Ready to go

Well my long wait for my annual trip to Southern Illinois is over. My wife and I along with our two basset hounds will be off for the 1100 mile drive to our farm in Marion Ill. we should be there on Sunday afternoon and I hope to have my first 5lber before diner.
I will take plenty of pictures and plan on touring the fish hatchery.
We will be fishing in 5 private lakes for the next 2 weeks. the only bad thing will be dealing with all the ticks that are out there but it will be worth it if the fishing is half as good as it was last year

Good luck man! Have fun and be safe! :beer:

Have a fun and fish filled vacation Redbug.

Yar, keep a sharp eye for the Muskie Whale!


God Speed to thee

Have a safe and pleasant trip...Our Illinois weather looks like it may be pretty good for you.

What lakes are you fishing?

Hope you have a great and safe trip! Best of luck!
