jitterbug127 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Thanks for the response! I am primarily a kayak fisherman, and I like going up and down the river for smallies. Waverly is my primary put in and ill venture down to Henderson Ford from time to time. I just got a Jon boat, so I'm excited to have multiple boats to fish from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting on my new Old Town AP 120 to show up. Planning on a great deal of White River fishing and always looking for a fishing partner.

I’ve never fished any clubs or anything like that, but I’m always willing to try something. As far as fishing goes that sounds great, always nice to have someone to go out with! I am fairly new to this stretch of river, so it will be a fun year to learn. I’m hoping to put my 16’ Jon in the river, but it was so shallow last fall I kept getting stuck on my yak. I might get one of those mud skipper motors for it. Think it would be perfect though there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohoosiers09 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Well I hit the bank today was like 50 some degrees today in Fort Wayne and I got skunked. I wasn’t shocked, new place and I don’t believe it’s quite time to hit it hard yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread doesn't have the participation that it used to. I'm as guilty as anyone for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipzLipz Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I've not been regularly posting in here either. Have been out three times so far this year, one Sunday in Feb, then the following Sat & Sun right after a hard Friday night rain where we got 1.5-2" overnight. First trip out, I caught 5-6 under 2lbs & lost a 5-6 lber at the boat at a small public reservoir. The following weekend after the big rain the small reservoir was chocolate milk at the upper end & had leaves floating all around the best stretches which would have needed a 1-2oz punch weight to get through but cleared off near the lower end of the lake, where we caught all of our fish. Caught 7-8 under 2lbs, no big ones. Next day went to a private strip pit over near Terre Haute & the only bite we got was a 4-13 that my step son caught & up to this point is his PB. All fish were caught on 1/2 oz. Dirty Jigs flipping jigs with Rage Bug trailers. Pic of the 4-13: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipzLipz Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Made another trip over to the strip pit early Sunday afternoon & upon arrival, was a bit breezy & water was stained from the 3-4" of rain we got over the previous few days & nights. Water temps still cold to the touch. Started out throwing a 1/2oz jig getting a bite & drop in the first dozen or so casts. No more takers so after hitting a few key areas, I switched to a bluegill colored chatterbait with a paddletail Keitech trailer. Still no takers. Threw out a white & chartreuse single Colorado blade spinnerbait with a Zoom twin tail grub trailer & had this 5-5 beauty absolutely crush it right off the end of a laydown in about 5 FOW. She also had a bluegill tail just barely sticking out of her gullet - gluttonous hog, but that’s the way we like ‘em, don’t we? My dad had a smaller fish on a spinnerbait as well but it came unbuttoned. I only saw the head of it & was guessing it was probably under 3lbs. Only 3 bites for the day but always worth the trip when the bigger gals are hungry. Overall the fishing was slow but the big gals are chewing right now, which is why I love fishing this time of year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipzLipz Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Went back to the same strip pit Sunday afternoon - was a bit windy but manageable. Dad wasn't in the mood for waiting so one lap around the place was all I got in this time. Had 2 bites on a jig but both were dropped before I could set the hook. Water didn't feel much warmer. Friday night storms probably still had them turned off. Probably wasn't on the water for much more than 2 hours. Warmer weather coming this week & I expect to see fish on beds before the end of the month if the 10 day forecasted temps hold true. Haven't had a chance to get back to the public lake an hour south of me yet. Will be the first year I've fished it the whole year - will be interesting to see how the fish behave & when & where they spawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipzLipz Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Wind, rain & cooler temps didn’t keep me indoors for long. Got out Sunday on the public lake with my son dragging jigs once again. More males moved up shallow & water temps were warmer than air temps. Managed 12 to 15 fish total with the kid catching the biggest of the day, a nice fat 4-12 off of a shallow rocky flat: My dad & I returned the next afternoon & managed another 15 with me catching a nice fatty that went 4 even. Cooler weather seemed to delay the rush to the shallows a bit. More small males than previous outings but no sightings of beds nor irritated tails. My bet is the next full moon will be it. They’re close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
