Look at the past three to four tournaments on Patoka and you will see similar results.... Patoka right now is the worst lake in our state when it comes to fish over 9 inches.
Kudos to the guides on that lake trying to get keeper size crappies for their clients.
Not sure why it's the way it is the past 3 years? 4 years ago everyone was catching nice stringers of 12 to 15" crappies.
Hats off to Yates and Allen those fella's figured them out when no one else could.

that's about when the CO told me not to throw small fish back, the lake was over populated and needed thinning or the fish won't grow very fast or not at all.

I wanted to see also,,how Patoka did as they had a Indiana Bass Fed. tourney the following Sunday day after the Crappie Tourney. Out of 75 or so boats,,,150 fishermen,,,3 bass won the tourney...only shows 9 boaters, and 9 non boaters with fish,,,mostly 1..then I went to USA Bass,that had a tourney on Monroe on the same Sunday,,,and USA Bass, had I think,,9 boats,,of which 8 weighed fish,,but,,4 boats had their limit of bass and most had more than Patoka after the 4,,so the old lady Monroe,,put it on Patoka for bass fishing even. With all the cover in Patoka,,can't figure it out any more why its like it is. Also,,for 2014,,Indiana DNR stocked 300k or more Stripers again,,and 1.5 million walleye fry again in it. You can find that info on DNR's website.

I just happened to be on the DNR stocking page before visiting this site this morning. It only shows 68,000 stripers being stocked in 2014 and they were hybrids. Anyone know when they started stocking the wipers instead of stripers? DNR: Fish Stocking and State HatcheriesOriginally Posted by cevans
