If you have the situation to catch a state record fish I recommend having a tub made with proper aeration for when you do catch that fish. My buds mom caught the state record largemouth in Indiana like 10yrs ago. It went ~15lbs , which is stupid big for anywhere close to Indiana considering a...

tackleunderground.com I don't know much about soft plastics. I do know that you can melt down zoom and stuff in the microwave in a pyrex glass. You can also make molds from a variety of materials including rtv silicon and plaster of paris (POP). But check out the website. I'm strictly a...

I normally fish a jig and craw real slow... Something like a paca or chigger craw put off a lot of action with little movement. It seems to work pretty good for me. But yeah, when your fishing slow enough to really feel the bottom and make a mental picture... then slow down even more. Its...

Sounds good. Yeah, weather doesn't look so good for a while. We'll keep in touch.

Crap. I'm sorry for the way my last post read guys. After seeing cbrimhall's post I realized how rude my last post could come across. I actually meant that if someone was going fishing (in their boat) and could use a non-boater (myself) I'd be down and that I wouldn't mind chipping in on gas...

Well I checked out Triangle. Lake levels seem normal just at first glance. Lots of docks and weeds coming out to about 16-18ft of water. However, I only managed to catch 2 small bass on a weightless senko. I checked out the area where the river drains... lots of nice rocks mixed with weeds...

Dang it. I had an 8" soft trout. I lost it a munsel the other day. I totally here ya though! Its awesome when your bluegill fishing and one smokes it! Lord how I miss real tackle shops! Everything is a freakin fly shop around here! I'm close to being out of senkos too! Might have to...

Any word on whether triangle lake's ramp is accessible? I was thinking about going after some largemouths in a couple days. I find it very hard to find lake level information in this state. All of Indiana's reservoirs are on the USGS site. I found very little offered for Oregon. Is there a...

I'm not sure about the life cycle of American shad, but in Indiana we have non-native gizzard shad. When I was working in Indiana for the DNR (dept. of natural resources) as a fisheries assistant we had a first had look at how devastating gizzard shad can be. In one of my final lake reports, a...

Sutton was disappointing to say the least. Managed one 13" bass and had a few other bites. Good looking lake though. I took out around noon today grabbed some grub and tried my luck at munsel. I had similar results; however, I was catching some nice trout... on a pointer jerkbait! Right off...

I debated it, if I had my rubber boots I might have given it a try. It was mushy even before you got near the water. It might have been a fun slide down to the water! Does anyone know anything about sutton lakes near florence? I'm debating on going out there and giving it a try tomorrow...

Well it seems that I wasted my time trying ollala... I showed up at the ramp early this morning... looked over the edge and there lay the water... 50ft below. The lake looks interesting, since I could see half of it. Lots of stumps it seems.

Ahh you are right! Google earth showed the road ended just before. Well appreciate the info guys! I'm off to the lake! I'll give a report this evening.

One last question about ollala. Is the ramp located off ollala road? It doesn't seem to stand out on google earth. Thanks!

Very cool fishty! I might just have to check it out. I read its a city park... Is there a special permit required? Reason why I ask is that city and county lakes in Indiana charge anywhere from 14-30 bucks per launch just to fish fish one day, or you have to buy a city lake permit (about 30...
