Trout have been super-aggressive this month. Carp, Crappie, and Bluegill have slowed down a lot due to the colder temps, but trout fishing action has been unbelievable!

• December 8 - Fished with Grandpa Herman and brother-in-laws Jared and Dave. We picked up our first few trout with spinners and jigs, then finally picked up a carp and some more trout with nightcrawlers.
  
  
• December 24 - The Esslingers from Michigan, Arizona, Iowa, and Florida got together for the holidays in Central Illinois and decided to do a little fishing. It was cold, but the action was hot! All trout. Nice little get away from the rest of the extended family!
  
  
• December 31 - Brian from Dunlap and Todd from Morton spent the last day of the year fishing! We caught nice trout, and were surprised with 2 nice crappies. Also hooked into a lunker carp.
