Decided on Patoka, need help!

Decided on Patoka after finding out the ole lady lost her job. We decided on a compromise, I didn't want to go at all, she suggested I still go!!!
Never been to Patoka though so I need some help as to where to stay, where to put in at, that kind of thing. We will be coming from S.E. Indiana.
Thanx 2 all,

I went out Last Thursday at noon , Kings bridge. Lots of small ones still fun.

I have a small boat so I have been fishing the river. Been putting in at Walls Ramp and riding up river. Osborne Ramp would be a good one too. It's shallow with a lot of stump flats. Get a map and use it to find the channels. I did outstanding one day and skunked the next. Good luck

Where is King's Bridge? I use Walls, Osborne, and Painter's Creek. But have no idea where that is. I know that there is a ramp farther up river and don't know the name.

There is a primitive ramp at Kings bridge. Sort of hard to tell someone how to get there but you should be able to bring it up on Google earth.

Now for the fishing. I was from Walls to above Kings today and all we managed were dinks too. Best fish was a 15 inch white bass. That is the area I would send you to as the water is pretty shallow and the channel is easy to follow. Be forwarned,,,,there are trees everywhere. You definately need a map.
If you are looking for a motel the closest is Lanes in West Baden. There are also lots of cabins around the lake.
Crappies and bass would be the two species I would target right now. Good luck.

If ya put in at walls and run up river you will run into kings bridge. As far as gettin to the ramp. Take Brownstown road north out od English and it will run you right into it. I thnk Brownstown turns into ethyl road at some point. brownstown road is the 1st rd on the right as soon as you cross hwy 37 in English. Its concidered upper walls and youngs creek. hope this helps.
