Boy did you see the gut on that thing..nice big fish also..
It's been so long since I've fished those Indiana river creeks, I've honestly forgot all about them. I used to fish them back in late 70's and early 80's. I used to like Hogans. I used to catch a lot of bass in the mouth of that creek. Isn't there a launch ramp in the mouth of Hogan's, maybe behind a Shell Station or something like that. It had a little box you had to put a few bucks in as a fee. We used to spend alot of time in Tanners and caught some nice crappie but we caught them more by accident to be honest.Quote:

The only time I've been on Indian Lake is to go ice fishing. I usually get bored and go once or twice a year. I kind of figured that lake was real shallow. I would think that LL trolling could be good if you found the right area. I never figured on fishing 2'-4' debth. Sounds like jig/bobber fishing to me. With so many people living on that lake, is it wall to wall people? I may have to skip a weekend of turkey hunting and give it a try or maybe just take a day off work and go during the week. Either way, it would be different. I talked to a guy while ice fishing a few weeks ago, he told me fish IL quite a bit and his best is 17.5". That sounded good to me. He did mention the pad beds also.
Indian has a variety of structure; pads, brush, boat dock/lifts. I think that is the reason they can be hard to find at times, you never know what sturcture if any their going to relate to.
I have caught some nice crappie there, the biggest white was around16.5", black was about 14".

How thick is the ice on ef does anyone know. I would imagine solid in the shallows but what about the trolling waters. I live right on beechmont before withamsville. Cabin fever is gettin the best of me. Keeps me up at night.:confused:
