The Bassman Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Big weather pattern change coming Thur. Can't speak for northern IN lakes but small neighborhood lakes in central IN have been picking up. Hopeful the big shift will really get things going. Too early for turnover. Quote

I hooked a toad and he jumped and threw my frog. I can still see it perfectly a few feet above the water. Anyone else fish bluegrass? Live about 20 minutes away. Never have fished it. Really want to though. Quote
Eric86 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 I fish it out of a kayak. It isn't the easiest but it's all I have for now. It would be hard to bank fish. If you have a boat you should be able to catch a few at least. My best out of there so far is 4 lbs but I haven't fished it too much. Quote

Eric86 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Bluegrass, more specifically loon pit. Not sure what you are asking about referencing. Just saying it would be hard to fish it from the bank because it's only clear for a small section. 11 hours ago, Alan Reed said: What are you referencing? Quote
CroakHunter Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Anybody have an idea on water temps? Or a website to check water temps near me? I tried to fins temps for patoka but they were from early october before the cold snap. Headed out Sunday to either bluegrass or an awesome private pit Quote

CroakHunter Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Oir biggest one of the morning. Hitting all moving baits. Cant get one to eat a jig! Cold 4 wheeler ride in 30 degree weather. But water temps are around 60 degrees 1 Quote

CroakHunter Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 We were very cold riding the wheelers to our first pit. This fish was the first of the day. They were still hitting the whopper plopper fairly well before the sun fully came out. Quote
LxVE Bassin Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 I heard that west side bait and tackle is closing. It’s must be hard running a bait and tackle shop. I’ll be sad to see them go. Quote

Geist was 50 down by the dam and 48-49 in the creek yesterday. Shafer was 47-49 over the weekend. Quote
BigBassLoveSenkos Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Where has @IndianaFinessebeen? Quote
Cole Richards Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 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. 1 Quote
The Bassman Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I've been doing good in the smaller lakes I fish. High temps in the 30's will keep me off the water for a few days though. I'm betting on a warm up before Thanksgiving. 1 Quote
The Bassman Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Follow up to last post. We made it into the 40's today which is normal for mid Dec. but was really pretty pleasant after two cold mornings. I got out this afternoon for a couple of hours and action was real steady. No bigs but lots of fun size on a 3" sticko ned rigged on a 1/32 oz. Owner blockhead. I've settled on these as the best MWF heads out there. Anyone else getting out? I'm trying to keep this thread alive. We must have lost @frostywho was always posting. 2 Quote

The fishing wasn’t great but certainly better than sitting at home. 1 Quote
IndianaOutdoors Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 I was out on Sunday. Only catch was on the ned in a about 15 feet of water as I was trolling back to the ramp. 1 Quote
BigBassLoveSenkos Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 I've gotten out a few times in the past week and caught em on a swim jig reeled really slowly on a rocky bottom. Ned has worked as well. I agree with @The Bassman on those owner blockheads. Sharp, strong hooks! Quote
Alan Reed Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Fishing a fun tournament Sunday morning up on Geist. Looks like it’s going to be a chilly start. 1 Quote

Last Sunday, we caught em in the area just East of the Olio Road bridge and in the back of coves with a creek running in. Bait was looking smaller than usual for this time of year. Neds, pointer 78s, and 3 to 4 inch keitechs worked for us. Good luck! Quote

No one found anything huge. It wasn’t nearly as cold as what they predicted so that was certainly welcoming in the morning. Certainly way better than being stuck inside. Quote
