Carp Fishing and Catfishing at Red’s Lake – Welcome to Red’s Lake!
We feature 3 pay ponds on our countryside property. 2 tournament ponds are stocked for catch and release carp tournaments (with buffalo too!) and our 3rd pond is a “fun fishing” carp and catfishing lake which does allow for some take-home catfish and is a great way to practice your carp fishing skills! All of our lakes are bank fishing and we feature a stocked convenience shop with baits and snacks. During kitchen hours, you can order a delicious burger and more, made to order.
We are located at: 1031 W Macedonia Church Rd, Oxford, GA 30054 (East of Atlanta, South of Loganville, North of Covington.)

Carp “Fun Fishing” in the first 2 ponds: Available during selected tournaments for $20 and does not include tournament entry. Please check Facebook for current week’s schedule. If a tournament has 40+ anglers, fun-fishing will not be allowed in the carp/buffalo ponds. Fun-fishers must wait until after the tournament draw to choose where they want to fish.
3rd Pond Carp and Catfishing: This “Fun Fishing” is available during any hours we are open for tournaments. (See above). Our 3rd pond is stocked with carp and catfish and is not a part of the tournaments in the first 2 ponds. Your $20 fee includes your 3 poles and up to 10 lbs catfish you can take home, that you have caught, for no additional charge. This pond is a great way to sharpen your skills or learn as a beginner.

Here’s some of what we are talking about now

We’ve had several messages: The lake will not be open tonight.
We will let everyone know when a decision is made.
What decision
When do y’all stock the tournament ponds, and the pond in the back? Do you post when it is stocked? We always catch lots of catfish at the non-tournament pond.. last time we went it was kind of dead, so it would be good to know! Thanks we enjoy fishing there
Thanks for the update
Update on the lake: It’s doing good.
We have 4 paddle wheels going between both lakes, 4 top aerators, and a huge diesel-fueled air compressor pumping to the bottom of the lake.
We’ve had someone test-fishing this evening and they caught several fish in a relatively short amount of time. His exact words were “they’re starting to rip”.
We did salt the lake Tuesday. We have done this in previous summers and it has never impacted the lake like this. The water temperature is 90 degrees.
As far as the chow goes, we sold 4 small bags of chow Friday. Very little chow is actually being thrown. There IS a lot of grits being thrown.
We cut off chow last summer, and had numerous complaints of people fishing with chow. There is no way to bait check every single bucket. We do not want you guys to get cheated.
Fact: Chow is the BEST thing for the health of the fish. It is fish food! There is an enormous amount of fish in the lake, bait is not sitting on the bottom of the pond rotting like we have seen suggested. We have tested this theory.
We have had LESS fish deaths this year than ever before.
We understand your theories and concerns, the fish will be back to ripping for everyone soon. We will make an announcement soon when we are reopening. (Monday or Wednesday.)
Thank you for all the support and understanding. There will be ups and downs when there are this many fish in a pond.
Feel free to message me directly if you have any concerns.

It isn't just your pond I been to 2 different ponds this past weekend that the fish has been ripping in and they was slow Friday night and last night even the bass fishing on the lakes is slow right now
That's awesome it's just so hot, its hard on the lake. Maybe figure some way to get some fresh water circulating through the lakes. Use to be a pump at the third lake circulating water to the first pond. Anyway good luck 🤞 we had the best time at Conyers cove last night. Won first and ripped the fish.
Where do we sign up to test fish lol! Glad it's getting better!
Common sense says oxygen is the biggest factor of fish biting, or not, in the Summer.
Thank you Jason Carver for proving it wasn't the chow
My take is when you’re fishing it(throwing bait) 5 days a week), there not going to be hungry,
Thanks for caring as you always do
Well i do no I was catching grass when i reeled in. The bloom is bad in all the lakes. But it needs salt all the time. One thing nc lakes do is put that salt to them.
💪🏼
Water temps rising definitely doesn't help
AWESOME... THANK YOU SIR.
They should give them fish a break until Friday! Just my opinion.
Can’t wait to get back at it
Red’s Lake is closed for the rest of the weekend, but Conyers Cove is open for fun-fishing until 3am. There is a tournament option tonight. (18 minute drive from here.)
This content isn't available right now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.So I had went to Conyers yesterday for 3 hours and didn’t catch a single fish so I think you need to restock it
