- In this episode I've made it to Indiana and am linking up with Chad Brock to fish an abandoned limestone quarry for bass. Indiana produces a special kind of limestone that has been used around the world for monuments like the Pentagon, Empire State Building and more. And the topwater bite is on FIRE in this unique fishery.
COMMENT BELOW and tell me a unique place you've fished, or tell me your go-to topwater lure for bass!

Awesome to see you out there getting it done with all the craziness going on!!! Keep ‘em coming!!!
Now THAT'S some fun fishing
Nice bass action bro, cheers from Ensenada Mexico.
What part of Ohio you heading too? I’m from Toledo Ohio. Can’t wait to watch the video
Is this open to the public?
Tried this method at my local ponds that last couple days, never caught so many fish within an hour and a half in my life! Lots of fish and not bad for my area! Thanks for this :D
Well hot damn, glad it was helpful brother! 💪🏼
👍🏼👍🏼
What’s the damage on the drone?
Just four broken props that I can tell, but it's been acting a little... skitzy ever since. Think it knocked something loose. No accidents so far though.
Nice! I wish the rock quarry behind my house would fill up like that.
Same
Hey Nolan, you’re Max’s buddy!!! You’re a talented young man too.
@@christophermoore4715 Ya! Are you his dad/padre? Thanks!!!
Yes sir, the crazy one that’s responsible for Max😀
We have alot of those around Indiana. Linton Indiana has some of the best quarry fishing around. Huge gills, crappie, bass, cats. Yrs ago we would go for a weekend and leave with wheelie coolers of fish. I caught a 2lb 3oz crappie out of one about 13 yrs ago, several over 1.5 and bluegills the size of a pie plate
Good to know! Those are huge gills
Lake Monroe near there holds bigger fish although they are harder to target regularly for video content. Next year or this fall you might target an hour west of here at Bass Lake in Greene-Sullivan State Forest. They have all of those aggressive 15-17" Largemouth coupled with Muskie in the deep weedlines. Largemouth there bite rattletraps and everything else, Muskie are harder to catch, I think live bait might be best option with the artificial fishing pressure for those.
Man I live in Indiana, I need to get on top of finding fishing spots like this
Lemme know if you find the good spots lmao I'm in Indy as well
Nice you are the best
How bad was the damage. I had a GoPro karma that crashed 4 times but it was because the internal magnets were calibrated....at least that’s what GoPro said....I now own a DJI spark and love it!
Awesome video! I didn’t know you can fish a swimbait that way.
It’s a good trick and more subtle than most Topwater presentations, so if your go-tos aren’t working, give it a shot
Wow, awesome to see you fish for bass in my backyard after watching your videos from Panama and all over.
I had a blast man. Indiana gets two thumbs up from this guy based on first impressions. Chad is a real solid dude, and he’s from there as well. Good people
Normally when you see a quarry it's deep and clear. They look nothing like what you guys are fishing. I've caught at least five bass over 6 pounds in quarry's all over Indiana
How in the world do you guys keep your kayaks so still when you get a bite????
I was using my drive as an anchor in all that thick grass
if you make the trip to texas ill show you some of the greatest fishing youve seen
I’m from Texas brother. Lived there much of my life and have done probably 25-30 episodes in the lone star state...
There's a great Otis Gibbs song about the "Empire Hole" a quarry in Indiana in his back yard that his dad used to work in that supplied the Limestone for the empire state building.
ua-cam.com/video/vZh8YXLbbsE/v-deo.html
You just have too much fun, thanks for all the video's.
That’s what life’s all about!
hey how you access this pond you gotta drive through the quarry on the weekend? i was gonna check out the empire quarry sometime this year maybe i can try this one too i'm catch and release so won't keep anything canyou help with gps thanks.
good catch bro, beautiful fish, greetings from indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
You have spoilt me with all the monster roosters and cuberas. as good as the bass bite was... my pulse remained dormant. I miss yr saltwater kayak actions so much, I have them on repeat. 😎
To the 1% of people that see this have a wonderful night, stay safe and be grateful for everything in life.
