  • In this video I did some more creek fishing for smallmouth bass here in Northern Illinois. It was hands down the best day of smallmouth fishing I’ve ever had especially in a tiny creek! I love catching these mean smallmouth bass and sharing it with you guys.
    Thanks so much for watching, and don’t forget to subscribe if you want to see more!!! Hope you enjoy!

    How are you getting access to these streams?? Illinois isn't typically sportsman friendly. Did you know a couple of the property owners?? Thanks.

    • @GetTheGaffOutdoors
      @GetTheGaffOutdoors  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would agree with you there about Illinois. Yes I have a relationship with property owners, but some spots are public as well. It takes a little bit of leg work to find em!

    how long does a bass have to be to allow you to keep it and take it home to eat?

    • @GetTheGaffOutdoors
      @GetTheGaffOutdoors  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Smallmouth are actually closed during the spawn here in IL. On a larger fishery usually the legal minimum is enough for me 👍

      @@GetTheGaffOutdoors when is the spawn? and also thanks. but what is the minimum length a bass has to be to keep it? in oregon a rainbow trout has to be 8 inches to keep it. but i dont keep if it is not 10 inches more on trout. but ya curious to size limit. not just how many one can take home. so 3 questions..... when is spawning over? how many bass can you take home i a day? what is the length they have to be to keep? thanks

      @GetTheGaffOutdoors  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @MOUNTAINOUS usually April/May or so. I’m not sure if there is a size limit in IL but you can only keep 3 and only only after June 15

      Most of this was using a shaker head jig with half a senko. Kinda of a weed less ned rig. Thanks for commenting and being subscribed man!

      Not quite. This spot doesn’t really have any relation toy eh apple river. Doesn’t hold as many big suckers/redhorse and the bass are seasonal

      @@GetTheGaffOutdoors I have a few streams like that up there. Council Hill area and like I said on the way to Lena on Stage Coach there are a couple. I absolutely slayed them on a Super Rooster tail in the early fall one year as they were fattening up before going back to the rivers. In early spring the following year I never got a bite. I think I was too early for them to be that far up before the spawn. In the Council Hill are I also caught a few Sauger. I live down in S Illinois, but my family is from Galena. As a child I would go with my Grand Father as he walked along those streams with a popper on a cane pole.

      @GetTheGaffOutdoors  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s a beautiful area and I love living here! A popper is my go to bait in the summer. I love watching them blow up on them! Was that on private ground if I may ask?

      @@GetTheGaffOutdoors It was by a farm, but access was by a bridge. We did ask at the farm first and they didn’t care. I think they were surprised that we asked because there is so little fishing pressure there. Right under the bridge is a shallow rapids that empties into a nice pool. I think this empties into the Galena.

      Northwest Illinois. These smallies make their way up from the Mississippi river and other rivers into these small creeks.
