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.

I spent Saturday on Koontz Lake and yesterday I was sick and had to call off work and heal my self at Lake Wawasee  ;). Nevertheless, the weather is sure fun ;D.  I saw a ton of beds but everyone of them were empty. I ended up catching several fish from both lakes, but the majority of them were small. The keepers I did catch were 14-15". Just a week ago a lot of fish were on beds and those that weren't were closeby. Now, it seems they've abandoned the beds. I got a question for you all, what will it take to get those fish back on beds keeping the extended forecast in mind: 60 degrees and rain! Will a dominant pattern of bed fishing ever come back this year? Or is tough fishing in the forecast until summer patterns hit?

Just a few hours of sunshine and ill bet they'll start to move back up

And when is it you figure the sun will shine again?
Wawasee - Wawasee - Wawasee - that's all I here anymore.
Wife says I'm irritable.Asked her to kindly be quiet. Surely I don't sound irritable to you guys. ???
Best to head out into the garage before she comes back.She's been a bit touchy ever since I zeroed Sat on James. :-[
Everybody's in love with Wawasee this spring.Maybe I should hustle down there.Can't imagine 2 zeros in a row..... >:(
Look past what they want you to see.

Is there another body of water in N. Indiana worth fishing?  ;) The thing I do like about Wawasee is how much I can learn about it. Seems like everytime I'm there I learn something. I can't say that about other lakes in our area that I've fished 100+ times.

They tell me if you take off your windsheilds and motor cowling you may be able to get to those bass in the beaver ponds.
I thought I'd mention that in case you were running out of options down there..... ;D

I've been with someone who used his big motor to make hole in a beaver dam before... something I don't plan on copying...

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
