Striped Bass Fishing Tip

Techniques used for striped bass fishing will depend on where you are fishing for them. If you are striper fishing in a lake, you want to fish the deepest waters possible. Trolling is one of the most effective ways to catch these fish. Live baits, such as shad, shiners, and eels will probably be you best bet. If you want to use lures, make sure you use one of the deep diving types.
Surf fishing is one of the most popular styles of striped bass fishing. For this, you'll need a long surf fishing rod, probably around 12' in length. Before you begin, chumming the water will help to bring the bigger fish in close. In this type of area, clams and mullet are good choices for bait. When casting, try to get your bait beyond the third or fourth wave.
No matter where you fish for striped bass, there is the possibility of landing huge fish. Some of these fish can get up to four feet long. For the avid bass angler, this type of fishing can offer them a new and exiting challenge. 

Fish of Indiana:   This is a small book that's easy to fit in your tackle box. The pages are all water proof so no need to worry if it gets wet. The book does have every fish that's swims in Indiana, with photo's, descriptions, Indiana state records, spawning areas and things like that. So, what kind of fish is that ??  Your answer is right here !! I just happened to stumble across these at a very good price. We can get these for $10.70 plus sales tax = $10.70 per book. That is a savings of almost $4.00 off the retail price. Anyone that wants one can pay by pay-pal, money order, or check. Indiana Info  PO Box 1270  Martinsville, Indiana  46151    More info at

                    Take a Kid Fishing      http://www.patokaguides.com/Index.aspx 

  If you know of a child that does not have a parent or legal guardian that is able to take them fishing , that would like to go out on Monroe Reservoir in a Boat and learn a little about fishing , have them contact J & R at 812-275-6145.

   I plan on taking two at a time for about two hours each trip . There will be two adults onboard to supervise each child . There is a liability release form that will need to be signed by a legal guardian of the child . There are alot of children that will never get the chance to experience a fishing trip on a boat out on a lake . Maybe we can change that a little for a few anyway . I will try to have these trips start by next week . Have the Childs legal parent or guardian to call to set up an appointment . The child will need to have transportation to the boat ramp and be able to be picked up on time .

There will be no charge for this children's trip . Everthing will be included . Compliments of J & R Guide Service .

DNR News/Events
Yellowwood Lake
Yellowwood State Forest: Beginning in late June we will lower the lake by 8.5 feet to allow us to continue the dredging project at the north end of the lake. Beginning around July 15 dry dredging at the north end will continue from where we left off in 2008. By October 1 we will stop the project and the lake will be allowed to fill completely. Additional fishing structures will be added to the lake bed before the lake fills.

In 2010 we will grade out the silt pile and reshape a new elevated campground. New grills and tables will be installed. Playground equipment and toilets will be installed and the area will be open again for camping in the fall of 2010.

Jackson-Washington State Forest: Knob Lake has returned to normal pool and has been stocked with fingerling bass, bluegill and redear. Also, beginning June 17, 2009, the historic fire tower will be disassembled and lowered in 4 to 5 sections for much needed rehabilitation. New boards, fencing and paint are planned for the tower. Completion is anticipated sometime this fall.
