HUNTING/FISHING REPORT
Winter 24/25
HUNTING REPORT
Deer season is winding down and it has been a pretty successful season on the club. With a few weeks left, the harvest total is pretty close to last years total with 26 does harvested and 18 bucks. As with most years, there were several bucks killed the first few weeks of January as the bucks pursued hot does. Early to mid-January is always a great time to deer hunt at the club, you never know what you may see. Deer sightings have seemed to be on the rise this season, and that may be partly due to the controled burns done last year that further added to our habitiat diversity and added additional browse. The turkeys have seemed to enjoy it as well as turkey sightings have increased this fall/winter too.
FISHING REPORT
Lake Green - cold weather has made fishing sparse at the club, but in a few weeks, members should start creeping out of the deer woods and down to the lakes to fish. Last spring, Lake Green provided good crappie fishing. The lake is overrun with crappie and they need to be caught. If you have a free day, grab a jig head and chartruse grub and head down to Lake Green to try your hand at the crappie. in 2024, 1000 catfish were added to Lake Green and were fed from directional bank feeders located on the lake. There should be ample opportunity to catch good eating size catfish in 2025.
Lake Thomas - As with Lake Green, not a lot of action through the winter months. Stay tuned for spring update as fishing will heat up on Thomas.
Alligator Lake - In 2024, a livescope was used to assess the level of fish activitiy in the alligator lakes and it proved there was a very low population of fish. Many memebers made a concerted effort to stock fish caught from other lakes in the Alligator Lakes and hopefully we will see increased fish numbers going into 2025 in these lakes.
