<p>I have new sponsor product and our tackle stores will help us out locally. If your business would like to sponsor the fishing league - let me know. Non-fishing businesses, support the cause too and get noticed.</p>

Saturday May 8th our bank fishing league will fish one of the area's best bluegill lakes. I will have complete coverage from Arlington Heights Event including weights, photos and descriptions of the fishing league's second event. Lake Arlington will be the site of our event, both our league and the lake are catch-and-release. Bluegills will be caught tomorrow even though we are on the second day of a cold front following cold rains.<div><br></br></div>

Lake Arlington will be the site of our event, both our league and the lake are catch-and-release. Bluegills will be caught tomorrow even though we are on the second day of a cold front following cold rains.<div><br/></div>
<div>Expect good numbers from our group as a few of our league participants were catching well at the 1st event. Will someone break the 20 lb. of bluegill mark in 4 hours? We will see.</div>
<div>For more information on the fishing league near Chicago you can join and follow our <a href="http://www.bigbluegill.com/group/chicagofishingleague">Chicago Fishing Group</a> in the Groups section or you can visit our Club & Fishing League WebSite at <a href="http://chicagofishingschool.com/">ChicagoFishingSchool.com</a> .</div>
<div>The league is cheap and a whole lot of fun fishing timed 4-hour events on Chicago suburban ponds and lakes. All species count and the bluegill is our top fish at events.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>The league is for fishing and we also sponsor seminars around the area to learn how you can increase your catch.</div> League Fishingtag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2010-02-05:2036984:Topic:714342010-02-05T05:19:30.179ZJohnny wilkinshttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/chicagofishing
We have a couple of sponsors for our league so anyone fishing our events - we will have prizes and the excitement of big bags of fish.<div><br></br></div>
<div>For anyone new to fishing leagues, we make the schedule on a few lakes around the Chicago area where we will meet, draw numbers for spots and then head out to set up at these spots.</div>
<div>A horn sounds and then timed fishing runs 4 hours.</div>

<div>A horn sounds and then timed fishing runs 4 hours.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>At the end of the 4 hours rods go down and then we go around and weigh the bags, see all the fish caught. This is a great way to spend a couple hours meeting new people and fishing together. Best of all, it allows you to see how you did, what fish were caught and to compare notes.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>This is a casual environment for beginners to expert fishermen (and women) who want to get together. Everyone enjoys the day if they caught a few or they caught a lot. You will learn a great deal from these short sessions. The league fishes about twice a month.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>If interested in fishing for lots of bluegill around Chicago as well as bonus catches of other fish, I will be posting our schedule here in a few weeks. Tell your friends around Chicago that this will be a great time - I look forward to meeting a bunch of you this Spring.</div>

<div>Drop me a line if you have any questions.</div>
