Rollin on the River
Well, the second event of the 2012 season was a roller coaster ride of lightening, wind, and rain, eventually giving way to a terrific day on the Illinois River.
The night before our scheduled event, the weather prediction was 70% chance of thunderstorms and lightening, with 25-30mph winds and gusts of 35-40mph. But by sunrise the next morning, the wind was a gentle 10-12mph, and a very light mist of rain gave way to scattered sunshine. All of this contributed to a terrific day on the river, with great fishing and lots of laughs.
With club members fishing from the Hennepin Launch and making runs as far as the Rt. 39 Bridge, Peru Flats, the High Lines, Power Plant, and the Clam beds,the fishing reports remained consistent…..lots of catches, most of them short.
At the end of the day Pete Trevino scored his first win of the 2012 season, followed closely by Kevin Newcomer in 2nd, and Don Ladenberger picking up a 3rd. Congrats to all the winners.
The Fox Valley Area Anglers will be off for one week, and then will travel on April 29th to Fulton, IL for a tournament on the Mississippi River.
