Report by Bud's Bait & Tackle 

The lousy weather is keeping the anglers at home. But the few that are going and can stand the cold temps did a little good on the catching. Catfish, crappie, small mouth and stripers did end up on their hooks. Unfortunately not in big numbers. With the sunshine and warmer temps, I am sure the reports will be better next week. Until then. keep a tight line.

Strippers are hitting on striper jigs in Hell Creek area and boat anglers caught some west of Minooka on live bait

Channel Catfish very good using shrimp, shad sides and gizzards 

Walleye spotty but the weather is keeping the anglers to a minimum. Have not seen the Walleye just rumor.
