Yesterday my brother and I got out on a lake I've never fished before called Dewart Lake. It's a 500 some acre lake located in the NW portion of Indiana. We were on the water by 5AM. It was one of those days full of high expectaion but without the results we were wishing for. For the first time this year I got skunked.

Dang, that sucks. I've done also left the drag backed way off when I set the hook, and it's cost for fish for sure. Good luck next time though buddy!

Keith, you're not the only one that got skunked yesterday. It happened to me too. The high pressure weather conditions also had my fish shut down. My bass were very reluctant to bite; and when they did, it was more like a nibble rather than a bite.

Keith, I've always heard that Dewart is pretty good but I have never been there. There are a lot of lakes in that area that I'd like to check out. I used to live in Warsaw and sure wish that I fished back then. Hopefully your next trip to that lake will be a lot better.

Keith, I went fishing yesterday and got skunked too! It must be something in the air. Usually, I won't give up until I catch something, but the weather report was not too nice, so I decided to hang it up.

Sorry to hear you got skunked, Keith, but at least you got out there and enjoyed the time on the water. I fished all weekend with my nephews and will try to post a report in the next day or two.
