Tough Bite on the Kankakee - 8/15/06 - fish_a_holic - 08-17-2006 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.
