Hey guys, I don't live in the area but I go up and fish northern Indiana every summer. My Dad has a house on Wauhob Lake and that is where I usually fish when I am there. Good fishin' everybody!!

Nice Crappies, Dick!!
Comment by Bruce J Miller on April 15, 2009 at 5:07pm
Saw all the bad weather going through there! Glad your all right! Great to see you still got to fish. 92 KY Lake keeper crappies will make a pile of fillets!

Good luck at KY Lake. They have some big crappies down there. The 10 bluegill limit is for that chain of lakes only at Big Chetek. Seems they caught 3 or 4 people with a whole truck full of blue gills one year. I guess it was a obscene amount of fish. They were from out of state. So, that was the start of implementing a 10 bluegill/25panfish daily limit!

Well Dick, I'll be heading up to Big Chetek in late May/early June! I love it up there. Nice Bluegills and all kinds of other fish! They have a 25 panfish limit up there now. only 10 can be Blue gill. Which is great by me. We get 15 crappie, 10 gills a piece. Then go smallie, pike, or walleye fishing!

Dick, I have fished both of those lakes, but its been awhile. I do a lot of fishing in Wisconsin. Do you still live in Hobart?
