I know what you mean. We practically have to make our own maps of most of the lakes here.
There are ways to make your own topo map. I know guys that do this using depth and location data and an...
Do you guys always launch from South Lick Fork Ramp?
It took me a while to find your route on my MapSource Digital Map but I found it. Looks like a more direct route to the South Lick Fork Launch...
The State Highway 37 from I-64 to Tell City is EXIT #79.
Just wanted to clarify that. Now I see what you are talking about Dakota Kid. Sorry for my confusion.
I 64 = Interstate 64 or Indiana 64?
I am confused by your post. 231 is the highway that runs from Owensboro, KY up to Northern IN and runs though Huntingburg, IN and Jasper, IN.
If you are...
From the Evansville, IN area to Patoka lake try taking I-164 to I-64 East and then get off at Exit 79 or the new Highway 37 Exit.
I learned that this highway is not complete and it goes to the...
Patoka has so much cover in the form of trees and stumps that it may take you guys a while to see it all with the 797.
I hope that one or two other depth finder companies figures out how to...
I'll say a prayer for you and also rub my lucky rabbits foot in case the prayer don't work.
I hope you find a good surgeon/doctor who can fix you up. The others are not doing so go .. so far. ...
Ahhhhhh, I am so jealous of you guys now. Which Humminbird Side Scanning unit did he get? The 797, 997 or the new and larger 1197.
Man I wish I had an extra 3 grand laying around. Perhaps I can...
I went fishing for only the third time this summer. I caught about 7 to 10 crappie. Filleted them last night and gave a one quart zip lock baggie full of crappie fillets to the next door neighbor...
if you are fishing from the shoreline or bank the fish may be out of your reach. Big bluegills like to go deeper during the hot summer months. They may also be hiding in an amoung the submergent...
Back in the late 1970's the Corp of Engineers built two very nice large boat ramp on the Vanderburgh County, IN side of the Ohio River. I think that they are owned by the City or County now and...
I am guessing that it's still not running good? Rangers are nice boats but expensive.
I had to take my boat motor to two different places to finally get it fixed.
Sometimes it's not a...
Good luck and hopefully the Sea foam will dissolve any gum in the motor.
Hopefully that's all that's wrong with it. If not then you can alway check the spark plugs for a spark to see if they are...
There is a guy that use to post on the Indiana forums that fished for trout up by Sugar Ridge F&W area.
I have not fished for them myself. Perhaps he will post again.
iboats is a good site to get information about boat repairs etc. it's a well know web site.
I wish we were about 20 deg further South in Latitude and we could have threadfin shad in our region.
I know most guys would rather have threadfin shad that those stupid gizzard shad.
IDNR...
It would be nice if IDNR stocked some more Small Mouth Bass in Patoka. I would think that would help boost the SM populations.
According to the In_Fisherman Book on Small Mouth Bass it's very...
I just received a box of slick sticks that I ordered from Bass Pro Shops. I'll be installing them someday.
Now with my boat it takes me forever to get it to come off my trailer, thus my desire...
Water is a polar substance meaning that there is a charge on the molecule. Polar Substances will dissolve polar substances but not NON-polar substances.
Not sure but I think that Naptha may be...
Try using some sea foam in the gas tank first before you try anything else. It can only help and won't hurt the boat engine any.
If you have any gummy fuel in the carburetor the sea foam will...
Charlie:
We fished at Cypress Bay back then. And we always went the old way though Caro, Pool, Princeton Benton Murry and New Concord so it took longer to get there. But this was back in the...
I stayed at the Fin & Feather Camp back in 1970 and we loved that place. My entire family went back several more times while I was still in college.
I found a web site that appears to be the...
Water pH. When I fished Eagle Lake up in Ontario Canada I didn't think that much about the water's pH.
Today if I went back there that would be of interest to me.
Canadian Shield lakes may...
Head over to Louisville, KY and swing onto the Waterson and then swing over to Patoka Lake instead.
