Feb 1 - List public waterways and state

[Jared LeBlue]

Chicot Lake, located near Ville Platte Louisiana. Use to be one of my favorite places to fish. I liked it in the spring and soft platics were the key. Now they just need to drain it and make it a hunting reserve.

Heres one of the Kitty-Katters.....Try out the Ouachita River north of Monroe, Louisiana. Go to the Alabama landing. Big ole cats on trot-lines baited with dog food scented with anise oil. Lots of great memories with my Grand-dad......I have a story for another time about a gar and a boat paddle, lets just say that ooopps up side your head.....Gotta go cook supper, be back a little later.....Dave

Lake Wawasee, Indiana

Lake Wawasee is the largest natural lake in Indiana, it has excellent bass fishing all year long, I prefer to work the channels that the cottages are on in late May for hungry bass that choose to enter the channels looking to make a meal out of the hordes of sunfish that inhabit the channels...I use large spinner baits and cranks in the channels,
you can also fish the deep flats in front of the seminary for some giant pike.

Lake Chicot, different from the first one, this one is located in Arkansas and is a great fishery, at least it was the last few times I went. I like fishing there in the fall. Top waters and rattle traps are deadly there.

Kentucky Lake, Kentucky, great crappie lake year around

Caddo Lake LA use the Shady Launch this lake is well known for lunkers, I like to fish this on warm calm summer nights, with black blue spinnerbait around any grass banks or anyone of the many many cypress trees, its also know for a good jig bite on windy fall days.

The wabash river in Indiana fishing beeteal spins for blue gills in the spring time when they ar beeding. Don't keep them but they are fun to catch

August and September you'll have the river to yourself, cast a 1/4 oz. rooster tail for some excellent native brown trout, this one is tough to beat.

[Fishaholic]

St. Joseph River, Michigan

Excellent steelhead and smallmouth fishing where the river is closest to Indiana and excellent walleye and smallmouth fishing in the further north sections near the dam.

Wacky worms and texas-rigged tubes are your best bet for bass from Late June through October.

[Mike Cork]

In the rules it states that you don't have to have fished the lake. Of course it will make it hard to qualify for the bonus but at least you get in the drawing for the rest of the stuff. Post lakes and states from where ever you've been or search them up, maybe even and atlas

[getthenet]

Wordons R.I. anytime........you have rocks, weeds, runoffs, dropoffs, islands, etc.
