It was a blast, man! We gotta get another float in next year

I live along the river! Batavia dam is awesome. You could catch some decent walleyes and catfish, along with plenty of bass. Come down and fish!

Great video! Kinda funny when you said you can only access this area by kayak, but your just standing in the river..lol just giving you shit. Looks like a great day of fishing!

Well there's only a couple access points so you'd have to trespass through people's backyards to access most of these spots lol. Thanks for watching!

Outstanding day so happy for you keep up the great videos . It will not be long and ice fishing will be your thing 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Plenty of quality smallmouth in this river! And a nice walleye. It seemed like it had a fair amount of water flowing as well which seems unusual for this year. Cool video!

I live less than 5 mins away fro the river, I've never fished in fox river but if they have walleye I would love to get one

​@@EngineeringHooksetsnice, what would you recommend using as bait for walleye? And how far to cast it out(from shore)

@EngineeringHooksets

24 күн бұрын

@Xanderteeny-id21 I'd recommend the EFH Banshee 3" paddle-tail from engineeringhooksets.com in pink. That's my lure brand, but lots of walleye have been caught on them, including in the Fox (pics on my website). As for where to fish, I would say bring your swimsuit to a public access point (kayak launch) and wade out into the river. The Fox is very shallow in most places, so it's easy to wade. Good luck

@@EngineeringHooksets I have fished the Fox for smallmouth and catfish and carp for 35 years. The last ten years I’ve met folks from all over Chicagoland on the river. It used to be that everyone would stay up by the damns, which was fine with me. Now I see guys stomping, literally stomping through prime smallmouth holes down river. It kills me. I know it’s everybody’s river, but at least use some etiquette. Please pinch your barbs down, be nice to the fish and report poaching. Enough of this old man ranting. Cheers boys!

Great Scenery on the Fox???? Really??? Gotta get out more in Illinois if you want to find great scenery
