SW Indiana Fishing

[JustinM]

If you walk onto the dam from the Ky side you are still in KY. You'll need a Ky non-residence license. They were $50 last year, don't know if they have gone up or not. Haven't gotten mine yet. You can fish up to the Ky. bank from a boat with an Indiana license. If you go in a creek on the Ky side you must have a Ky license. Hope this helps.....

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I figured you'd have the answer.

Don you can fish from either bank of the Ohio with an IN license. Or with a KY license. That's what the interstate reciprocal license agreement with KY allows for.

Excellent way to fish most of these lakes.

I agree, you can have alot of fun at sugar ridge or bluegrass with a float tube. Although, you can fish those places without a boat. I've caught 4 and 5lber at bluegrass from the bank, you kind of have to work at it tho, and pick off alot of ticks!

That is what I was told and saw somewhere. If I can find it I will post it.

I'll wait a couple weeks, but I think I'm going to get some kind of nice inflatable boat. What are the main types of forage fish do you guys have. Depending on lake size I'm used to bluegill and shad. Is it pretty much the same there or do you have something different.

Gizzard Shad is the main forage

I would look up Snakey Point in Oakland City. There are some nice crappie, bass, and redear. You will need a boat to get around. It is very shallow. Maybe 5 feet at the deepest point. Bluegrass will also work and there is an abundance of game fish there. The White River is also gonna be close for you. You might try it for stripers and catfish.

Picked up my Ky non-resident license yesterday and they have not raised the price. Same as last year, $50. Also purchased my Henderson boat ramp sticker. The best river ramp in this part of the country and the annual fee is only $10.

What's going to be my best chance for any of the temperate bass species from shore. If I could get on some white bass on a river from shore I would be in heaven.

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.
