Really want to give this a good honest effort on my part. Looking for advice. A friend from the Michigan City area told me to give the Kankakee River a shot at the State Line Bridge. His recommendation was 1/2 oz white Spinner bait and 20 lb braid. Those items I have along with a couple dual blade inline spinners with some bucktail at the hooks. From looking at that spot on Google maps it looks like a great place to kayak fish from but it also appears that a person could have a lot of bank to walk and fish from. I'm just looking to go as prepared as possible considering it's my first trip. Looks like we have a couple nice days next week. Need to get out and fish. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mike.
