Been hearing that the west side is good, personally, I don't do well on the west side. CIL can be good, I go because its close to home and I am just there to catch and release. Got a nice 22" and 21" on Sunday with some other nice sized ones. I may be on the east side with a few guys this Sunday and will post how we do. Probably going out at Pruden or 103, I never fish Balsome.
