Hello Indiana bass chasers. I live on the NE side of Indianapolis. I am looking for new water to fish. I fish a small farm pond in Hamilton county, some neighborhood ponds. I am a bank fisherman for now as I do not have a boat. Just looking for some input from fellow Hoosiers on best bank fishing opportunities. I am willing to drive to get to spots. Thank you Randy

Hey hoosiers. I am looking for some banks to walk as I am a non boater. I live in the Indianapolis area on the NE side. Really looking for some new water to fish. I fish one farm pond in Hamilton County that simply doesnt produce, and some neighborhood ponds around. Any help would be appreciated. I am willing to drive as well to get on some good water. Thx Randy

Thank you ck13fish and trick worms. Looks like i have more research to do! Rand

Thank you ataris41 and ww2farmer. I appreciate the input. Rand

Thanks Mosster47. Trick Worms I don't need 2 rods if i could find one to handle both.

I am looking for a rod for toads and another for hollow body frogs. Hit me with some ideas. I am trying to save $ but def need something for each technique unless yall have one rod in mind! South of $200 for sure. I know this limits me but that's where I'm at Thx Randy

Great replies guys. Thanks for the info. All is much appreciated. Awesome to get such response.

Right on guys. Much appreciated. I have a Dobyns 765 Flip paired with a Revo SX and PowerPro braid that I am hoping to give a workout.

My loacl lake, Geist Reservoir, has gotten steadily more weeds over the years. I was thinking of attempting to punch this year. What punch weights, stops, baits, etc do you use? I am looking to buy some but I don't know where to start. Thx Rand

Big-O phenomenal catches as per usual. The places you fish make where I fish on the regular look like a joke. You're a fantastic angler obviously and you are fortunate to fish some amazing fisheries

Thanks for the info b well. Much appreciated.

Thanks nice_bass. Do you think Newton is doable with just trolling motor on a 10' jon boat. Or should I pony up for a small outboard (which I've been putting off) Rand

Still no one knows whether I can use the outboard @ the ramp for Newton. Rand

Anyone with info on whether or not I can use outboard at the ramp? Rand

Can I use my outboad, 50HP Merc, to put the boat on and off the trailer at Lake Newton?

Anyone feeling a Lake Newton trip?

I live in Indy. I fish mostly @ Geist, Morse. I travel to Waveland, Patoka, Monroe now and again. I am looking to make a trip to Lake Newton this winter at some point. Hit me up if you are interested in fishing with me. My go to fishing partner has kid #2 on the way so he will be limited. I also fish some walkable "private" locales in the summer evenings. Rand

Thanks for all the replies gents. I will pass on the info. Rand

My cousin is looking to get a rod for cranks and topwater baits. Yet he only uses spinning rigs. I know backwards right. Anyways he has a gift card to Cabela's he is wanting to use. I told him I would do some recon. Any help would be appreciated. Rand

Lets just make it known here when we are planning a trip then. I will prob be covered up til the beginning of December with work. Rand

Cool. Let me know if you ever need a co angler. I would prob be rolling solo from Indy. Rand

Thanks for the update bwell.

Thanks Crockus. Will look into it. Rand

Newton has always pretty legit. I am chomping at the bit. Rand

I live in Indianapolis. This winter I am going to make a trek to Illinois to fish a power plant lake. I would like to stay within the 3 hour drive time. Any Illinois residents fish power plant lakes in state. If I am going to make the drive I would like it to be to a productive body of water. Thanks ahead of time Rand
