Bass fishing near Chicago

Hi to everybody!

I love fishing and I moved to Chicago (downtown).
I would like to know hot spots in the Chicago area and farther where to
go and fish basses.
I'd like also to know about Illinois or Indiana hot spots in a ray of
100miles from Chicago.
any suggestions?
anyone from Chicago here to share experiences and to fish together?
where can I rent a boat for salmon and trouts fishing?

In Wis. Lake Geneva and Delavan Lake are worth trying.
As in Ill try Clinton Lake,Mill Creek,Powerton Lake,Braidwood ( just know
the lake) All are a bit father then 100 mile except Braidwood and the Wis
lakes but they are worth a Day trip.

Hi;

http://www.chicagofishing.org has a handy dandy table... it may not seem
all that intuitive at first, but if you click on "bass", it'll only show you
lakes known to have bass... same thing for trout (although it won't list
lakes with both bass and trout exclusively, you'd have to list one and then
then other) also, click on rentals at the top to get a list of lakes where
boat rentals are available...

Print out a map (there's over 100 maps online and a link with printing
instructions near the bottom of each page), check out a photo so you have
a idea where your heading (is it wooded or surrounded by houses or businesses).
Check out the reports page for links to various discussion sites like the
Great Lakes Sport Fishing Council, Windy City Fishing, Chi-town Angler, Lake
Link and so on.. Also on the links page are a number of charter services
that asked to be listed. Many of the charter services used to be free if
the day was a bust... also, check out Dale Bowmans column in the Chicago
Sun-Times as there are usually a list of charter services there as well.

WOW! I love this, thanks, and I'm dying to go with a boat! (but unlikely
I don't know anybody with one, and I don't want to be a "fishing
tourist" again - I went once, at it was nice, but I didn't have complete
control of the fish action.. http://snipurl.com/pescatamichigan so I
won't go again).
I would like to find fishing mates, enjoying friendship and fishing, and
if someone has a boat and wants to go fishing together, I'll love it.

it's very nice job.

as I told you, I went on a charter once, but is not for a real fisherman
like me, it's for fishertourists :-)

It costs a lot of money to have, maintain, license, and fuel a boat. I
strongly suggest if you do find somebody willing to take you fishing in
their boat that you be more than generous with fuel assistance, bring extra
munchies and drinks for your host when you go, and when you get off the
water take the time to hep your host clean and store his boat.

If you don't you probably won't get invited back very often.

I know, and I would like to buy one in some years.

I know it well, when I went to other people boats in Italy usually we
divided all expenses.
the same is when we go together fishing with a car. we divide fuel,
food, baits, everithing.
that's friendship. I don't want to take advantage of anybody.

Hi Vittorix, Well this ain't about fishing in, or near Chicago (I used
to live in Chicago, lived there all my life up until 2 years ago)

But it's a nice joke to tell you, and everyone else here in the group:

One day, I decided to take the day off, and go down the the Museum of
Science And Industry down by the Lakefront.

While browsing around the Museum, I decided to go take a look at the
captured German Submarine, the U-505.

So, while I'm standing there looking at the Submarine, there's this
little old Italian Man standing next to me looking at it too, so I
decided to strike up a conversation with him.

So, I asked the little old man "Say, is that a U-Boat"?

And the little old man replied,

No, That'sa no my Boat, I justa looook"! lol,
Mark
