I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Brookville Reservoir Help

Hey guys,
I am fishing the Big Ten tournament on Sunday(the 26th) on Brookville Reservoir in Indiana.  The lake is over 5,000 acres with a ton of shoreline with both largemouths and smallies.  I am going down on thursday so I will have a couple of days of prefishing.  I'm not asking for any "secret spots", I have just never fished down there before so I was wondering if anybody has any helpful hints to point me in the right direction or any ideas on what I should look for?  I am assuming and hoping that most of the fish will be in prespawn, but there may be some earlier spawners on beds already.
Thanks for the help.

 Never been there.. Id look for the warmest water available. Not sure about Brookville but i think its a pretty clear place. Check the upper end of the lake. Look for pockets of dirtier water or something like that is warmer and shallower. the fish that have spawning on there mind will be there. if not hit the main river points looking for the fish moving into the creek arms.
NEVER GIVE UP!!!

I wish I could help. I have fished most of the Indiana water, but Brookeville is one that I have not. I have fished with several guys who have fished this lake, though. I will see if I can get ahold of a couple of them and see what they say. I know Brookeville is a veryyyyyyyyyyy tough lake. The last state finals I fished I drew two guys that both came from the Brookeville top 8. I think it only took 7 pounds to wind for two days. My first day partner had 1 fish for 3 1/2 pounds and finished like 13th and the second day partner I had had one keeper each day for just shy of 4 pounds and finished 10th. That was about 7 years ago and maybe the fishing has improved. I will let you know if I can get you any information.
