I'm in! My father is a world war 2, korean,and 3 tours of vietnam veterain. Suffers from demenshia and loves to fish. Last time took him out and the boat a bit to much for him. Still gets around fairly well ,but can sit in a chair for hours on end. Would love to take him to pay lake with easy access for he can walk ,but dont want to push him to far. Any suggestions around the hardin county area? Love to see pop fight a fish.

Since the flooding I have left the boat in the driveway and am resorting to the paylakes here in the last week or two. Got 15 at West Wind Monday and am heading back out there in the morning hoping to have better luck.

I fish the tournaments they hold at what used to be Bob's Paylake off Mt. Washington Rd. Lemme know when and where you fish I wouldn't mind sharing some bait and having someone to fish with. Feel free to PM me.

What is the deal with the paylakes? Do you pay to fish, or do you pay for what you keep? Haven't ever been to one before. Wouldn't mind catching a few catfish for the freezer.

Spent may a day running the banks of Bob's. Its been years since I've been back out that way. What is the name of the lake now? New owner I guess?

if you are speaking of Bod's off of Mt Washington Rd , as far as i know its been closed for a few years now. i planned to go one night and drove by on my way home from work and it was clased and a lot of ovrgrowth.


i usually dont go to paylakes but when i do i go to Allen's out by Otter Creek.

i use to fish paylakes back in the day alot use to love catfish haven in valleystation but that was then i hate the crowds lines being crossed and all the bait 1 need to bring and still might not have what they want! chickin soaked in dog crap! r some other crazy bait lol.. give me the ohioriver any day but that being said my son loves to paylake fish once in a bluemoon ill go with him usely will go to mike&dianns in meade county.

The lake is still called Bob's it's just not open except for the tournaments held there. The owner is still the same and he still lives there on the property with his wife. He has stocked lots of channel cats as well as flatheads and blues for these tourneys. For the one in June he is tagging a bunch of fish and the prize money should be very nice. One guy won $940 at the last one and it only cost $35 to fish.

For the question about paylakes in general: You pay to fish and keep what you catch. Few lakes have limits of how many you can catch but most do not. The cost is usually around $15 for a 12 hour ticket. I went out to West Wind today and caught 39. Thats my last trip for a while so I was glad to fill the freezer.

I know where Allen's is but have never stopped to fish it. Is it any good. What do they use for bait down there What's in the lake

You guys got me thinking. There used to be a pay lake up on a hill across from Waverly park. Instead of turning into the park turn in the street opposit the lake is still there but a few house around it. Also used to be several lakes on old 3rd and east pages the lake still there. But the big one was there was a really great lake down near I belive near summitt ky
it had 2 lakes one great big one real clear full of bass and other fish the smaller one was full of catfish. The story I got was several doctors made it back in the 50's on this farm it was great to fish. used to be a guy at an old house you paid him and drove thru a gate, years ago someone said they sold the place to a church. I saw and got more fish there than anywhere I ever went. this was back in the 70's ut can't remember where is is today. anyone know of this place

i remember a lake that sounds like that , we called it " the dollar pond" . i remember an old farm house that you had to stop and pay the go through a gate. i remeber catching quite a few catfish and bass out of there. that had to be at least 20 years ago. it was out off of cedar creek road in pioneer village i beleive.
