I agree, but he said he's looking for something close to carrollton, and Winder is nowhere near Carrollton.

no my friend, unethical is raping our public waterways for trophy flatheads and bluecats to throw into a pond not nearly big enough to sustain them. Charge all the trailor park milwaukee light drinkin wt to stand neck to neck on the bank $10 to catch em over n over again. These fish don't belong in a pay pond.......have you ever caught them in their natural habitat?

Have to agree w/ a bass man here. I grew up fishing paylakes, heck our tournament series team name is Team Hold EM Hook which originated at Twin Lakes. We would go at noon on Friday and stay till Sunday morning. Won a lot of money and caught some good fish. On the other hand I can't begin to tell how many 10's of thousands of fish I have seen die in these paylakes. I will still go to 1 about 5 times a year if I have nothing better to do but would rather go to Lanier or Nottley and FISH for catfish. These paylakes are the reason for the laws being passed in SC,AL,TN and many other states with more on their way. Why take a 30-50 year old fish from the Tn river Miss River to be placed in a pond to probably live one year if they are lucky. There was a fish at Twin Lakes weighed 53lbs when stocked(Flathead) this fish was marked when caught (several times) the last time it weighed in the upper 30's. Why not catch you a deer, fence it in at the walmart parking lot. No difference, they are out of their environment, poor water conditions, and over fished. Paylakes are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Regardless of Milwaukee best, bud light, or crown royal most of the paylakes I have been to usually was just a place where you could go with your buddies, maybe catch a fish and get tore up. When it got to the point I can't carry my wife or kids with me due to the drunkenness and vulgarity at 90% of the paylakes I'll take em out in the boat and we might or might not catch something and have a good time regardless.

You brag about all the money you won at the paylake, There will be a tournament at Santee Cooper September 26, goes from 7:30 am Saturday till 12PM Sunday http://www.randolphs-landing.com/tour/index.htm
This is a personal invite to come up and try and win the money there. Come fish for true catfish, heck visit Ken Freemans website and give him a call and come on out to Memphis TN and fish in October. I guarantee that if you fish a few of these tournaments, you wold have a different opinon on the paylakes and how good you are.

As has already been said, Demoonies in College Park is probably the nearest to Carrollton, however check with the Flying S Ranch Lake in Villa Rica (if it's still open); there may be carp there...you just asked about paylakes, but don't forget, Lake Carroll has carp too.
