Purdue Bass Fishing Club gets recognized in their local paper:
Purdue’s Bass Fishing Club participates in at least three fall tournaments. The students involved get the opportunity to be a part of what the club describes as a “real bass fishing tournament atmosphere.”
Central Indiana kayak angling is growing, including the tournament side of things:
I am unbelievably impressed with our local kayak fishing community. Kayak fishing is a fairly new and growing sport in this area, and as such the community is not well established. This event was the first of its kind in our area.
Bass tagging is completed on the St. Joe River, and results are encouraging:
“We collected some of the best smallmouth I’ve ever seen in a river,” said Hoosier biologist Neil Ledet who headed the project. “We saw a few in the 18-inch class, a 20-incher and several other nice fish.”
The walleye fishery on the same stretch of river is also taking off:
“We’ve always been able to catch 6 or 8 sublegal and maybe one legal fish (15-plus inches),” noted Ukele. “But this season has been different. One week this summer, I was catching 8 to 10 keepers and 6 non-keepers. It’s been fantastic all year.”
Indiana's Mark Dove is headed back to the Bassmaster Classic for the third time:
Dove will be making back-to-back appearances at the Classic. He went last year as the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship overall winner, and he’s going back in 2014 as the Northern Division champ. He also qualified once before in 1997.
