Please practice catch & release.

  Raoul Lund, the former gardener on the Julius Rosenwald estate, arrived in Warren­ville in 1921. Having paid $300 for used build­ings, he opened the R C. Lund Greenhouses on Winfield Road.

 DuPage AnglerRobar144 Nails Spinner Lunker At Lund Lake in DuPage Copunty.

I decided to hit “old faithful” today, Lund Lake. Since the weather has warmed quite a bit in the last few weeks I have been catching only smaller shoreline Bass and very few at that. I decided that I would take a ride out to Lund Lake.

At 3pm I started out with a white 3/8 Booyah spinner. After tossing my fourth attempt I felt the smash of this beast. It hit the bait about 10ft off shore and gave a good fight. After this guy I began cycling through the baits that I had chosen for the day; GY Senko, Booyah spinner & various cranks, the fish continued to bump the spinner. I would have undoubtedly caught a few more if I would have switched to a smaller bait selection but today it was get a big one day.
 

Gear:
(2) spinning rods; med (1 w/20lb braid & flourocarbon) (1 w/12lb mono)
Baitcaster w/20lb fluorocarbon
Weather: 89, partly cloudy with light wind. Most bumps and the catch occurred during the cloud cover.
Water: Stained/cloudy, mild wind current to the north

Status: Released

Cook'em?

Naw, I almost always C&R. The exceptions are when I am targeting gills, crapie or other eddibles in non urban lakes. I have eaten quite a few Bass in the past and while they are not bad but I think they are a bit gamey. My favorite are the gills craps cats trout wallys and pearch when I can find them. At this point I really enjoy the sport of the fishing in dupage. It wasnt that long ago that the fishing in this area seemed to be either exhausted or polluted away. The DP DNR has done a great job rebuilding the fisheries around here.
