Looking for the best catfishing & carp fishing pay lakes in America! 

   

Pay fishing lakes offer some of the best cat fishing and carp fishing available in the United States of America. They are usually stocked weekly and have good concentrations of Catfish and Carp! Per acre, they are stocked annually with 80% to 90% more fish than any state lake or public reservoir would offer ! The catfish are healthier and better for you to eat than river fish. Most stock farm raised grain feed catfish for you to keep, just like the ones you get in fine restaurants. Unlike government lakes, pay lake owners have to make the Cat fishing and Carp fishing good or they will go out of business. Pay lakes are the wave of the future for our catfishing & carp fishing industry. They are responsible for keeping thousands of fisherman actively into Catfishing & Carp fishing. Banks are usually easily accessible which is also great for anglers with handicaps, and the snag/hang up rates are low.

If you know of one that's not listed here, please let us know about it. These listings are free for all pay lakes. If you own an Indiana pay lake and would like for us to build you a free website, please contact us at indianafishing@hotmail.com .

I do several pay lake websites and enjoy doing them.

Indiana Pay Lake News

Indiana catfishing, Indiana carp fishing

Up-Dated Jan. 3, 2009 Please call before you go, just to make sure they are open ! Most of the pay lakes have already closed, and others have gone to fall hours.

It is best to call the lakes before you head out to make sure they are open and what hours of operation they have. If you know of a pay lake not listed below, please let us know, these listing are free.

Like-wise if you see one listed on here that is out of operation and closed, please let us know so that we can delete it.

There are a few pay lakes, like Indy Lakes pay lake and RV campgrounds in Indianapolis that we do not recommend because of a dispute we have received from at least one or more of our members concerning the fishing pools and money pay-outs. Others maybe marked because of bad fishing reports or lake conditions and cleanliness. Most of these are marked. I do not recommend Indy lakes in Indianapolis.

I'll say this again ! We do advise you to call the pay lakes before you go so that you can be assured they are open.

Indy Lakes Pay Lakes, Indy Lakes, Inc., indy lakes

I do not recommend fishing at Indy Lakes on the south side of Indianapolis.

I  WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS INDY LAKES PAY LAKE TO FISH AGAIN, AS LONG AS IT'S RUN UNDER THE SAME MANAGEMENT !!

THEY LIED TO ME !!

There has been a conflict with the catching of a catfish and the catfish pools that are run at Indy Lakes.
The angler was told he had won, they even figured it up and told the angler how much money he had won, and then they took it away and refused to pay out !!!
That angler feels like he was lied to and cheated, and can you blame him !!! This angler will never go back or fish there again !!!
This angler even was going to let them donate his winnings to Riley Kid's Hospital, but they still would not pay out ! I sort of figured that would solve the problem and give them a big tax write-off, but they would not go for that. 

I have also seen a few other complaints about this sort of thing happening to other anglers who fish at this pay lake.

If they do this to you, please feel free to file a complaint with the Indiana State Attorney Generals office at: http://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral Others already have.

Likewise if you see a health factor such as stinking restrooms, people urinating in the grass, lots of dead fish floating in the water, health violations and such: Please contact:

Contact DNR Indiana catfishing, Newburgh dam on the Ohio river, Ohio river fishing Indiana Jig Fishing There seems to be one thing most Hoosier anglers do that isn't quite right. That's how they fish a jig. Most fish it faster than they should. Jigging can produce a nice quantity of bass but it's main goal is to produce quality bass. In The Spring Fish brush, lily pads that are just coming up, boat docks and rocks. Try fishing shallow water, it warms up fastest. Fish with a 1/2 ounce jig tipped with pork. In The Summer Now is when most anglers go to a faster moving lure, you should try jigging. Fish creek beds, channels, grass and lily pads. In The Fall Try fishing jigs around wood. Logs, stumps, boat docks and downed trees are good places to fish your jig this time of year. Also try the lily pads that are dying off. In The Winter Rivers are great for winter fishing. Try to find slow moving water in the 3 to 9 foot range. A heavier jigs like a 3/8 ounce tipped with pork works good. Deep water can find schools of bass in slow moving water. Jigging can be one of the best bass producing methods if you fish it slow enough. Keep the jig in front of the fish, move it very slow and you'll have good results if there are fish to be caught.

