My wife and her friend want me and my buddy to take them for a weekend of fishing where they would also have cabins for rent. We live in central Indiana and have our own boats. A 14’ for him and a 16’ for me. I’ve thought about looking into Monroe Reservoir but my perception is that it’s usually pretty crowded - especially when the bass tournament fishing gets going, or even worse, when the summer arrives with all the pleasure boaters.
Raccoon, Waveland, Glen Flint, and even the Missinewa Reservoir are all about an hour and a half drive and we wouldn’t need a cabin if we were to go there - but driving back and forth would be a pain in the butt. Patoka also comes to mind.
Kentucky Lake or Barkley could be a possibility, but those bodies of water are so big it might be difficult to get on the fish in just a weekend. Ideally, perhaps, would be something within a four hour drive and about 500 acres which means northern Kentucky or southern Indiana ? We’re thinking about sometime in mid to late spring (?)
I’ve also wondered if there might be something around a Brown County ?
Any suggestions from first hand experience ?
