Indiana Info Fishing Reports
Summit lake Fishing Report: Lots and lots of dink bass being caught. A few perch being taken. Lots of good carp being taken accidentally by catfish anglers on night crawlers.
Monroe reservoir Fishing Report: Walleye fishing has been good. You can find the walleye in and around bluegill beds. A good bite for channel catfish. A few good blue cats and flatheads being caught. Night crawlers seem to be bait of choice. A few reports of some walleye being caught drifting the flats.
Martinsville City Park Fishing Report: A few nice flatheads being caught. Lots of dink bluegill and crappie.
White river Fishing Report: Some nice smallmouth being caught. A good mix of fish have been biting. Channel cats, carp and bluegill on the bite. At Williams Dam they are catching sauger and channel cats. They are also catching a few sauger at the dam north of Martinsville.
Patoka Lake Fishing Report: Bluegill are on the bite. Crickets, red worms, and bee moth. A good bite for channel catfish using shrimp, shad guts, night crawlers and cut bait.
Brookville reservoir Fishing Report: An excellent bite for channel catfish. A few walleye being taken, and the bluegill bite is good.
Dogwood lake Fishing Report: Warm May days mean things are about to pick up for area fishermen and they have.
"The bluegill have turned on," announced Jimmy McCormick at the Bait Bucket in Evansville. "We can't keep a cricket in the house. But I don't think it matters what you use. We're selling a lot of red worms and superworms, too."
That means any area fishing hole that has bluegill in it will be improving greatly in the next couple weeks as the fish move into the shallows and begin spawning activity for the first time this season.
Area farm ponds and stripper pits will be offering some of the best fishing of the year.
Farm Ponds Fishing Report: Area ponds and strip pits in the Greene-Sullivan are reporting a good bluegill bite. Bluegill are on, or near the beds depending on weather conditions. A good top water bite for bass. Buzz baits and Pop R's are catching the fish.
Ohio river Fishing Report: Fishing this past week was slowed due to high water levels. Prior to this, hybrid striped bass (many over 25-inches) were hitting on twister tails, flukes, and Rapalas. The best areas for fishing are in the tailwater sections near the dams. Catfish were being caught on cutbait and some artificial bait. Skipjacks were also being taken at the dam and along the walkway. Water temperature is at 66 degrees.
Additional trout releases scheduled for area streams
Additional trout will be stocked in four northern Indiana streams by the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife before Memorial Day weekend.
The Pigeon River (Steuben and LaGrange counties) will be stocked at County Road 175 North and at County Line Road. Turkey Creek (LaGrange County) will be stocked at County Road 150 North. These stream crossings are located on the Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area. The trout stockings schedules for the Little Elkhart River (Elkhart County) will take place at the Bonneyville Mill County Park. The Little Kankakee River (LaPorte County) will be stocked with additional trout at County Road 100 South.
Although these stream sites will be the only areas to receive additional trout in May, fish from the initial releases in late April are still available in most of northern Indiana's trout streams. Although anglers fishing the more remote areas continue to report good catches, the DNR's practice of providing additional stockings at a few sites, which began in 1990, provides a bonus and extends trout-fishing opportunities.
Good Fishing Everyone ! Just get out and go !!
