kickinbass and I hit the Kankakee today and man was it ever a tough bite today!
Conditions were stacked against us, but we made the best of it...
air temps were somewhere between 65 - 75
water was slightly turbid with visibility down to 1.5 feet
humidity - 65%
barometer - 30.18
atmosphere - fairly clear and bright
wind - NNE 3mph
We worked all the areas they should have been, and a few that they shouldn't have been in...there were minnows everywhere, millions of em and the carp were a little rambunctious but we did our best.
...here's one of Don's bass

Primarily cast a buzz bait, and various plastics, although we did get bit on a Sizmic Toad and a tandem willow leaf spinner bait...kick can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thing the final tally for the afternoon was 15 bass boated, and between 7 - 10 got the best of us.
...here's one of
my small ones.

Nature Notes: we were fortunate enough to see a bald eagle soaring overhead again, and 3 white egrets perched high above the water in a stark tree.
...all in all, another great time was had by us (the Kankakee Boys) down by the Kankakee.
