Fishing this week has been a little up and down with the winds being the big factor. But despite it we managed to catch quite a few 4 to 5 # stripers, a few walleye and smallmouth. The weather today was cold and rainy and it took awhile to get on the fish but when I did I caught 10 stripers up to 15 lbs. I have been fishing the upper end of Wilson from Minooka west on the shallow water breaks with live shad. I am still getting reports of the whites being in the river at least until this cold front hit. Sure hope the weather settles down this week, Good Luck<br><br>
