We didn't get as many channels as we would have liked to take home, but were really pleased with the trip over all.  We've tried several other paylakes over the years to get our first flats, but never had any luck until we went there.  We'll be going back for sure.  Price of the pass is reasonable (17 for a 12 hour pass that includes all the lakes), but their bait prices were a little hit and miss.  Goldfish and Israeli Carp were a dollar a piece, but 3.75 a dozen on night crawlers and 7.25 a dozen for leeches.  They were out of frozen bait, but we brought our own shad with us.  Looked like they also sold bluegill and bullheads, but were out.

I know it's not an Indiana report, but it's fairly close so I thought I'd share.  I went over there last night with my buddies Doug and Adam and had a pretty good time.  It's a really nice facility with 4 trophy cat lakes and 1 keeper lake.  Got there around 730 and started at the keeper lake.  Adam got a nice channel within 10 minutes of us getting set up, and then another a few minutes later, and that was it.  We stayed on that lake until around midnight then moved to one of the trophy lakes.  It was a pretty slow night but around 4 the action started.  Each of us got our very first flatheads ever with the first three going between 9 and 12 lbs.  I got my second one while the third was being unhooked and it was 17 lbs, which is my personal best cat of any species.  A while later Adam got his first ever blue.  Not very big, but nice for him to cross another 2 species caught of the list this year.  Didn't get anything else after that so we left around 7am. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.  It's a very clean place that seems to put a lot of effort into ensuring that their customers are going to come back.
