I don't understand all of the complaining about Indiana being such a horrible place to fish. I don't even have a boat, and my dad and I always seem to find places where we catch a lot of fish. We've only been fishing 3 times this year and have already caught 192 crappie (all but maybe 3 or 4 at least 10 inches), 2 rainbow trout, 4 walleye, 1 carp, 2 stripers, several perch and catfish, and a couple largemouth bass. Those were all caught while crappie fishing. We also have a couple places we go to where we can catch 20 largemouths apiece in just a few hours, all keepers, if we want to. These aren't even farm ponds that we fish, they are well known lakes. So I guess I just don't see why so much crying about the fishing.
