Any ideas on any lakes in Indiana that have a large population of Stripers or Wipers? I am wanting to give it a try once the hard water goes away... I have heard that Schaffer and Freeman have wipers but does anyone know if its just a "few" or if there is actually a large fishable amount of em in there or any other lakes/rivers that i would have some luck with stripers/wipers..
drive to Lake Cumberland or Rough River Lake some of the best inland Stripe fishin in the country!
I'd say that Schaffer and Freeman would be in the "few" category, but then it's been many years since I was there. There is a fairly decent population of stripers in Brookville Lake, but there too, they are hard to come by.

Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
The wife caught this one on Patoka up by the dam in early May. There was a bigger one following this one back to the boat. I don't know how many are in there but they got some size to them.
Monroe and Brookeville as well. I know of some guys that have caught some nice ones at Monroe bass fishing
patoka and monroe both have some good fishing in them specially around may ,not to uncommon to boat a few like posted above out there
I catch a lot of wipers at Monroe, have heard of the stripers at Patoka, but have no first hand knowledge of them.
ive caught alot of them out in the middle right iin front of the bridge ,Can be a wild ride during summer with the ski boats whizzing around the corner though,,
There are quite a few big stripers caught out of Racoon believe it or not. There is a guy in a red lund I've talked to at the ramp a few times that I see out there very regulary.
WE also had a cabin on the Tippecanoe River and below the Oak Dale Dam (makes L. Freeman) the wipers run up to the tailwaters there and stack up. Bad thing is so do the anglers....
Raccoon, the open bowl in front of the dam has a hump 40ft. up to 20ft. troll white steamers over it . Always 18 to 20 pounders. Gas stations and bait shops around the lake have walls covered with pics.
