OUTING: John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular, 2024-04-13-0700 (Updated 2024-03-17)

This is THE family friendly event of the year!

Join us for our annual fun family fishing event and lunch on Saturday, 13th of April, at Damon Seven Lakes. If you’re lucky, you can earn the chance to capture the John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular Trophy!

Fishing from the shore, but kickboat, canoe, and/or kayak are quite successful.

Contrary to the name there are now nine different, unique lakes of good size that hold largemouth bass, tiger bass, catfish, black crappie, and bluegill. Catching bass in the three to five pound range is a normal occurrence. Twelve pound bass, decent channel cats, and twelve inch bream have been caught in the last four years.
