A Sportsman’s ticket, that is only good for 6 hours
of fishing and NO jackpots for $10, And a Pay

lakes, and the owners encourage families
to come out for a day or night, of family fun!
The popular Saturday night tournaments will be
held again this year from 8pm to midnight. The
entry fee is only $10 in addition to your pay
laker’s ticket, with 100% of the entry fees being
paid back for biggest fish caught each hour.
Dailey Double Paylakes are stocked full of
fat, healthy fish that are ready to put up a
fight on the end of your line. These are spring
fed lakes which experience very little fish kill.
The big ones are still in there just waiting to be
caught. The lakes and grounds are kept clean,
and the baithouse is open during all lake hours,
and stocked with a variety of snacks from chips
to sandwiches to pizza. Hot coffee and other
drinks are always available, and there is always
someone ready to get bait, weigh your fish and
take a picture of you and your catch.
Operating hours are Thursday noon to
Sunday noon, and we look forward to seeing
you this season!

eating the bait, which gives the angler the best
possible hookset. With a turn of the handle the
spool engages for you to land the fish.
Hey, bass anglers! Hornbeck’s has Bait Balls.