It only takes a minute or two to join the site, so why not do it now JOIN HERE Indiana crappie fishing. Early spring crappie fishing in the Hoosier state. One of the most fulfilling activities for many people is spring crappie fishing. This is the time of year that my son has a huge interest in going fishing with Dad. Cabin fever has been prevalent for several months and as the ice lifts off the local waters and temperatures start to rise, the ever-so-active crappie nears spawning time. As spring draws near crappie move toward their spawning areas. If you are a fisherman who enjoys crappie fishing and has chased them before, you know that springtime offers up the hottest crappie fishing of the year. Let's not forget that about the time the crappie bite really gets good, those tasty morel mushrooms are also popping up. Most Hoosier anglers enjoy spring crappie because they tend to migrate to shallower water and this alone cuts down on your search time. Instead of holding on hidden cover, crappie will tend to move to shallow treetops and stump fields, riprap banks and docks, many of which are visible, often in the backs of creeks or coves and usually fairly close to a lake's banks. Besides the fact that they are shallow, spring crappie tend to stack up, so where you hook into one big fish, the chances are extremely good that you are going to catch a bunch of them. Overall, finding crappie and catching a big bag of slabs are at their best this time of year. One thing you need to remember. You must present what the Indiana crappie wants to eat. Don't be fooled into thinking that catching springtime crappie is like pulling fish from a bucket. The shallower flats and shoreline areas of most lakes still constitute a lot of water. Even if you find the right bank to work, it is necessary to observe the surrounding environment and make the most educated pattern presentation possible. Crappie are still a bit lethargic this time of year, so your bait must be presented at the proper depth and as close to the fish as possible, since they are not in the mood to go chasing anything around as of yet. The spring migration to the spawning areas is gradual and the crappie will tend to migrate gradually into the shallows and back out over the course of a few months. The exact timing of their moves varies from lake to lake and even from year to year within the same lake, depending on winter and spring weather conditions. In other words, if we have an early spring with nice warm days in March, you can expect to catch crappie in the conditions described above. Crappie will begin moving from their deep main lake winter holding areas sometime very early in the spring. They use structures like channel ledges, humps and long points as staging areas, keying on any brush or stumps. Bass tend to have the same behavior during the pre-spawn period when they are starting to line up around cover that is usually adjacent to their spawning areas. They gradually move shallower and shallower and typically work toward the backs of creeks, coves and narrow lake arms. Throughout this migration pattern, both to and from their spawning grounds, crappie will move extra shallow with a string of sunny days and move deeper with each late season cold front. Regardless of water depth they almost always find rocks, brush or some kind of cover to hold around. That cover provides protection, and it attracts the minnows which a crappie likes to eat. Usually you need to have a few nice warm days strung together for the shallow water action to fully take place, but the air temperature does not have to actually warm up as much as you might think. As long as the sun shines brightly it will warm shallow areas, especially those that are surrounded by riprap or natural rocks. Water that is slightly stained and filled with wood and rocks to soak up the suns rays will heat up much quicker. When those first warm days occur, the crappie will still be holding on fairly deep structure and they will not move far just to feed. At this point, if the water temperature continues to increase, they will start chasing down their food within a few more weeks. Typically, shallow Indiana hotspots that lie quite close to deep water will draw fish. Bridges or structures that run across major channels and the shallow ends of long points provide easy travel routes for the crappie from the depths to good shallow cover. Because areas that offer the necessary range of depth, along with good cover, and the required quality for the water to warm slightly are obviously limited in numbers, those spots can be golden in early spring. At this time crappie tend to feed more on minnows than on jigs and they won't chase anything. Most of the best spots during this part of the season are limited in number and size, so the majority of the searching will be through different depths. A basic cork rig, with a float, split shot, No. 4 or 6 hook and live minnow, is tough to