Bass Fishing at Spring Lake South State Park, near Peoria IL

This wasn't the biggest fish of the day, but he was my favorite. Built like a concrete block at 18.5 inches.

Anyway, Mom and I hit the water about 1:15 PM and fished until 6:30 PM. The afternoon started out sunny, but within 2 hours, the sun disappeared and that 20 MPH East wind started feeling a little less friendly.  Air temp was 52, water temp was 49, clarity about a foot.

Pattern was exactly the same, all of the fish where caught on the Yum Wooley Curlytail grubs, swimming them VERY slowly over deep holes (this is a very shallow lake) just like Jan 3,4 2007 , Jan 6,7 2007 ,  Jan 11, 2007 and March 13,2007.

Best fish were these two 4 pounders

19.5" 19.75"

Also had this cool looking 17 incher with Black Lips

  17" Black Lips

and a few other "keepers"

17" 16" 15"

Here's a VIDEO CLIP of releasing some fish

I've been getting a lot of questions about Lake Sangchris lately.  I haven't fished it in 2007, so I'd better get over there one of these days to check it out.

Good Luck Everybody !!!!
