Hello all! New guy in the Valparaiso, IN area. I do most my boating on Lake Michigan out of Michigan City, and have a small bow rider that I use for inland lakes. I grew up fishing on Lake Tippy, but lost my skill over the years. Now my youngest son discovered fishing and wants to go out often, but our attempts have been a bit sad.
Hoping to pick up on some good places for blue gill, and maybe get some tips on how to find and actually catch bass these days, as my old technique with rapala lures doesn’t yield much action.

Not too many fishing pictures to share, although I found one from last year when my son and I had some luck at pine lake with the bow rider. Our larger boat is a 1989 Sea Ray 390EC.

Valpo! My son went to college there from 2001-2005 and played football. Met his current wife who was a swimmer. We were back there a lot to watch him play back then. Loved that area - once we got away from Chicago and the airport and traffic! Unfortunately, I never got to fish.

When the salmon run, go to the creek that flows behind Burger King and the church across us 30 at Rt 2 and 30. I’ve had my hook straightened there once. Never landed one. It’s not heavily fished but I’ve seen fish that look like submarines coming upstream. You can park right by the creek at the church. Kind of a secret place. Since I don’t live nearby anymore, the secret is out! 😎
