Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 26, 2015 Super User Share Posted December 26, 2015 With the new update (which I really like) there is no longer a "friends" function, but now a new "following" function instead. Before the update I was friends with as many of the members who are from or live in Indiana as possible. I attempt to keep up with the local happenings and folks here on the form who are also Hoosiers. They offer relevant fishing information and news of local happenings and goings on. So where are those Hoosier members? I know there are plenty of you on these boards besides me! Feel free to post here with anything going on in the state, and where you guys are whacking those fish at of course! As for me, I'm from the Central part of the State, West of Indianapolis. Catch most of my fish out of small lakes and creeks by the house, always nice to be within a 5 minute drive of the house! I do get out and about and fish Racoon and Eagle Creek from time to time, although not as often as I'd like anymore. Hopefully that will change next year. Happy Holidays Hoosier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Team9nine Posted January 1, 2016 Super User Share Posted January 1, 2016 100 views in and it looks like the Hoosier guys have abandoned you LOL. Same side of town and same basic waters as you, though mostly the area reservoirs. -T9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish there were more good places to shop. Gander Mt is ok, Cabela's in Noblesville is nice, but needs a tad more inventory, and all DSG around here blow. Usually have to go to small places an hour or two out of the way to find any decent fishing inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeshots Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Not a Hoosier, but I do fish Lake Shafer and the Tippecanoe for a few miles north a couple weekends a year. Just wondering if anybody has had much luck there. We generally manage a few small ones but the boat traffic is absolutely brutal. Try to fish the shorelines and you're getting battered into them by the wake. Only chance is back in the offshoots/coves which generally get a ton of fishing pressure. Maybe I need to get out there during the week... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyD007 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yep, I'm from the Brazil area and the Academy in Terre Haute has been open about a month. Several purchases already made. Have my own private 12 acre lake so if you are close try to contact me. Gathering xmas trees to sink when ice gets on. They have been productive for me the past few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick B Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I grew up in Fairland, Indiana , fished a lot of lakes, creeks and farm ponds as a kid. When I come back home I try to fish Sugar Creek, Big Blue River, or Geist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, when you are down that way, they're are some good small lakes/large ponds at camp Aterburry you might try and fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I waded it at a park in Shelbyville, but that was a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives in the central part of the state as well. He did say there is some good fishing in Warsaw if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neocrunch Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Checking in from just north of Muncie. My goals for the year include: 1. Exploring more of the state. I moved to central Indiana about 8 years ago and I tend to stick close to home (Summit Lake, Mississinnewa Reservoir and Salamonie Reservoir, and the White river). I'd like to hit some of the other waters the state has to offer. 2. Investing in a nice kayak and getting involved in some of the regional kayak fishing tournaments this year. 3. Remaining happily married while doing 1 and 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyerbassman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm up here in Dyer, which is the northwest top of Indiana. A lot of local ponds and lakes to fish nearby. Willow Slough is only an hour south and one of my favorite places to get out on the boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen much of you on these boards recently, you're also on Indiana Angler, right? I remember seeing some post from you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
