On-Site Boat Information
-
Although the 15-foot jon boat (with seating, hand-control trolling motor, and battery) is normally included in your reservation, it is temporarily unavailable at this time.
- If you do end up using the jon boat in the future, the seats can be found in the trash can by the launch.
Nearby Amenities
- No on-site lodging, but Henderson is just 6 miles away, offering several hotel options (including Holiday Inn Express).
Trolling Motor Tips
- If you’re unfamiliar with bow-mounted, hand-control trolling motors, reach out to the club office for guidance on setup and use.
- If the motor loses power, it may mean one battery is drained; simply switch the red dial from “1” to “2” or vice versa to continue fishing.
Whether you’re seeking trophy bass or simply craving a peaceful day on the water, East & West Lakes promise an exceptional fishing experience in a truly serene setting. Book your trip today and discover why these lakes are considered some of the finest in the region!
