Reminder: IL Fishing Licenses expired March 31st. Make sure you’re legal tomorrow!

Since October is here, the tournament season is over, I’m taking a month off from this page. If you message or comment I wont be responding until November. Thanks to everyone that fished this year, it was a great season with great turnouts. Let’s keep it going in 2026!

We were able to raise $4,500 for the veterans shelter on Saturday! That puts us in the $72-$73,000.00 range for total money raised. Thanks everyone for helping out as always! Thanks to all our sponsors! See you all next year for another tournament season hopefully. 🙏
