Yep Jim exactly... not that there aren't people to fish it but most people fish an area that stinks and then never go back. Definitely the right place if you know how to fish it. I can go here after school with my friends for a few hours and get 10-15 crappie (mostly 7-8 inchers, but a there are some 12-13's in there. 12" fish pictured).As you might expect, there are millions of puckermouth bass in there. I got a 9 pounder on 4 lb mono on a crappie jig! (Story that I don't usually tell is that I had it on video, and I was like, "that's at least a 12 pounder." Then we weighed it...)
I have heard the Chicago River is an underfished urban hotspot for a variety of species...true?
