What time will people be done with class on Friday? I think it would be best to get down there around 3 to have plenty of time to fish. I'd would like to figure out ride situations. Who would like to go?

Hi! This is Matt Diana. I am the biologist at Ridge Lake. Glad to have interest. Just an update. The tournaments only have to be 4 hours, I misspoke earlier. but you are welcome to fish 6 if you want. We fished on Tuesday and only had a few caught, with the big fish being 19" and 3.5lbs. We only had a couple of tournament anglers there so I am hoping you all can show them up. The conditions are pretty turbid due to the recent rains. Looks like you are planning this Friday around 3, which is great. If you want to move it back and only fish 4 hours, just let me know. I won't be able to make it, but will have one of my guys there to set you up and conduct the "weigh-in". I really appreciate the help. Here's a link to Ridge Lake's website if you want more info: wwx.inhs.illinois.edu/fieldstations/kbs/ridgelake/If you have questions email me at mattd@illinois.edu. |

thanks for the additional information Matt. We are excited to get down there to fish and help with your research as well. Im thinking we should be able to run into a few hawgs.
Is everyone ok with fishing from around 3-dusk? IF we leave at 1:30 we should get there at 2:45 and we might as well fish as long as we can

Those with vehicles will have to decide who is driving. Keep in mind it is a 65 mile drive, so it would be nice to reimburse the drivers with a few bucks for gas.
