I am going out Sunday....live 10 miles from Monroe......is it worth going to Patoka and driving an extra 100 miles round trip??? Convince me Thanks!

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.
Patoka is 5 feet high so that might help with your decision.
fished patoka on Monday. I didn't have a single bite. I did find a 6lber floating on the surface back in party cove. It was still alive but it's tail was stiff as if it was in a livewell all day and then released. It's skin was pretty beat up. I Tried to revive it but it was a lost cause.
I need to add that I went deer hunting for the first two hours of daylight but after I jumped some deer walking in I decided to give up on that early and just go fishing.
There was some fish hitting the surface as I was driving my boat back in the pocket to go deer hunting. I made a few cast at them but nothing hit.
I would just stay up at Monroe or better yet spend the day in the woods.
USA Bassin tournament on Saturday (0800-4:00PM-Painters Creek), so we are going to beat it up a little......
I have fished Patoka since it opened. The lake is nothing like it once was. Tournaments and the amount of boat traffic has taken it's toll. About the only decent fishing now-a-days is blue gill. Even Blue Gill size and quanity has fallen quite a bit.
I have fished Monroe a lot but not as much. I will say that Monroe still produces nice size bass. If I were 10 miles from Monroe, I would see how fast I could drive 10 miles. Good Luck
So I guess I'll head to Monroe....save some $$$...some time....and see what happens. I fished it a lot this summer and never had a great day, maybe its time for one!!! Anyone know the water temps???
Oh, they'll only be a few boats anyway....and Persinger can't catch em' so they won't be that beat up....heheheheheh!!!!!!!!
The bass fishing isn't bad at all. I am impressed every time I go it seems.I have fished Patoka since it opened. The lake is nothing like it once was.