What drive is that bought the strike kayak drive broke first time out havent had no one contact me after emails
Who are you emailing? Info@lightningkayaks.com? They’ll take care of you
We have two strikes. Moved over from Hobie. Top notch customer service and stability is amazing.
Awsome that was so cool smoked it on the top. Man, that weather looks amazing so Hot here in South West Louisiana.
that was a nice spot!
Indeed. So much fun
Robert Field in my backyard!!!!!!!! Bud hit the creeks with us next time!!!!
Topwater blowups are so awesome. Great action for a bass fishing video, nice! Maybe some orange reflective tape would be an alternative.
Good to hear ur voice again laughing.. ur not in Panama..enjoy ur fishing in Indiana..wish I could cook ur fish.."escabeche"..now am hungry..
Thanks Delilah
Nice seeing some footage from my hometown in Bedford!
Really fun day and cool area!
Dope fishing and it sucks about the drone man but the video was nice lots of action until the end lol
let them eat it, maaan. damn.
Thanks bro!! I’ll write that down
@@YakFishField 😂
That's the old quarry where Fred Flintstone was employed.
18:48 I don't care how good a fisherman you are or how experienced you are at kayak fishing, everyone does this from time to time. You feel stoopid, but it happens.
Haha yep, it happens
How long did it take to get the nest out of the reel😅😂🤣
The world record Bluegill was caught at a quarry near Birmingham, AL (Ketona Lakes - 2 abandoned queries over 500' max depth).
What do you know about the one in bessemer
@@antonioclayton5224 Can't help you there. The bluegill came from Ketona Lakes near Tarrant City on Hwy 79. Both are currently private and posted against trespass or fishing.
Never caught anything on a topwater bait before. Maybe just a wrong place, wrong time kind of thing, but MAN is it awesome to see fish go for it.
It’s SO fun. Usually doesn’t maximize bites but every one is so damn fun, it’s worth it. Very situational though, that bite was on for 90 minutes then died abruptly when the sun came out
oh man how sick was that first top water eat!
Fun afternoon and a close call with the drone. I treed one of mine and dropped it like 15ft once and only lost two blades, still worked fine. They are tougher than you think.
Indiana topwater Bass, who knew? Love the enthusiasm
I sure didn’t! So much fun
Yeah looks abandoned to me.
Not sure I understand. Are you being sarcastic? Where we were fishing used to be a dry quarry. It was abandoned decades ago, but there are new quarries adjacent to the one we fished. Thought we explained all that
It's great to see someone having a good time.
Chad Brock, sounds like every frat house leader
Robert Field! I want to see you at Los Buzos some day! I have a question for you though, what kayak weighs less than 90 lbs and can keep up with the old town predator pdl? My buddy and I often go 3+ miles and I am tired of being left behind in my hobie i11.
This boat. Lightningkayaks.com
My wife loves the Lightning Strike for fresh & salt bays. My son (13) uses it too. As fast as my Hobie outback and way more stability. I’ll switch over for my next yak.
Weightless soft plastic frogs work really well also. They give a good presentation with the kicking legs on the top, and they drift down subtly when you stop reeling. I have basically hooked every fish in my little pond with it at this point, so it's not working as well now, but the first morning I tried it, I fished for 3 hours, and hooked 24 bass, landing 19. It was the best day I have ever had on my spot. I am not used to being that successful, so I let the line get too frayed up, and bass number 25 took the whole set up with him. Now I know to check and re-tie if needed. Thanks for the uploads as always.
