Wednesday Night Fishing- July 25th, 2012

Wednesday Night Fishing- July 25th, 2012@ 6:30 P.M. (Map)

Temps are still up and despite the rain last week, water levels are down resulting in a lot of weed choked fishing areas which limits places to go with a small group.  It has been a couple of months since we last  fished in Elkhart, so, we will be meeting in Elkhart, In. at Beardsley Park which is located on the south east corner of the Main St. and Beardsley Ave. intersection  and will fish the Island Park area.

Hope You Can Make It!
