Anybody fish Maxinkuckee early in the season , want to get after some small mouth and some bonus Walleye . Heard that place is loaded with them . Anybody confirm or deny that .

Went to Palestine lake the other day , graphed literal clouds of fish in the deep holes , couldnt get them to bite anything . A Rigs - Jerkbaits , Swimbaits , Dropshots , Ned Rigs , Crappie tubes . Water temp was 46-49 and stained. Finally got a few on traps in the shallow weeds . Rough day . Anybody still whacking them on the fall bite.

Went on our yearly trip to Minnesota , hooked into a 7lb giant , broke the lake record by 2 lbs . Local guy at the tackle shop said it was the biggest bass he has seen in 30 years . The lake we are fishing is the home of the state smallmouth record . People up here don’t fish for the green carp lol . They don’t know what they are missing ! Fish bit a bubba shot with a Texas fogged 10 inch brown worm . Released to make some more beautiful northern monster bass !

Anybody ever fish Wawasee for smallmouth , I have heard they they are in there but have never seen many people going after them .

Anybody ever notice a difference between catch rates of jerkbaits with feathered trebles and jerkbaits without feathered trebles .

Anybody got open water yet , major cabin fever up here in Northern Indiana

Anybody on here do much Ice fishing . I am stir crazy already since the boat got stored for the winter.

Got a few nice ones today in a small lake back home in southern Indiana . Was looking forward to the jerkbait bite as the water there is usually gin clear but as usual get to the lake and it is stained like you wouldn’t believe . Managed a few on traps and broke off a monster on a jig but all in all it was a pretty good day .

You shouldn't be to far from Indian and Celina lakes then, both are great fisheries !

Have you ever fished Bluegrass FWA , supposed to be a big bass factory

Water temps are in the low 40's up north . Air temps are in the 20's in the morning . Enjoy it while it lasts fellas . I would think ice season will be upon us before we know it .

Got on a great spinner bait bite this weekend , it was nice to mix it up and fish some ponds .

Braved the 40 MPH gusts yesterday , Caught some nice ones on a weightless trick worm in the back of protected pockets. Would have loved to fish the windy banks but 4ft waves are no ones friend.

Bass bite has been poor up in the northern part of the state too. Only way i can get a bite is to deadstick a senko on the edge of the pencil reeds and leave it there as long as I can stand it. Wont hit anything moving , nothing going on offshore either . Edges of the reed beds is the only place I can get bit. Weird for this time of year.

Got out on Lake Tippecanoe on sunday evening. Fished Deep , fished shallow , fished docks , pads , grass edges , caught zero .... Finesse , power , nothing. Anybody have any luck in the northern part of the state lately.
