Its that time again. Going to host another Labor Day Derby on the river for anyone interested. 7 am until 12 pm and the same rules as Wednesday Night apply. 4 fish limit if everyone has a partner, 2 fish limit if we have any solo competitors. Fish must be 15 inches or longer, no dead fish allowed, no culling in ramp parking lot. $40.00 per boat, two big bass pots this time. One for biggest smallmouth, one for biggest largemouth. Looks like we will have a crowd, so I will pay out probably 3, maybe even 4 places. Be kind to other fishermen and boaters. Give everyone some space and be careful running the river as its pretty low right now, but far from dangerous.
This year, due to some sort of art fair going on, we will not be able to fish the Broad Ripple pool of the river on Labor Day. They will have the entire ramp and parking lot shut down. So we'll fish this tournament on the 30th St pool of the White River. Not as diverse, but still good fishing once you figure them out with both largemouth and smallmouth. More shallow water up from the ramp than BR, but more deeper water from the ramp down to the 16th St dam. Lots of grass and wood, same as BR. Basically once you run to the 30th St bridge you will have to idle if you run a glass rig. Take your time and all is well.
Just an FYI for those that might be looking for a fun little tourney to fish that doesn't eat up your entire holiday. In the pics, that's Bryan Johnson (top, left) and Reggie Gibson (below) with a pair of fish from the Lake Indy pool this past weekend. Bite's on!
