Thread: Indian Lake 2018

Out this morning till around 11am,five saugeye landed two were keepers along with a 20 inch cat not a bad morning. Water temp was 69-71 deg, wind was a little tough at times but not bad as well . A lot of fishermen and ladies as well as a few pleasure boaters on the water so be safe everyone as the holiday weekend is coming up.

Tried Indian (6/6/2018)from nine am till about noon with my wife but it was a bust as it really showed that Logan county got more rain than Champaign as the eastern part of the lake was muddy and even Blackhawk looked bad. Water temp was 67-71 and if nothing else we got to check out a few more spots around the lake.

Tried Indian this morning and got out on the water early (6:20) and to say it was S L O W is an understatement to say the least. We had two boat, three people and the other boat landed one dink , lost one coming to their boat that was a dink as well ( they left at 10:30)and I got skunked but enjoyed the water. So not all was lost !!! Water temp 77-78 deg. and a little windy.

Heading up Tuesday morning(7/3) and takeing my daughterinlaws dad who is a first responder,if you see my blue tracker 175 say Hi. Will be posting conditions later in the day.

Not a bad morning with daughter-in-law's dad as we lost one nice saugeye (must have been 28" ) 11in white bass, 11 3/4 crappie, and two nice cats ( 10 n 14in) . First fish close to the boat had a sweat towel and sun glasses so the next time one of us looses our worm rag or sun specs, their not lost at all and being put to use ! Water temp 85 -87deg,precooked fish !!!!

Out this morning from 6:45 till about 12:30 with a water temp of 76-78 deg. so it was a little cooler than nine days ago. All we landed were two nice cats a lot of fish were marked but as school is out for the kids so it must be for the fish. Will try again next week here and or at CJ Brown , just hope we get some rain as we need it.

Out with the wife for a few hours(9:30-11:30) this morning no fish but had a good time. Saw a few crappie cought under a bridge and reconized on boat and the captin said it had been realy tough today and I relpied like the last few weeks and he agreed. Water 77-81deg no real wind and few boats till lunch time so I too the wife to Acheson's Resort for a good sandwich. (dash pic from Blackhawk canal area)

Downtime, I have a older tracker 05' with the 50hp 2 stroke, had the 3 carbs rebuilt soon after I bought it $600 and it runs and starts well, but I will tell you the best thing I have done is to run pure gasoline in the boat (no gas station junk) it cost a couple more dollars a gallon, but in my opinion money well spent. The gasoline today is not good with any engine that sits idle for long periods of time, I use pure gas in my log spliter, boat snow blower etc..
