Have you heard of a blog site smallmouthinyoursoup? He's a real river fishing nut...fishes the White river somewhere around Indy. A lot of great info here.

Hey Nash, To tell the truth, I've never fished the river this early in the spring. Usually, we like to watch for signs of crayfish (crawdads) and fish similar lures. I always like jigs with a grub or mister twister tail. How about you?

My brother and I hit the White near Muncie a few weeks ago...nut'n! Talked to guy that fishes the river a lot and he hasn't been catching anything either. Once the water goes back down, I'll be back at it. Felt good to stretch the line though.

My fishing buddy lost his boat anchor...2 weeks later we were on a different lake and I snagged a rope...pulled it up and it was attached to a better anchor than he'd lost. Keep hoping some day I'll snag a cooler full of beer.

Buckeye1955, Finding the smaller HP lakes sounds like good advice. We went snow skiing in VT 2 winters ago and the whole trip I was scoping out all the beautiful streams and lakes and wondering about the fishing. Lake Champlain sounds awesome, unfortunately it would be a 16-17 hr drive for us. (By the way...I got into kayak river fishing with my brother last spring and got hooked on it. Might have to buy my own now.) "...football fish! plump, round, and happy to eat a tube bait anytime!" hahaha...I like the sound of that.

Thanks for the info everyone. Spring can't get here soon enough. little_stephen, Can you believe my sister and her husband lived right near Sandusky for years and even though I visited several times, I never got any fishing in up there. Now they've gone and moved to OK.

Hey Everyone, My buddy and I are from Indiana, but would like to try fishing some in Ohio this summer...any suggestions? We catch-and-release, and would LOVE to find a body of water where we don't get swamped by powerboaters and jet skis. Thanks for any tips. (Awesome site here.)
