How's it going everyone! The spotlight is on Brandon and Hudson today for this awesome 12lb 4oz albino catfish they caught! The look of pure excitement on their faces is awesome! We just stocked lakes 3 and 7 on Friday with 500 lbs. of catfish each. Catfish bite has been holding steady with action happening just about anytime of the day. Stinkbait, mackerel, shrimp, and nightcrawlers are some good bait for catfish just to name a few. 

The bass bite has been picking up again after the gloomy weather has passed. Water temps are in the mid to high 70s for the most part so the bass are active! Topwater baits, senkos, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and nightcrawlers have all been seeing success. Personal favorite to throw are topwater baits; no better feeling than watching the explosion of water as your bait gets taken! 

Our new restaurant, Top Water Grill, has opened! If you get hungry while fishing and didn't pack anything to eat you should stop on by to give it a try! We hope to see you guys out here!
