John, that is a very generous offer! Next time I head down there, I will get in touch with you. I usually rent a trailer at the park. They are extremely reasonable. But I still would like to meet you and do some fishing with you.

my cottage is just outside the gate at sullivan county park and lake .I do most of my fishing there because it is convenent.I am one minute from the water(driving),three minutes from the beach,five minutes from the boat launch.I am more than willing to host a trip there at no cost for lodging.I can sleep 6 easily. you would have to supply your own food or chip in as a group

I have stayed at the County park in Sullivan,IN. Caught some nice gills and crappie! Heard about the strip mine fishing but never went to them! Great fishing down there!

just got back from opening my cottage in Sullivan ,In.Wednesday evening my wife and I got a chance to fish we thought it would be nice to eat some fresh gills.naturally she caught the first three,we went out late in the day 4 pm by 6 we had enough to eat and freeze a few.We chose a small strip pit which we thought would be a little warmer and it seemed to work out fine
