Thread: Anyone have luck on Patoka?

I always give up on walleye about mid june may is usually best

I know a guy that PULLS jigging raps in the summer and does really good.

I went up there in the ice a few years back and it was a little wild made sure I stayed close to the bank. I was in an old fishing boat. I actually caught a few fish.

Patoka problems can be summed up in one word,,,,,,,SHAD!

10 bucks a day or 66.00 for a yearly pass.

I really don't understand why DNR has to drain this lake as its giving up tons of quality fish in the crappie, catfish, and large catches of nice largemouth bass too...but they have their reasons. I know of several people that fish this lake and enjoy it other than summer its full of pleasure boaters, but what lake isn't? And you have the campgrounds there as well,,all run by the city of Loogootee.

Last time I was at Boggs they charged me 15 dollars. Maybe they seen me comeing and thought they needed to charge more to let me in. I like the lake but can fish Glendale cheaper and it is closer.

I just checked with a friend that occasionally bass fishes it..and your right cause they charge 5.00 bucks to get into the park,,then 10 to launch,,so its 15 total. I never anymore fish it cause I don't like the fees either. Here is their website for the fees.

I thought that maybe they seen me comeing. then said if this guy is getting in he is paying extra.
