Illinois Exploration 2013
For easy sharing purpose, I've posted the report on my blog. You can click on the links below to read all three parts of the trip. Enjoy!
http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.ca/...day-1.html http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.ca/...day-2.html http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.ca/...day-3.html ** After three glasses of Sangria, some tapas and a plate of paella, I started writing this report at 11:30pm...and finished it at 2:30am...and posted it here at 2:45am...how's that for dedication to timely reporting? 
Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger. Life List: 577 species and counting (2016: 91 new species) http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.ca/...-list.html |

Orangethroat darter in that one stream were everywhere as well...pretty easy. Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear.

RE: Illinois Exploration 2013
Neither. Both paella and Sangria actually inhibits prompt reporting...because I spent 3 hours at the restaurant that could have been 3 hours of writing

RE: Illinois Exploration 2013
Tapas were consumed alongside paella and Sangria...so no, that can't be the reason...
I just have fast typing fingers and I write fishing reports like a madman... Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear.
