I have actually been looking at the privatewaterfishing web site for a couple of days and find it really tempting to join. i actually called and talked to a manager there about the club. I asked about just paying a fee to fish one of the lakes and he said that the try out the lake deal wasn't for that purpose unless I was planning on joining the club. i live about 50 miles west of Fort Worth and most of the lakes are in East Texas. If I lived in East Texas i would join the club in a heart beat. Even if I only got to fish the lakes a couple of times a year it would be about the same as paying for a guided fishing trip on a public lake.
