HAHA, I didn't think anyone would ever reply to this. Thanks, man.
I've got a fishing trip planned at Dale Hollow Nov 1 - Nov 10.
I have fished Dale in late December, January, April, May, etc. I kind of know how to approach it during those times, but November...
We must be fishing the same areas. I always get a full bag of these.
I'm heading to Rend Lake this weekend for the first time.
I'm hoping the fall bite will be started.
The few comments I've heard on this board seem to be focused on finding the grass, and not...
Thanks for the good advice, Clark and Justin.
I am fortunate in that cost isn't a big hurdle for me, even though I still try to be pretty frugal (I hear some of my fishing buddies laughing at that...
I have an 1197, and it did take some fiddling with, but I get high-speed 2D now too, though like others have said, if I run over a stump or a rock, I'm sure I will be buying another SI...
Does anyone know the locations of any fly fishing shops near Evansville? I'd go into American Legacy, but that place is crazy expensive.
I'm trying to get into fly fishing, and I'd like to...
Sheesh...I hope they are okay. From the looks of the driver's side console, I'm pretty sure someone went to the hospital.
I don't know what kind of GPS they had, but most of them say right on the...
You can also go the route I have chosen.
I bought a Guest battery charger with an alternator module that charges my trolling motor batteries once the starting battery is topped off. I have...
Oh, okay. I thought you meant I had "to be kidding you." I don't want to come off as too preachy.
However, while excess nitrates aren't a great thing, it is very difficult to build up truly...
You're missing my point, Steve. Arsenic is definitely worth worrying about. IT's a serious problem in some areas. But as toxic waste goes, it's not particularly heavy. Because the TRI is just...
Maybe...but then again, you are dealing with people who think CO2 is a pollutant, and are militant enough to give it legal status as such. By the EPA's' definition, the bass themselves are guilty of...
That was a little joke for CMorg. He watched my fat butt fall out of my boat into Dogwood last Summer. It would have been pretty hilarious if I hadn't lost my sunglasses. Oh, who am I kidding...it...
I love it when I'm trolling around the main lake and I spot a school of White Bass busting on shad. Stop the boat and throw every thing you have at them. Guaranteed hookups.
Redear, I know you're upset about the possible loss of fishing habitat. You should be. It sounds bad to me too.
I just think you need to accept the reality that the coal company digs where the...
I have rarely targeted White Bass, but I have caught my share of them. In the Spring, I have caught them trolling deep cranks around the entrance to Fleming Creek, and all around the main lake,...
Well, I'm sure there is some possibility of negative impact on Dogwood. But let's face it...Dogwood isn't some pristine natural lake. It's artificial too, just like a strip pit. And let's not...
Depending on weather, of course, Patoka usually hits about 63 F in late April or early May, and then the spawn is on. You can catch the bass spawning just about anywhere you have shallow flats...
Boone, I haven't fished Dale Hollow before, but I am in your shoes. I am going to fish there next May, and have done a lot of research on the Lake. I hear that if you want to find weeds, look for...
Thanks for the great link, Pappy.
I'm also glad to hear that Cumberland isn't as bad as I thought. I guess I just hear "dam failure" and assume all hell is breaking loose LOL.
From what I've...
I'm curious about some of the lakes on the way to Dale Hollow from Evansville, IN.
Since I'm basically taking a whole week off work next May to come down to Dale Hollow, my buddy Mark and I were...
Mono - Sufix Siege
Fluoro - Vicious (by far, the best value product)
Braid - Fireline
I'd have about 4 more of each of my Revo STX and Revo Premier. In my opinion, the only improvement I'd like to see is some sort of a "flippin switch", like the cheap ol' Silver Max has. It really...
ROFL...yes, it's like a regular Charybdis.
I know the "ride the motor" trick", but I'm a big ol' hoss, and I wouldn't wish that on any motor. :D
That's a beaut, Embry. I've really got to get me a ladder for my boat so I can feel a bit safer going out on cold water like that. I might not be "afraid", but I've got a good healthy respect for...
I ate three turnovers yesterday for Thanksgiving. :D
Geo...you may find it hard to believe, but Patoka started turning over in late September. It sounds crazy, but I saw the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers data with my own eyes. Here is the latest from...
Embry...a lake can't really turn over multiple times in quick succession. Strictly speaking, the turnover is the rapid equalization of water temperature, from top to bottom, usually brought about by...
I didn't mean to imply the wind hurt the fishing. I just meant what you alluded to...trying to keep a boat on a spot in 15-20mph wind just ruins the day for me. I want to relax. If I could afford...
I fished it for a couple of hours Sunday. I really wish I had gotten my butt out of bed earlier. I caught one 16" bass on a white spinnerbait. Water temp was 59 degrees. If you can get out there...
If by bigger, if you mean "fatter," you might be right. As always though, when I take photos of my fish, I have to remind people how big I am. Suffice it to say I am considerably bigger than most...
FishFeeder...I try to stay away from formulas, especially those involving girth, because girth is such an odd measurement to take. It has to be in exactly the same spot every time, and assumes all...
Embrey, that fish has a bit of a hollow in its belly, so I'm going to go somewhere between 5 and 5-1/2. Anything else would be pure speculation. Great fish though. I bet it fought like taking food...
Embrey, really hard to say on girth, but I'm going to say 5 to 5-1/2 lbs. This fish looks an awful lot like the 21 inchers I pulled out of Patoka this Summer. They both weighed 5 lbs on the nose.
...
I love Patoka, and fished it probably 20 times this year, but I'm in Evansville. If I were 10 miles from Monroe, I might not even know Patoka was there.
I remember as a kid back in 1979, there were nice (again, by Indiana standards) Northern Pike in Patoka. Unfortunately, they stopped stocking them. Supposedly there are still a few left, but I...
Haha, yeah...I'm sitting here trying not to move too much, typing very carefully. :D
Shane,
When you say "grass", are you referring to the milfoil that's everywhere, or are there spots with actually grass?
Not to be pedantic, but I've searched and searched that Lake, and...
Patoka started turning over about two weeks ago. I read the USACE water quality reports religiously, and the graphs started showing uniform temperature and dissolved oxygen from the surface down to...
