I got Hauser, which I didn't mind since I knew it a little bit better than Pine.

Had about 50 or so fish, not counting the dinks that were a pound or less. Very impressed at the average size. Quite a few of those were 3 to 4 pounds. If I hadn't had to race to the DFW gentleman once I had 3 or 4 ...

It was a great day on Sunday. We caught 70 fish with most between 2 to 4 lbs. We fished the very back of Hauser where the water was 67. Green pumpkin chaterbaits with a small pumpkin fluke, Mega bass jerkbaits and 1/16 oz Hookup baits in natural shad, watermelon/red flake Paca craw, texas rigged ...

You are welcome.

They bring me up to get the motors all running before everyone shows up a week before the event. We had 6 problem motors that did not want to start but got them all up and running. Lori was pretty surprised to hear that.

All in all, a great weekend but the congratulations all go ...

Hey, I looked at it and practiced a little and I’m in for opening day. Maybe I was lucky but it was real easy. First opening day in a few years and really looking forward to it.

Bass were healthy and hungry. Caught a bunch of huge bluegill also.

Best bite is from 6-6! lol

I had times where dropshot was getting bit on every cast for a while. My wife said I was just catching the same fish. So I let one flop around while I hooked another one to prove her wrong.

Hey John, good chatting.... We had an awesome day on Saturday -- not a record day for bass, but any day on Barrett is awesome. I was all geared up for top water and busters, but they were interested in slow presentations. Once I figured that out, I landed 11 bass but nothing particularly large ...

Interesting. That story is on here from the “horse’s mouth”and there wasn’t a scale used…..pretty accurate weight for no scale and the fact they say “the scale said”

I think this is the first time anyone has asked this question regarding Barrett.

"If im trying to rob a bank, how can i tell if the cops are around?"

"Uh, how about not rob a bank?"

The fight continues.....I guess this is what retirement is all about. I requested a 1 on 1 with the Mayor and yesterday received an email that the request was granted.....just waiting for the date and time from his office. Stay tuned.

Finally, after 1 or 2 hours each weekend, and 2 months later, I have completed my boater card courses and final exam. I missed only 1 question regarding the light color for full access in a lock. The answer is "amber", i knew this but answered green. I looked it up and the internet is saying green ...

Correction FY 2026 budget announced April 15th......stay tuned.

FYI......Barrett is normally closed the 1st Wednesday of the month, but not opening month. The increases they are proposing will not go into effect until July if they passed them....will know very soon.....stay tuned.

Awesome day I arrived 10:30 pm Tuesday night 6 trucks in front of me . Met some cool guys talking in line . 4:30 am we're heading to the dock . 25 minutes later both my buddy and I are hooked up . Fishing on fire within an hour we have 20 fish each . In the morning I throw 4" senkos set up Neko ...

Another one (youtube) went up after this weekend. Maybe time for the admins to step in. The group here is looking for helpful intel, not videos begging for views or bragging stories.

Yea I know that for me (us), we all use separate golf click counters and we don’t “click” off, till it’s lipped. I see others saying “oh, about xx#’s”, that means they’re guessing at best. I discount their claims right off the bat!

Before we started to use the clickers, we know it’s very easy to ...

It boggles my mind why someone would feel the need to post a fake report- especially Barrett?

It’s Barrett, it’s an amazing fishery.

Maybe some feel they need to embellish numbers like lost count over 100… maybe insecurities, justifying far drives from out of town with a lot of expenses? Who ...

My 1st time at barret was a few years ago during opening month .. and I was only able to land 7 bass(biggest about 2lbs) the next few times I only landed 10-15 fish a trip (all day) I remember saying to myself "why all the hype " and ''there's no way people catch 100 fish a day".... fast forward a ...
