I picked up a Native Watercraft Ultimate 12 last year. Only fished in it a couple of time so far, but it was real stable. It's more like a smaller canoe with a built in seat that is pretty...
I use to when I lived in Indiana. We use to fish JC Murphy, Fletcher, and Manitou lakes mostly. I fished Atterbury of couple of times, but preferred the othe lakes. JC Murphy had huge bluegills back...
Agree with Mhall on the jerkbait and crankbait. Late March and early April, I like to fish a grub as well on points and around weeds. I fish a zoom glimmer blue grub, but others swear by watermelon...
Thanks for the info guys. Looks like I need to head to Sportsmans Warehouse and look at both a glass and graphite cranking rod and pick the one that feels best.
New to fishing bait casters. I've got a 6'6" Med MF crucial rod with a curado 101 that's great for smaller cranks. I'm want one for fishing deeper cranks of 10+'. What do you recommend? I'm thinking...
Hoover,
Best time in the spring is April through about mid-May. If I had to pick in advance, I would shoot for mid-April. It's always a little bit of a gamble based on the weather and water temps....
You need to check out Native Watercrafts Ultimate Kayak. It is hybrib Yak/Canoe. They have an Angler version, but too expensive in my opinion. I bought a regular and installed my own flush mount rod...
Instead of a smaller hook, try a small feather jig with a bee moth below the bobber (you may have to add some split shot). The jig will prevent deep hooking those bluegills. Kids don't like to see...
I think has more to do with a post I read where 2 men drowned at the Cannelton **** when they crossed the red line and their john boat got sucked in. Two others tried to help them and almost drowned,...
If this continues to grow, my guess is we will see the insurance companies get involved and demand accounting for scarp sales of these pellets. They are not going to continue to pay $1500 for some...
My father was an IN CO years ago and the one violation that he would not cut any slack on was riding on the bow or the gunnels. He said that if people ever saw someone that had been chopped up by a...
That little black rooster tail has always been great for bluegill for me. If you don't want them to have to mess with a treble hook and decide to go with the wax worms, I'd use the little popeye jig...
I guess my thought is that life is too short to worry about stuff like this. You have to live your life in a way that you can look back on it and be proud with how you lived it. Pass that value on to...
Mike,
He was North Regional Commander until 1985 when he passed. He organized a lot of clean up efforts around the Cass County area in the mid-70s. He'd dig through trash and find mail and haul them...
Organizing youths for clean up projects is a little more difficult now days so make sure you check it out thoroughly with regards to liability in the event that one gets hurt. If you're talking paper...
On Google go to Maps and then type in Waveland, IN. You'll see Lake Waveland Park just north west of the town of Waveland on High 47.
It's west of Indianapolis and south of Crawfordsville.
Hope...
Wife said there was a report on the news tonight in Columbia SC where they are stealing them in parking lots at shopping areas. It said they can take one in 30 seconds. It seems to be rampant now. I...
I was watching something where they said it is pretty much impossible to get a siphon hose into a tank on a 2002 model or newer. I think they said there's a ball in there that prevents you from...
I don't have much problem with people fishing an area where they saw me catch fish. Mainly because I fish for relaxation and personal gratification. It's not an ego thing for me and I feel that I...
The fees aren't an issue for me. Its the water quality, habitat, and fishery. They just haven't been taken care of in Indiana. Although, some water ways like the white river have improved in recent...
That was my Dad.
I grew up there fishing the Eel river and Wabash river in Cass County. Thirty years ago those 2 rivers were great fisheries, especially for smallmouth. Then farm land went up in price and the farmers...
I've caught some white bass at Dale in the Obey, upstream from Sunset dock. They were nice thick ones in the 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lb range, but I could never manage more than 2 or 3 in an outing. Someone...
I've got to got the other direction. I'd get him a decent spinning rod/reel combo with a 6' med action rod. I was using a spinning reel at 10. If you take him out and spend the day focusing on him...
