Tagged fish yields Bass Pro gift card.What began as a typical evening on the St. Joseph River near Bristol for 8-year-old Jon Howell and his dad became one theyll never forget.
The father/son fishing trips have become routine this summer. Jon Jr. has been a river fishing fanatic ever since his grandfather gave his dad his old, Tracker Marine bass boat rigged with a jet drive engine.
We put it in the water this summer and have been catching fish all year, said dad. That upper stretch of the river near Bristol really has some nice bass.

DNR Naturalist Aide Casey Jones holds a pair of big Worster Lake bass captured during a spring survey.You might want to include these northern Indiana lakes in your fishing trips next season:
- Bass Lake for walleyes and panfish.
- Lake Maxinkuckee for bass, perch, bluegills and walleyes.
- Lake of the Woods for bass and white bass.
- Worster Lake (Potato Creek State Park) for bass and hybrid stripers.
Those recommendations are based upon some observations made by Indiana DNR biologist Tom Bacula, who spent October researching young walleye populations on those lakes.
Each fall, biologists go into lakes that have been stocked with walleyes to assess how the young fish are doing.
