What is a week day outing?
Fish and Lunch
Weekday outings are held on Wednesdays and Fridays. Fishing from 7 am to 12 noon within a hour drive from the St. Charles area. After a good morning of reeling in those fish we all head out to lunch locally to talk about our morning on the water. For more information please contact the coordinator for that event.
The WDO team has put together a challenging and fun agenda for 20224 with 4 Wednesday boating outings and 7 Friday boating outings plus a local Friday shore-fishing finale in October." We included 4 of our perennial favorites twice. We’ll fish each of those 4 venues early in the year when the bite is at it’s best and we’ll hit each of them again in the warmer months when they’re a little harder to catch. By then we’ll find those venues easier to find, navigate, and fish, and we’ll all be better anglers.
