It was a busy weekend with our New Member Outing taking place on Sunday. 11 member boats hosted 41 new members. Welcome to the club! Glad the weather cooperated (sort of) and the fish were biting.

Our first club tournament of the year was a big success. The weather was great, and the fish were biting.

Are you interested in fishing one of our club tournaments? More information may be found on our website. The next club tournament is May 30th.

This is a video of the entire weigh-in. Another video has been posted on our Members Only page. In that video, the tournament winners share where they fished and how they caught their fish. You do need to be a member of Salmon Unlimited IL to participate in our club tournaments, and to join the Members Only page. The club tournaments are a great opportunity to learn from your fellow members, network, get a free lunch, and quite possibly win some money. It's a great deal for just a $50 entry fee per boat. We hope to see you at the next tournament.

SU IL Club Tournament Anglers – PLEASE READ
1) Tomorrow’s tournament is set to start at 5am, with a shotgun start from the harbor mouths at Winthrop Harbor and Waukegan. Radio call-in is on channel 68, and starts at 4:30am. The tournament boat to call into is Do Jigger, which will be out of Winthrop Harbor. For those boats out of Waukegan, if you do not have a powerful radio, call-in after you are out in open water. If you are not able to reach the tournament boat, please ask another boat out of Waukegan to radio relay your participation in the tournament.
2) There is presently a Small Craft Advisory in effect that is set to expire at 7pm tonight. We will be making a further post regarding the weather this afternoon / evening. Please monitor your marine radio on channel 68 at 4:30am for any further announcements. If necessary, the tournament may be delayed in the morning if the Small Craft Advisory gets extended.
3) All persons participating in the tournament need to be SU IL members and complete the tournament waiver. Both of these may be completed on our website. The electronic tournament waiver issues have been resolved and may again be completed using a mobile device. A link to the waivers: https://www.salmonunlimitedinc.com/su-club-tournaments
4) If this is your first tournament, the rules may also be found on our website, and there is a Frequently Asked Questions section. However, if you do still have questions, please post your question here.

A recap from last night's general meeting:
1) Our first club tournament is this Saturday. To participate, you do need to be a member and complete a waiver, both of which may be completed on our website. We are aware that there are issues completing the waiver on a mobile device. We are working to resolve those issues, and if they can not be resolved, we will provide you with a workaround. However, if you are able to complete the waiver from a desktop computer, that is your best option at this time.
2) We plan to post a pre-tournament video on this page Friday night. Right now the weather is looking good. If that changes, please look to this page for updates. As always, if a Small Craft Advisory issues, that will cause the tournament to be cancelled.
3) Our New Member Outing is this Sunday. So far, the weather is looking good for that. Again, a Small Craft Advisory issuing would cause that event to be cancelled.
4) Rich Matthews gave a great presentation on meat rigging. The video has been posted to our Members Only page. Whether you already use meat rigs are considering trying them, watching that video would be well worth your time.

05/12/2026

Come to our meeting TONIGHT, May 12th at 7:30pm. Rich Mathews of Musselhead Tackle will be the speaker tonight. Rich will be discussing his unique meat rigs and how to use them.

Our meetings are FREE and open to the public. We meet at T-Woods Restaurant, 1051 N Wood Dale Rd, Wood Dale, IL.
