SW Indiana Fishing

[HoosierDon]

You can easily fish Bluegrass or any of the pits around out of either the john or the canoe. I definately would NOT reccommend either for the river. I have seen canoes in the river but I personally would not attempt it. I'm not sure how stable it would be in heavy boat traffic. Little Pigeon and Cypress creeks, in Warrick County would be possibilities also........

Only six weeks til I cross the Mississippi and head to Indiana. I've secured the use of a 10' john boat and canoe. Are there any other spots this opens up for me. Also when do the bluegill start spawning around there. I'm really looking forward to that.

Theres quite a few places you might want to try out.. indiana dnr website has a where to fish finder page. http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3591.htm that will give a good idea of what we have, plus theres a ton a pits around this area.

With a 10' jon I'd keep a eye on the weather if you're fishing bluegrass. The lake lays north to south with nothing to block it. It doesn't take much for it to white cap.

As far as ticks go I only use Repel with Permanone. It's for clothing only. If you're going to be throwing from the bank that's what I'd use.

With so many little backwoods pits, how is the pressure on a lot of them. Do many people bother with them. Or do the larger reservoirs attract most people.
