[BoilermakerFan]

Another fisherman from Indiana here...

I live down in the Southewestern corner of the state in Evansville in the land of reclaimed strip mine pits!   

My parent's property even ends at the edge of one of these well-stocked ol' pits, so I don't have to go far to catch fish.  Their neighborhood also has a fishing pond so it makes it easy for my mom to take her granddaugther fishing. 

[Lipripper]

Welcome again BoilermakerFan and glad you let us know a little about yourself.  Sounds lik eyou got some good fishing holes close by 

[DAWG]

Welcome again there Boilermaker.You are just accross the river from L-ville not for from me .

[BoilermakerFan]

Thanks guys!

I'm an hour and 45 minutes west of Louisville, but my company is HQ'd in Louisville so I'm there at least every other week.

Planning to buy a set of chest waders and a two or three piece rod to keep in the trunk of the car.  There are a few nice parks in the Louisville area with fishing ponds.  Just have t buy the KY out-of-state license first!

[Mike Cork]

I used to love to get out and wade for bass, I always thought there was nothing better than fighing a big ole bass and then have it go between your legs  but then I moved to Louisiana and there as just a few to many critters in the water around here with big ole teeth

[BoilermakerFan]

Picked up a Shakespere UL IM6 rod and a reel (but I don't remember the model) today at the WM in Vincennes today.  Spooled it up with 4lb mono, but will switch it over to a non-braided superline in the future.  Also picked up a few new lures since they had lures my local stores don't carry.  I'll post a review later after I get some more time with the rig.

[Mike Cork]

Looking forward to your review BoilermakerFan   Keep us posted

[BoilermakerFan]

Will do!

Here are the 9 states we still need:

Hawaii, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Wyoming.

We are getting so close.

[Mike Cork]

It's going to be very tough to get someone from Hawii but we thought that about Alsaska too and look at SilverSalmon  awesome supporter

Let's keep pushing it won't be long now

[BoilermakerFan]

I'm surprised that nobody from Iowa is on the board.  Years ago I sold in that state and they have some serious bass fishing! 

[Fishaholic]

BoilermakerFan...you fish Sullivan? dynamite for big bass in the Fall...Lake of the Seven Springs isn't far from you either, that's where the State record bass of 14lbs, 12 ozs. was caught...Deams Lake in New Albany area is good too...and let's not forget the mighty Little Blue River loaded with smallies!

[BoilermakerFan]

I haven't made it up to Sullivan, it's just out of my sales territory and it's hard to get that far away on a weekend.  I'll have to find a customer in Vincennes that fishes it and make it a "sales call."   

The Little Blue River?  Or the Blue River?  We canoe the Blue River, but the Little Blue River is more like a ditch and is almost dry during the summer.  I haven't fished the Blue though, always doing other things  when canoeing it with friends...  I'm actually trying to organize a canoe trip for customers on the Blue this Fall since the weather didn't cooporate this Spring

I pass Deams Lake all the time when I drive from Louisville up to Salem along US 60.  Then I pass Patoka on the way home to Evansville.  There are some good lakes north of Tell City (just south of I-64) in the Hoosier Nat. Forrest too.  I'm ten minutes away from Blue Grass FWA and 40 minutes from Hovey Lake FWA.

[A.M.]

I'm in Chattanooga, TN..........Which is southeast tn.........Lower right hand corner......i'm in very good place that requires hardly any travel to get to some good  well known lakes......Dale Hollow, Guntersville, Nickajack........Anyways, howdy......

[Mike Cork]

Howdy back atcha A.M. definately glad to have you on the site. You are near some very popular fishing waters that have great reputations  Looking forward to your inputs on all the great topics we have going on around here.

Do you belong to a bass club?

[A.M.]

I'm not a member of any local bass clubs yet....i do fish alot of the little dog fight tourneys they have here tho.....we do have one here tho and i'm not for sure but i think it was the first bass club formed anywhere....Its the chattanooga bass association....but they are kinda stuck up so thats why i never joined them lol....

[silversalmon]

No worries of findin anyone like that round here, and just so yous know, Mike and Noble were in a tourney and came in third yesterday

[Mike Cork]

A.M. unfortunately some clubs get to tight nit and it becomes very hard for someone new to get in. If you are interested you will find the right one before long. Can you do us a favor and spread the word about the site at your dog fights We would love to get more folks from your area  By the way do we have the lakes listed in your state in the fishing reports section

[Lambo]

I'm form the big state of Iowa.
