I love to go to KY Lake and spend several weeks there, several times a year. Well fuel prices are putting a stop to that. I'll go once this year, first full week of May. :embarassed:
I'm looking for ideas on places that I can fish and camp with my truck camper and 1960 Roughneck. I have looked at the East Fork of the White in Southern Ind. but thats a long way for me also. Ohio river is too far too as If I drive 340 miles to it, heck I might as well keep on heading to KY Lake and the LBL.
I'm up here, right next to Lake Michigan, Michigan City, Ind. just 7 miles from New Buffalo, Michigan. I would not mind a 100 to 200 mile drive, but with gas at 3.40 heading for 4 bucks a gallon, my 8 mile to the gallon rig, is only going so far.Then I'm too broke to even buy chicken liver.:angry:
You folks by Terrahaute, can I find a place to set up by the Wabash River. I never have fished it. What's at Monticello?? I'm looking for ideas fella's. I would even get a non resident MI license if I had to. What I'm not in the mood for is a camp where my boat cannot stay in the water for the week. I also do not like real high camping fee's. 20 or more a night and they can kiss my butt. I have every thing I need in that camper including a generator. All I need is a place to park the truck and a ramp to launch the boat. Plus good fishing, or good company.
I'm sure there are other folks in the same boat as me. That darn gas price puts a limit on my fishing. I could start fishing Lake Michigan. I never have had my boat on it, I'm sure it would do OK.
