My uncle asked me to take him fishing this weekend and I said I would if I do go. I usually stay away from the water on Memorial and Labor Day weekend but I thought what the heck? My uncle has very limited fishing experience if any at all. I am a strictly bass fisherman. The lightest equipment I have are a couple of med/light spinning rods that I use for drop shot and shakey head. I need some inputs as to where and how to put him on some panfish. I am thinking somewhere with a big idle zone, plenty of room to get away from the pleasure boaters and the crowd. Somewhere with decent bass fishing without going to the main lake when I'm tired of watching bobber. It needs to be within 1-1.5 hours from Indy. Geist, Morse, Eagle Creek, Waveland are definetely out of the question. The only two places that come to mind right now are Monroe and Raccoon. What do you guys think?
