LABOR DAY TOURNEY @ BROAD RIPPLE ON THE WHITE RIVER IN INDY
LABOR DAY TOURNAMENT @ BROAD RIPPLE ON THE WHITE RIVER. Its that time again, going to host another Labor Day Derby on the river for anyone interested. 7 am until 12 pm and the same rules as Wednesday Night apply. 4 fish limit if everyone has a partner, 2 fish limit if we have any solo competitors. Fish must be 15 inches or longer, no dead fish allowed, no culling in ramp parking lot. Cut off is the 465 bridge. $40.00 per boat, two big bass pots this time. One for biggest smallmouth, one for biggest largemouth. Looks like we will have a crowd so I will pay out probably 3 maybe even 4 places. Be kind to other fishermen and boaters, give everyone some space and be careful running the river as its pretty low right now but far from dangerous. If you have any questions feel free to call or text me, 317-292-6150. See you there! For those that aren't familiar and are interested, Broad Ripple Park is located on 62nd St in Indianapolis approximately 1 to 1 1/2 miles west of Keystone Avenue on the north side of the road. Fishing is good for both largemouth and smallmouth, lots of different cover and areas to fish for both species. Bite is usually a bit tougher this time of year but is still better than most other bodies of water right now. Weights for the Wednesday Night weekly tournament for a 2 fish limit have been in the 5 to 7 pound range lately. Just an FYI for those that might be looking for a fun little tourney to fish that doesn't eat up your entire holiday.

Well due to some sort of art fair going on we will not be able to fish the Broad Ripple pool of the river on Labor Day, they will have the entire ramp and parking lot shut down. So for those interested we will move the tournament to the 30th St pool of the White River. Not as diverse but still good fishing once you figure them out. More shallow water up from the ramp than BR but more deeper water from the ramp down to the 16th St dam. Lots of grass and wood, same as BR. Basically once you run to the 30th St bridge you will have to idle if you run a glass rig, take your time and all is well. Same times, same cost.

REMINDER THAT THIS TOURNEY WILL BE HELD AT LAKE INDY aka 30 St. INSTEAD OF BROAD RIPPLE DUE TO RAMP CLOSURE FOR AN ART FAIR. All other rules apply with the exception that there is no cut off in this pool, all is fair game since you cant get far even with a jet in the low water.