Ask your NASA friends for the waypoints. :):eek:
I could swing by my Aunt's old home if I went on the Waterson. :):eek:
Thanks for the tips. I may be able to use those for Patoka Lake or Bluegrass Pit someday.
I was catching some Whites the last time I fished Patoka Lake last year. I have not been up to Patoka this summer because it costs me over $40 to get there and back these days. I use to be able to...
The road State Hwy 145 North of I-64 to Birdeye is a very pretty road. It follows this small river. The River is smaller than the Pigeon Creek that runs though the middle of Evansville, IN but much...
Do you guys use a canon ball type down rigger to fish for those stripers?
They sell those mini down riggers at some of the sporting goods stores in Evansville, IN

What Highway do you take to get to Patoka Lake?
I am from the Evansville, IN area so I would take I-164 North to I-64 and then drive East on I-64 to Exit 72 (Birdseye Exit). Then take state hwy...
Patoka Lake is nice but it's no Kentucky Lake. It's not Barkley Lake and it's no where near Lake Cumberland.
Maybe the old saying: "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" is...
I have fished for crappie in this area and caught a few during the summer months. The crappie suspend over the creek channel in this area. They suspend about 10 to 15 ft down.
I was trolling...
I hear you Mike.
I wish this state would do more for wildlife and fisheries still.
Mike:
I agree with you about the Career guys. I was not aware that you were or are a biologist?
Anyway the one thing that you said that I have to wonder about is the comment about the...
Patoka Lake is very nice but it's somewhat crowded on the weekends. I rate Patoka Lake right up there next to KY and Barkley Lakes. I would rate it 3rd while KY lake would be Number 1 and Barkley...
I am 100% sure that they stocked Muskie into Bluegrass Pit. And I am pretty sure that they also Stocked them in Loon Pit.
But this past spring the flood waters were over the roads between...
I normally stay off Loon Pit because of all the hidden shallow areas. Leaving the Northern Ramp on Loon Pit can be difficult. You have to stay to the East Side until you get further South. Then you...
Just buy a DC motor type Air Pump and do the same thing. That way you can run it off your 12 volt batteries in your boat. You will get a lot more air out of one of these aquarium type air pumps...
Head North out of Evansville on I-164 bypass. When you get to the Boonville New Harmony Rd exit get off there and head East for about 2 or 3 tenths of a mile. The Bluegrass Pit will be on your left...
The water's clarity has a great deal to do with the depth that the light can penetrate into the water. It probably has a much greater effect on how deep submergent vegetation can grow than on the...
Exactly:
They should have asked me to consult with them on this device. I have an idea that will make it work much better and let them catch some big fish.
This is an idea that I have had in...
I have told this story a few times before but I want to remind folks that some of the bigger bluegills may nest as deep as 20 ft in really clear water.
While scuba diving at the Old Cerulean...
Geofisher:
You are doing just fine mate.
Remember guys that during the winter months the lake has mixed and will be the same temperature from top to bottom. Well there will be a slight...
I like that picture. It's unique and coolGood to see some guys are adapting and still fishing.
Use light line that they fish can't detect as well as heavy line. If the fish are in the grass I would try several methods.
Unweighted plastics that sink so slow that it would take them a while...
How many are going to go fishing this weekend. How far will you be willing to drive. Will you stay over night in a motel or campsite?
I am just curious if everyone will go on long trips.
...
It's good to know that the Sunfish (bluegills are only one species of the sunfish family) are spawning now in Southern IN lakes.
I love to fish for bluegill with my fly rod at this time of the...
Riverrunt:
I sent you a private message with some useful information which may be of some help.
Good luck with your project.
Maybe you guys could hook up with some of the local bass...
Thinking about going fishing today or cutting grass. I have only been out fishing twice this spring. Caught 11 nice crappie the first time out and about 15 small crappie the second time out.