That’s one I haven’t tried too often. Ill have to pick some up and give em a go. Was on a river in Michigan today and slayed em on a spro frog. Didn’t try the paddletail trick, but I realize now I should have. It was almost identical conditions... raining off and on, shallow, grassy... just with smallmouth and current. Luckily we slayed em anyways... this’ll be a fun one coming up. Thanks for watchin my man. Means the world 🙏🏼
@@YakFishField I should have said I prefer the Rage Tail Space Monkey soft plastic, and a worm hook with no weight at all. They're getting harder to come by, but some of the other Rage Tails are good. I toss it around all sorts of structure and shorelines and have good success with it. Usually I will let it sit, then run it up to the surface, and finally let it drift slowly down, but it can also run at many depths like your swim bait here. The legs kick on the surface pretty convincingly. It's been a fun one for me, but tbh, I haven't caught a bass above 3 lbs this year. That is kind of pathetic, but I have also been really branching out and trying to perfect other lures and how I present them. It's worth a bit less bites for the time being. I tried your crappie dock fishing technique this spring btw. I caught a few, and hooked a catfish that wound me all up underneath a dock. By the time I had passed the rod through all the columns, he was off. It's still so much fun, all of it, even the misses.
Fun to watch the action, but those bass were starved. I don't think I've ever seen so many skinny bass.
Too many in there. That’s why the whole “if you eat bass you’re the devil” taboo is so ignorant. Best thing we could do for that fishery would be to take 15 of em and have a fish fry. The remaining ones would grow bigger.
Man your my hero love the vids cannot believe your in the Hoosier state never would have believed you would come to my state and be so close to where I live
I loved indiana!!
Nothing like some youtube on the shitter. Plop
That's bass fishing at its most fun. For drone retrieval, consider investing in an arborist slingshot. They run about $120 on amazon. It launches a bean bag with a line attached up and over limbs. You can yank on the line to bring down the drone. I've rescued many RC planes using one.
Im sure someones already said this but when you see a fish following your lure do a figure 8 when it gets to the yak. I think its more of a muskie tactic but ive caught a few bass doin it too.
Yeah. Hard to do when sitting down
@@YakFishField I didnt even think about the fact that you were sitting down. I havent done enough bass fishing in my yak to know how hard it is to do a figure 8 while sitting. Maybe if you use like a 9ft rod you could do figure 8s in the yak lol.
please less talk ;more fishing ? thanks
Obviously people stock the quarry? Awesome little spot!
Rob, if you enjoyed this, you should try to get on a Northern Pike topwater bite at some point. They are less coordinated on top than bass so they miss more often, but they FLY out if the water. And if they are willing to bite, they will strike at the boat like Jaws.
Ive never been in Indiana but ive been in Deana...
WHAT TIME OF YEAR WERE YOU FISHING THERE
Rob I love fishing but I can't catch fish with lures what can u recomend
If you share a little on the water you fish and what you target, I'm sure a bunch of these folks could offer some advice.
Try a good ol’ Yamamoto senko in a natural dark green color. If you wacky rig it ( hook the plastic worm in the middle ) and rig it weightless , let it sink and then lift it and then let it sink again.
Red fish and speckled trout
Nice!! That's my part of the neighborhood.
Very cool area
If you’re going to Illinois I got a spot that I can put you on that is worth a float hit me up if you want the details smallies and largemouth and the possibility of a odd ball river pike. You make some great videos keep up the good work.
Easy work! keep it up Robert, huge fan your my Idol wouldn’t been into kayaking without you the least I can do is say thank you.
Great video. Really enjoyed the excitement of catching fish. Love the weightless paddle tail idea. That watering hole was a great gem. Be safe
great video and awsome place to fish it looks like!!
Too many commercials dude
Bucket list! Keep it up man love the content and info i pull out of your videos! helps me alot with my adventures. Your the man!
I live in Massachusetts and I have the best fishing spot , it's a cranberry bog pond.
Face in the water 13:06 💀👻
so fun. 👍🏻
Screenshot your angler app I bet it looks like poka dots LOL
Looked like fun! Rock on sir
Still wondering why you weren't using heavier gear
Seeing more Lamiglas rods popping up in your vids lol
Your rod and reel look enormous for the situation.
What a sweet little spot. Hard to beat top water
Very cool and it looked like a blast.
Tighten your drag, eh.
What happened to the mavic?!
The cool summer is a mini ice age
Fun stuff, guys!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Welcome to Indiana!
wicked consistancy.
early gang
Hey Rob!
