Illinois River fishing / Utica, IL

[phatdaica]

thanks. I fish in this area alot too. I went like 4 times a week in early april. I usually get out there around 4 or 5 am and fish till 8am. We used to get the whole cooler of striper. lately not so much.
I 'll try these new spots. I keep driving pass the park near the dam but didn't know if we can fish there or not. What do u use for bait? I use fresh minnows from the water.
thanks
