I was a member for several years. Got out about 7 years ago, so take this in that context.
I assume you are interested in catching big bass. While I caught quite a few bass over 8 lbs., don't expect to do that every trip. After a few years, I switched my focus to shell crackers and bluegill. At that time, there were some whopper shell crackers. Since bass were required to be released, and I kind of lost interest in bass fishing, shell cracker and bluegill became my major focus. That being said, if you are a serious bass fisherman, it would not surprise me if the next state record, and possibly world record largemouth came from Donovan lakes.

Caught alot of bass. There are some biguns there just not caught by me.

the ones in Marion are $1K, so I guess the others are too.

So are these managed farm ponds or pretty decent sized lakes? I looked at the website. Looks interesting. I'm obviously not interested since I'm too far away but if they're large private lakes, over 10 acres, I'd be interested if I was closer.

I'm obviously not interested since I'm too far away but if they're large private lakes, over 10 acres, I'd be interested if I was closer. Just heard back today. 8 lakes total. Size ranges from 6-40 acres.
