jim-it is a chunck of reinforced concrete that juts out over the water near a steep dropoff.kind of ramps up putting you about 6 ft above the waterall deep weeds and large rocks.this is a very old quarry some guys bought back in the 40s.since it is just out of chicago city limits a lot of various stuff was dumped here..these guys have turned this into a little piece of paradise.with beautiful grounds.docks etc.the surrounding area is abandoned heavy industry and some rough neighbor hoods.this club is very exclusive and very hard to become a member.these guys like their privacy so not gonna describe it much more.

Excellent fish, Jim!
Is that narrow plank you are standing on actually a pier?
