Patoka Lake Indiana

[raporter]

Good lake. I live in E-town and when I was 10-12 years old my dad and I would go there every weekend and camp out and fish for bluegill. This lake use to have some monster bluegill in it. It would be nothing to go out and catch 60 or more 9, 10 and 11 inch shellcrackers. If I remember correctly my dad and I caught over 10 shellcrackers 12" long in 2 years. I'm thirty now and those were the good old days.

The shad destroyed the gill and redear fishery. Sad.
