Got it I think I will do the same and should be okay. Thx.

Barrett does fiberglass boats now? Looks like pics from different trips/lakes. Why post pics from last years trip???
viewtopic.php?t=1988

Well the fiberglass boat pic is gone, still all different pics from different days/years. No need to embellish a Barrett report… the pics question the validity of the overall report.

I was surprised to get a boat ticket since I logged in from work to do it...don't tell my boss...but I did so day before Fathers day I went (no, not with my kids they don't fish much), but with my buddy Chris. Started in the fog...just a bit but it was chilly. I guess we are late starters since we ...

Nonstop Topwater & Jigs! The Barrett 1-2 Punch!

OK, take two!

After just doing a full write up of the day and everything the website logged me out and I have to do it again. But that’s OK because it was such a fun day. I don’t mind telling the story again. After ...

Got out at 0430 with Chuck and Joe. Of course we all headed different ways, Chuck to a cove where he had success last week and I pedaled to Becky's cove. Joe passed me on the way to Hauser and that was the last I saw of him today. Air was a little chilly at 54F, slight wind, but water a pleasant 75 ...

Nice
Good seeing you guys again
Ended getting a few to eat the frog in the back
Wolfpack showed up mid lake and were eating small 2.5 inch swimbait

Even with the wind I managed to kept the popper going all day. Biggest was 4.5, ended up @40 mostly top water and spooks

Good day on the water at Barrett for Saturday. Got out dark and early which is my favorite. Water was already at 74F and the air was probably about 60 F. Slight chop from that evening wind. What was fun was the moon was so bright it almost was light enough. See first picture, that's not a sun, that ...

Short report today. Chuck and I got out there at the usual 0430. What was unusual was the there was a steady wind already. Water temp was at 76F. Went to the usual places, but they were a bit windblown and the kayak was hard to keep still. Chuck stayed on the Becky's cove side of Hauser and I went ...

Got to water with Dave @4:30, unusually windy but managed to get them on the crawler, a couple of 3 pounder.
Headed back to Hauser after Dave left and started with the frog, dragging it over the thick mat of cheese and when there’s a water opening the bass would explode on it. Gotta have braided ...

Yeah, without braid I'd not of landed half my topwater bass either (hollow bodied and boot foot frogs). The slime covers most the underwater shoreline bushes, and they head right for it after hooksets. Thanks for the heads up on that pattern 619. Ended w/ 15, all top but one on a follow-up Senko ...

Hello all,

Got out at dark with pond_prowler_619, Ismael. Air temp was 56F, and the water 76F. Unlike Wednesday, there was just the light normal breeze that Barrett gets. I was already hopeful. Headed over to the opening of Hauser, but there were a couple of people there already, so I changed up ...

Hey Barrett crew, posting this late report for Wednesday June 19:

With the help of the great guidance provided here (thanks again to those who responded to my "fishing identity crisis" post), I felt like we were starting to get our groove on again!

Me and my son got on the water on the late side ...

Lots' of fun till about 10:00AM. Actually caught 5 good bass before my Buddy even had a bite. Top that off, caught that first bass on my first cast with a new rod and reel setup. Yes it was good luck because I caught the next four in quick succession. Senko fishing was a bit tuff with all the shore ...

Too old to fish all day anymore. Not that long ago it was 7AM to 8PM. Now afternoons only.

Bass not feeding like they were last two times out, but got quality. Many days in my 30 years fishing Barrett I've had 40 plus days, but out of the 40 maybe 2 or 3 maxed at 2.50 pounds. Sunday my 1st fish ...

Had good intel from Early Release that Barrett is being drawn down for the benefit of Otay. With Otay at near 96% full, I can’t imagine why, but when did any SD Water decision ever make sense?? Well I confirmed the drop today (at least 2ft since Wed) and it had its predictable effect on the fishing ...

Hey Barrett crew,

Me and my sons (8 & 10) were on the water by about 5:30am Wednesday and fished until 7pm. Long, hot day with a big surprise waiting for us at the dock. We were lucky enough to meet up with JWall and his lovely wife Cynthia in the middle of the Pine arm, and while we did see plenty ...

Got on the water @4:30 with Dave and Steve, and it was already 70 degrees! The water is down @10 feet since two weeks ago, headed to Becky’s. For the first 2-3 hours I got skunked, which was really puzzling, Dave wasn’t doing great either. The lower water must’ve drove the bass deeper and the green ...
