Indiana - Patoka Lake
A fertile reservoir that dependably yields big largemouth bass, Patoka also has a developing striper fishery. Concentrate on milfoil beds for largemouths, especially those around Painter Creek State Recreation Area. Crank the edges of the grass with a firetiger Cotton Cordell Big O, and work into the vegetation with a junebug 71⁄2-inch Texas-rigged Yum Ribbontail worm and 3⁄8-ounce bullet sinker.

Guide's Tips
Species: Crappies
Guide: Tim Gibson; timsguideservice.com; 812-936-3382
Rig Specifics: A medium-sized spincasting rod with a light-test fluorocarbon line using 1/32- to 1/16-ounce jigs.
Quick Tip: The jigs are especially great in the deep timber, between 15 and 20 feet. The ideal day is in the high 70s to low 80s
Where to Fish: On the west side of the lake. There's deep water and good tree trunks.
