It should hold thru this warm spell as long as we don't get a lot of rain...supposes to be windy

Took the wife and boys out tonight. The honey hole was to weak for us to get on, so I brought them to Loomis instead. Haven’t fished this lake in years, and I never fished it during ice season. Tip ups were slow, but they did manage one small lrg mouth that we released. Thanks for the “shout out” from the near by fishing crew for the tip-up!  ;) The bite turned on the hr before sunset and kept up til dark when we left. I caught one crappie and some gills, but the boys lit them up. We ended up with 32 between us. Everyone had a blast and many funny memories were made.  ;D

Fished 13 fow. I was dealing with a lot of line tangles and a couple hooks to the hands. Boys always have to learn the hard way!  ;D At one point, I kicked them out of the shanty just so I could get a line down lol. The lake was making a lot of noise and cracking.

what's the bass legal length at Loomis? Thought anything under 12" in Indiana had to be released.
Title: Re: Loomis
Post by: dfishman on Mar 07, 2019, 12:57 PM
I thought they had to be 14inches to keep.
Title: Re: Loomis
Post by: abishop on Mar 07, 2019, 01:37 PM
Believe it is 14 unless at the slough. I think it is either 16 or 18 there.
Title: Re: Loomis
Post by: Jig_Head on Mar 07, 2019, 05:44 PM
Rivers and streams might be 12" but most everywhere is 14
