Spawn @ IL...
Our Eyez start on the riprap & hardbottom humps in March/April. It's mostly 2lb ave dink males squirtin' in the boat in the daytime, but after dark the daytime inactive Gals move up to do there spawn thingy. Shallow IL has loads of clueless fishing pressure in the daytime, so only a few 'luck inactive Gals are caught in the daytime for all 4 seasons...
By June with the numerous mayfly hatches and over-abundance of new shad they get harder and more picky to catch, then comes the summer dogdays of Aug with high daytime water temps - if you read what I posted you should have the 'drift on my home lake & my reasons for my 'rodbendin' style,,,
You I-Guys might have some large shallow bays or riprap that you could twist my IL approach for your use...mostly I like to 'chase sUMos over 8 lb after dark in all seasons (hard & soft).
later Gators-
da old fart...
