Was a pretty good week for fish this week. The days were really slow, but had some good fish caught during the nights. Had a 60, a 65, and a 67 caught this weekend. No REALLY big fish this week, but several 50's and tons of 40's. #'s of smaller fish starting to pick up as well. With the cooler days & nights, we expect this coming week to be even better.

Ticket price is $16, $4 more bucks to get into the jackpots so an even $20 covers your fishing and Jackpots.
I pretty much only fish there Weds. nights, but that is because I am off work the next day. I have fished there on a Friday night and it wasn't very crowded. I think if you get there early you can get a spot easily. Your best bet is probably to go during the week like most lakes its usually not as crowded as people have to work.

The most of I seen anyone catch is 9, all out of the same spot. Most I have gotten is 3. I think if you are looking to catch a lot of fish, this might not be the best lake for that. But if you are looking for big fish, then this is the lake. I would be more happy hitting 1 40# than catching 10 10 pounders.

Had a better week than the past 2 or 3 have been. The cooler temps have brought the water temp down and the fish are moving much better. No really big fish this week, with a 61 & a 60 being the biggest. But weighed 14 in the 50's, heard of several more being caught and took pics of bunches of 40's. I expect the #'s of smaller fish to pic up each week for the rest of the year.
