FOOTDOC Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Great Thanksgiving weather for all of us. My boy and I fished Giest Reservoir T-day and did great on crappies. Largest was about 11" but the numbers were beyond countable. I hear Lake Michigan is giving up good numbers of perch. May have to try this tomorrow morning out by the port of Indiana.

wa11eyeguy Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I was born and raised in Indiana, left when I was 19. Been living in Minnesota for over 20 years now, but I would be VERY interested in finding out what's happening down there. I still have lots of family in Indiana.Has anyone got any info about Lake Shafer, or Freeman, or the Mississinawa Reservoir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOOTDOC Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have not had much time to fish this year but hit lake michigan last monday for perch. Caught a two man limit with a friend of 30 jumbo lake perch averageing 11-12 inches each. Caught several small ones that were released unharmed. Had a dead stick over the boat in a rod holder. This was a 5'4" Loomis Mag/Lite with 4 lb test and a 1/16 oz jig with a minnow bobbing up and down. It produced a 31" laker that went 8 plus pounds. Release it as I was sure it would glow in the dark. Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Mike Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Oldtyme,I'm from Crown Point. I don't fish much in the area now but used to fish the chain north of Valparaiso and Fishtrap in Laporte. Another favorite spot is James Lake north of Warsaw. Most of my fishing these days is done up north of Bemidji, MN.Regards,Indiana Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD110 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Indiana Mike,I'm glad to see you're posting from the great city of Crown Point. I have a buddy that lives in Crown Point. I've been trying to get him to do a little posting. Maybe this will get him interested now that he can see a little local interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
