It's Hot Summer Time.......Fishing has been pretty decent this year, even with all the rain and heat, it appears to be a somewhat normal Indiana Summer!!!

Lake Monroe has been Good fishing for Largemouth and there is actually some grass growing on the mainlake. Largemouth have been relating to timber, grass and buck brush. Best lures lately have been spinnerbaits and topwater lures. With Surface Temperatures zooming up, the bass still seem to be relating to some of the shallower structure and breaks. A few wipers have been reported this week, but no real giant numbers have been rolling in. Crappie seem to be hanging in that 6-8 foot range near the brush and creek channel breaks.

Lake Lemon, The topwater and spinnerbait bite has been hot for the past few weeks, Some really nice fish have been hitting spinnerbaits around laydown timber and boat docks. Early Morning seems to be the hot time for Largemouth. Crappie have continued to hang in that 4-8 foot zone along ditches and creek channel breaks. Best lures for crappie have been small tube jigs and minnows.

Cataract Lake (Cagles Mill) has been fairly tough, but still some very nice fish being caught. Largemouth up in the shallow end seem to be feeding well. Best lures recommended would be spinnerbaits, soft plastics and topwater lures. The crappie in Cataract are still extremely nice and seem to really like minnow and soft tubes about 6-8 feet down. Most of the crappie seem to be located along the break lines and rock walls.

Good Luck Fishin, and if you have a story to share or a tip to post, just leave a comment on the blog.

Good Fishin,
