Asking for a beautiful & healthy place to fish sponsorship in Indianapolis.

For 18 years Edward McCullough and Sandra McCullough have helped thousand's in the community of Indianapolis by organizing a community outreach center and food pantry for the needy. Mr. McCullough is a Disabled Vietnam Veteran, a Mason and a Minister and Mrs. McCullough is a cancer survivor, a great cook and one of the sweetest people I know. Mrs McCullough decided after her husband retired from working for the government to convert their barn into a bait shop with a lake to provide a safe & healthy place to fish. Their land has an underground spring that would help retain the water levels. Soon after Mr McCullough retired, Mrs McCullough was struck down with cancer, exhausting all their savings on medical bills. During this time they were conned by a contractor who said he would dig the lake if they agreed for him to put a 6" sewer line along the property for his business. The contractor put the line through the middle of their property instead, when the McCullough's went to ask about the building of the lake, the contractor threatened to call the police for trespassing on his property. The motives were clear, the contractor wished to purchase the McCullough's property and if the baitshop failed then he would be able to buy the land at a cheap rate. The McCullough's plagued with cancer and depression have all but lost hope. Mr. McCullough was robbed by automatic weapons a few months ago and the family almost shut the doors after celebrating 10 years in business. I(one of 3 sons)have been running the shop most of the time since then and built a website for them, but the revenue to build such a place is just not there. My parents have dedicated their lives to helping people all over Indiana and even some of the Katrina victims who decided to move to Indiana. With the increasing problems in the body's of water (Giest Reservoir and White River) in the Indianapolis area it would be nice to have a safe and healthy place to fish in Indianapolis again. My father who is a minister would also like to perform marriage ceremonies around the lake and have a playground built for the neighborhood children. I'm not asking for handouts or charity! Just one of the following, sponsorship to build the lake with an agreement of advertisement around the lake forever or trusting our website to provide you with the quality products that you are already purchase form the major fishing tackle outfitters. Please visit The Bait Barn website and see Who We Are! I would like to thank all who have purchased from The Bait Barn over the last year and look forward to providing quality products and services to all of you in the future.

Thank you & God Bless! Feel free to pass this along to whom ever you wish.

Paddlefish Poachers - From WRTV6

INDIANAPOLIS -- Ohio River paddlefish, whose eggs are sought by poachers as a lucrative source of caviar, are being protected by new regulations from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The DNR approved emergency rules that include limiting the catching of the paddlefish from Nov. 15 to April 15 and a minimum size of 34 inches from eye to tail fork.

"Our recent investigation clearly revealed that existing regulations are insufficient to protect this unique resource," DNR director Robert Carter Jr. said Monday. "Unfortunately, the high market prices for paddlefish caviar do not encourage resource conservation.

"The escalating harvest pressure threatens to take paddlefish faster than they can be replaced, which could lead to a shortage we intend to prevent," he said.

A two-year investigation has led to arrests of more than 20 people on charges including illegal taking of paddlefish, money laundering, and racketeering and corrupt business influence, Carter said.

Paddlefish in the Mississippi River Basin, including the Ohio River, were targeted by poachers because of a decline in traditional sturgeon caviar sources in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the DNR said.

Most females require 10 to 12 years to mature and may spawn only once every two to three years. A mature female paddlefish may carry several pounds of eggs, which can bring up to $250 per pound or more, the department said.

The emergency rules, valid for one year and then renewable for another year, also prohibit the snagging of paddlefish by people with sport-fishing licenses. They also prohibit the use of gill nets and trammel nets during the closed paddlefish season, and standardize a method for commercial fishers to check paddlefish for the presence of eggs.
