So i was invited out to a pay lake with a couple of friends yesterday and all i can say is wow..... people really pay 15$ to fish at these places? we sat out there for about 8 hours and between the 3 of us we only caught 2 fish. My general idea was that these places would of been loaded full of cats and that we might of been able to catch a decent mess. we caught some small cats that might of weighed a pound a piece. Even with about 30 corks in the water nobody was really catching anything and this was after the owner had stocked the lake minutes before we had arrived. So ill stick to the big lakes where i know i can pitch out noodles and catch some nice fat blue cats. I believe that will be my first and last pay lake visit lol. Are these places just a rip off or was it just one of those bad days?