Red Shad,
I haven't really fished for them, but have caught a few on a grub while fishing for smallmouth and I can tell you there are some monster crappie in Dale. I caught one over 2 lbs and I've...
Phil,
I can't give you any insight to Norris, but if you don't get a reply on this site, try www.easttennesseefishing.com
Bill,
Dale was drawn down very low this winter to provide water for the Cumberland watershed. The primary water source for this is typically Lake Cumberland in Kentucky, but they have pulled it down...
There's a place at Dale Hollow called Cove Creek that has camp sites, a free launch ramp, a swim area, restrooms, and plenty of bank to fish. I can't personally vouch for the bank fishing, but I do...
[QUOTE=billm_usa1;319802]It's the $20 wheel tax on boat trailers that each county administration is allowed to impose. On my car and truck I can see because there on the road quite a bit. But a boat...
Slipbobber,
I don't know that you want to Ditch Mitch. He was the only one that came up with creative ways to restore your state budget without taking all of it out of your pockets. Remember,...
Justin,
When you refer to the remote are you talking about the key fab thing they have. I've often wondered how well that works.
Got this from an in-fisherman article a while back and it has worked for me. When fishing braid add a 8-10 ft leader of mono (not fluoro) for the invisibility factor as well as a shock absorber. This...
Around Sunset Marina today it was looking muddy versus stained at least from the bridge. Mid-lake on down is usually pretty clear as far as the main lake. The creeks at mid-lake on down may have a...
That Clarksville BPS is definitely bigger and has a better selection than both the Nashville and Knoxville stores.
I used plastic locking ties to keep it close to the shaft. One thing to do is that you need to consider the longest distance from where the cable comes out to where the trolling motor head is for...
It's the Walmart syndrome. Sometimes we don't realize what we're giving up in the long run to save a few bucks today. I worked for 3 years in my early pre-teen years at a bait shop in Indiana. It was...
Another way to go is to keep reasonable limits on your policies and then buy an umbrella liability policy. I did that and I think I pay about $250/year for $1M in liability coverage.
I was up there about 2 years ago for a week. It is HUGE. I went the week of the 4th of July and it was one of their worst weeks of fishing, so don't go then. The owner of the place we stayed said...
If you want to lower your payment, increase your deductible. I try to keep all of my deductibles at $1,000 or more. While it hurts if you have to pay it, I want the insurance to cover major problems....
If you want to make your own jigs but don't want to pour lead, Lurecraft.com has weedless football head jigs for $11.50 per 25. They also have silicone skirt material, living rubber, paint, skirt...
I agree with tfmuch. I think you guys are building the next step argument for PETA. Do you know how to grow a lot of huge bass?... Outlaw fishing period.
I would rather see a guy take his legal...
This is a little different. I was walking one of the old roads on Army Corp land at Dale Hollow with my dog last month and half way to the water there was a fast food salad bowl and a fork. This road...
I have them for trolling motor batteries on both boats. They seem to hold a charge longer for me. The main reason that I initially bought them was for the troll fury system for one of my 12V trolling...
Check the home page at Smalljaw.com. Andrew Robertson and SmallyChaser do very well in spring at Dale.
I think it's risky. The internet will be your biggest challenge. I'm already buying online from 3 or 4 small guys and then there is ebay. I know I wouldn't drive more than a few miles out of my way...
I think they use different size limits to maximize a given fishery (what's the age of the body, what's the forage, what other fish make up the fishery, etc...). I read an article where the biggest...
I'd say from what I've heard the most popular loomy on Dale is the 7'7" or 7'4" Bronzeback in MH. The word on them is that they have a sensitive tip and the length and backbone to set the hook in...
The only thing I'll add to what Waco said is consider spooling one spool with the braid/leaqder setup for your heavier jigs and then I would probably go with 6# mono or fluoro on the other spool to...
Check this site. They have some St. Croix Avids on sale. Not sure if they'll have the stick you want, but worth a look given the prices.

I think Abssprint means both split rings through the eye of the hook, not chained together. That would keep the hooks from swinging around as much to get fouled with each other or rotating as much...
