  • Stocking: The last stocking of 1,000 lbs. was last week. The next catfish stocking will be the week of August 23rd. Another 1,000 pounds will go into the lake! For an updated stocking schedule, click HERE.
  • What's the catch? A variety of catches this weekend! The panfish are biting particularly from the shoreline in Siesta and Cloister Coves. There's a nice shelf along the shoreline opposite the boat dock that provides cover for redear and bluegill. Nightcrawlers are reeling them in. Keep an eye on the sunfish spawn, because the bass will be nearby! Anglers are using drop shot and green pumpkin Hogs and Roboworms. The catfish are biting in the evenings. Friday and Saturday nights have been productive. Mackerel and chicken livers are the baits of choice, but if those don't work for you try switching it up - spam, cheese, hot dogs can be effective baits as well.  
  • Lake Open on Labor Day: On Monday, September 6th the lake will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Boat rentals and launches are available. There are a few sites left in our campground for the holiday weekend. Click HERE to book a reservation.
  • Conditions: The current temperature is 80 degrees. New Moon is Sunday, September 6th. For a complete weather report in Lakeside, click HERE.
