How's it going everyone! The spotlight is on Kyle R. for this hefty largemouth bass he caught the other day! Even though the bite has been a little slower due to the heat he still ripped a nice one mid day! Morning bite or evening bite has been the best.

We last stocked lakes 3 and 6 two weeks ago with 500 lbs. of catfish each. Tomorrow we will be stocking lakes 2, 7, as well as the kids fishing pond with catfish, 1,000 lbs. split between the three. Lake 2 will be closed all day Friday for the stock. Catfish are active but getting here for the early morning bite or waiting for it to cool down a bit in the evening seems to be the best bet for catfish right now. Stinkbait, mackerel, shrimp, and nightcrawlers are some good bait for catfish just to name a few.
For catfish enthusiasts the biggest catfish event of the year is just around the corner, Stockzilla! We will be stocking 3,500 lbs. of catfish between lakes 2 through 7. Stockzilla will be held on September 13th & 14th so make sure to mark those calendars as you don't want to miss out on this!
Our new restaurant, Top Water Grill, has opened! If you get hungry while fishing and didn't pack anything to eat you s