beat. Just flip the bait out and let it settle, and then experiment with different depths until you start getting bites. If you purchase a second rod stamp, you might want to try two poles at the same time at various depths. This method will tend to cut your search time down a bit. As spring progresses and temperatures continue to warm, crappie will move to the tops of ledges and begin pushing into the creeks. They move shallow to feed more frequently, and the shallow areas they use on the warm spring days become much more widespread. Finding at least a few fish becomes somewhat less of a challenge, but they often aren't quite as concentrated as those first wonderful days of spring. The best cover is still fairly close to deep water. Flats that are dissected by major channels and banks near the mouths of creeks will always hold a lot of crappie, especially on warm days when the fish have just begun their migration toward the spawning grounds. Warmer weather and sunrise are still the keys to finding crappie in the shallows, but such days are quickly becoming the norm instead of the exception. Floats or bobbers still come into play for finding crappie at this time of the year, but some of the best angling approaches are a little more active. The fish can be spread out, calling for searching type tactics. By now the water will have warmed enough so that the fish will chase a minnow or jig, as long as it is not moving too quickly. When I speak of a jig, I am talking about small 1 ½ to 2" plastic tube or small plastic curly tail on a jighead that is weighted. A float offers two major advantages at this time of year, whether you are fishing with jigs or minnows. It allows you to control and track depths, making it easy to identify the productive zone and keep baits in it, and allows you to move the lure or bait slowly, even stopping it along the way, which can be essential for getting crappie to strike early in the year. When the crappie are spread across shallow flats and could be holding on any of hundreds of stumps or brushpiles, provided you have a water vessel of some type, trolling comes into play. For shallow flats, corks remain part of the equation, and setting different lines at different depths will again help identify patterns much more quickly. Keep a marker buoy handy any time you troll and toss it out any time you get more than one strike in a small area. If you find a real hotspot don't anchor right over it especially if the water is shallow. Try to anchor a good cast away from the area so the fish won't feel invaded or spooked. As spring warms even more, crappie will move farther up the creeks. Now is when they will spend most of their time close to the banks or on cover along shallow flats. This would be a great time to try a lure like the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap in the 1/4oz and 1/8oz sizes. Because all fish don't move at the same time, crappie will be widespread by mid-spring. The creeks will hold the most fish, by far, with concentrations well up them, but some crappie will show up around any shoreline tree, dock or riprap. Eventually the crappie will spawn and then they will start to move back toward deeper water. The journey out is gradual and some of the early season's patterns and hotspots will turn on once again as spring gives way to summer. Fish are much more aggressive throughout late spring as their body temperatures have risen. They are much more willing to take a bait as it is moving, and they will typically grab a jig as readily as a minnow or small baitfish imitation. Throughout the crappie run a few things will help you catch more fish. First, the best spring spots are much more distinguishable on a map than on the water. If you can find a good Indiana topographical map, spend time studying it before your first trip and identify some potentially good areas to hit as spring progresses. Next, pay attention to the water color, as crappie will hold much shallower when the water is stained than when the water is clear. Also as I have mentioned in previous articles, stained water warms faster than clear water. Finally, crappies of the same size tend to hang out together. If the fish that keep taking your baits are smaller than the legal limit size, move on. If you catch a nice large crappie, pay close attention to the conditions and work this pattern over and over again. This should produce great results. Springtime, with its constantly changing temperatures, brings the best opportunity for most fishermen to catch a limit of slab crappie. Using these patterns will hopefully help you catch your limit. One important item to remember is that a crappie's mouth is paper thin and a hard hookset could severely damage the fish, and disturb their eating habits, if you are practicing catch and release. Have fun guys and gals and I truly hope you catch a bunch of crappies this season! Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.
