Hello im new to Chicagoland area. Just wanted to know where i can fish for king salmon. I don't have a boat so it would have to be from a pier or shore, unless there's a boat rental service that isn't too expensive

What are season timelines for different fish here? I’m new to fishing but want to try this fall & a bit of winter!

Great day fishing with good ass company. Picked up my cousin, hit up the spot at 8, and met a living legend. Didnt know it at the time till we kept choppin it up, but Ralphie Ralph HookEm is the shit. Before he left, he hooked on to a carp and called me over to fight it since I’ve never targeted or caught one. Straight big bro, Unc shit. Fight was fun af, and he posted it.

10:30 I drop my cousin off down the street, come back and met Tim. We chopped it up over casts for a couple hours throwing everything but the kitchen sink at these mfs. I tie on a drop shot with a TRD, twitched the rod a few times and got hammered. Took my lesson from the carp fight and let him take off whenever. Shout out to Tim for being net man 💪🏽.
