Guided Waters

Guided fishing trips are available to most of Indiana's lakes and rivers.  The bodies of water that I prefer to guide on are listed below.

Lake Webster: (muskie trips) Shallow, weedy flats, awesome breaklines, excellent open water fishing, and "full of fish" are the best ways to describe Lake Webster.  Heavy annual stocking provides great numbers of fish while the possibility of catching the next state record has made this the most popular muskie lake in the state.

Lake Tippecanoe/James Lake: (muskie/pike/bass trips) With the Indiana State Record muskie coming from these waters, it is obvious that they produce "monster" fish.  A variety of humps, weedy flats, awesome breaklines, clear deep water, and plenty of forage is what gives these muskies everything they need to reach that coveted 50+ inch size class.  Angling on these waters truly may produce your next fish of a lifetime!

Barbee Chain: (muskie/pike trips) The "Barbee Chain" is made up of 7 lakes.  With a 10 M.P.H. speed limit on all lakes except Big Barbee, angling on these waters really is a peaceful and pleasurable experience.  A wide variety of water clarity, structure and forage combined with a heavy annual stocking program provide for good numbers of fish as well as 45+ inch size class fish becoming common.

Lake Wawasee: (largemouth & smallmouth bass/pike trips) With 28 miles of shoreline and a distance of 7 miles from end to end, Lake Wawasee is the largest natural lake in Indiana.  A wide variety of docks, grass, sandy/rocky flats, awesome breaklines, clear water, and a large forage base provide the largemouth, smallmouth, and northern pike everything they need to thrive in this body of water.  Angling on Lake Wawasee remains consistent from early spring through late fall.

White River: (largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass) The "Mighty White" has long been thought of as the best smallmouth bass fishery in the state.  Wood, rock, sandbars and deep holes make up the miles and miles of fishable water.  Using a specialized fishing jet boat to navigate the shallow sections of the river, we are able to gain access to areas only seen by kayaks, canoes and wading fishermen.  Wildlife such as birds, deer, beaver and a variety of other animals call the river their home, so angling here truly is a nature lover's dream.  With the continued efforts of the Indiana DNR and groups such as "Friends of the White River", the river should remain one of the top bass fisheries in our state.

Geist Reservoir/Morse Reservoir: (largemouth bass) Known for the enormous homes that make up the landscape around these lakes, Geist and Morse Reservoirs are a hidden gem when it comes to largemouth bass fishing.  A mixture of wood, docks, grass, points, rock humps and an abundance of baitfish enable the largemouth bass to thrive on these populated waters.  Both of these lakes have plenty of coves and idle zones allowing an angler to get away from the pleasure boaters that often inhabit these waters.

Lake Monroe/Patoka Lake: (largemouth bass)  At 10,750 acres, Lake Monroe is Indiana's largest lake, while Patoka is a close second at 8,880 acres.  Each of these lakes offers a wide variety of angling options, with both of them having major tributaries, open water humps and breaklines, excellent shoreline cover, standing timber, grass, and all of the other goodies largemouth bass anglers dream about.  Up to 10 pound bass have been caught from both of these waters, so fishing on them may produce your next "trophy" largemouth bass.
