How's it going everyone! Tonight is our first night fishing event of the summer so here are some throwbacks from previous night fishing events! Night fishing is between 5pm - 11:30pm on lake 1 through lake 4. Please bring a lantern for a light source. Be mindful towards those around you by keeping the music at an appropriate volume, use family friendly language, bring good vibes, and take out your trash before you leave. The catfish bite has been consistent and with the weather warming up recently tonight is shaping up to be a great time! We just stocked lakes 2 and 6 with 1,000lbs. split between them so lake 2 will be a good bet. Lakes 2 - 4 have been stocked several times since the catfish opener so if Lake 2 is looking crowded then the next two lakes up will work well too! We hope to see you all out here tonight! 

The bass bite has been picking up again after the gloomy weather has passed. Water temps are in the low high 60s / low 70s for the most part so the bass are definitely active. An angler this last weekend caught a 10lb bass out of lake 4! 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!
