Quick report, Im beat! Dawned it with another Barrett lover Dan and after a slow start things got interesting. Dan got 3 quick frog blow ups in mid Pine but couldn’t stick any. Big explosions tho. I retired my frog for a senko pretty quick and got on the board. Tried black n blue and it worked all ...

Well, it started out kind of rough, but it ended up being a good day. At zero dark thirty, there was a howling wind from the south south east. I tried my usual places but the wind was so strong that I would fly by anything perpendicular and into anything parallel before a proper cast was complete ...

Got out to the water around 5ish, this morning was a little off it was chilly, and windy had to throw the jacket on till about 7ish ,on the way to meet early release i threw the lizard around and hook 1 and mis a few bites once we meet up we search for some buster but ended up sailing around the ...

Only thing that bums me out is I made a little rod holder that I left on the boat. Definitely going back before the season ends

My buddy and I went Wednesday and had a good day with 61 between the two of us. Nothing really big but got 5 or ...

Got out nice and early as usual. Air was warm and so was the water ( 81F) with a light normal wind, instead of the annoying strong early winds that have been there.
Pedaled over to Becky’s cove and found the usual friends there with the usual popper. Took a page from Pourboy’s last video and decided ...

Headed out usual time with Dave and Steve, warm 70 degrees, light wind. The fishing in the morning has been slow, especially top water until daylight. My usual crawler, popper did most of the damage. Got a couple of 2s,3s and 4.9, the explosion on each is awesome! Also found an area where it was ...

Here are some pictures

Enjoyed watching you landing fish on top water while I roasted in the heat( just kidding) I managed 22 with a 4.6 and 3.8 but nothing on top this time

I didn't break the 3 pound mark, but had a lot of fun in the corner casting my Rapala at the clones. It was a mixed bag of 1 and 2 pounders and the occasional larger swimbait size bass. I mean a bass the size of a swimbait, not a bass that would eat a large swimbait. Ahaha. And keeping with the ...

Here's the update on 27 July. Got there at the usual time. Met a few of the usual suspects and we all headed out. Met one of the people on this site and had a nice chat. It was nice to meet you Steve. Warm at 0430 and the water was 79F. Very light and pleasant wind. Becky's cove has been busy lately ...

Second trip to Barrett. First trip two weeks ago. Totally unprepared and didn’t have a clue. Barely eked out 5.

This trip…I found this board. Talked to some frequently flyers at the dock and at the kayak launch. I just want to say thank you to everyone. You guys are so generous with your ...

Got out with the usual suspects, Dave and Steve. Much cooler than last week, 53 degrees, last week was 71 at 4:30am. Water level continues to drop, which could have caused the morning bite to be slower, that and the cooler weather. Did start to catch them on top when daylight came, a couple of ...

We got a full 14 hour day in on Sunday. A great day with 46 between us (you know, the same number that some of you catch individually when you haul your fancy kayaks out of the water by 11am). :o

Theo caught the biggest fish of the day before we left the dock at 5:30am. No scale, but this one was ...

Hello all,

Well it was a toasty day on the lake yesterday. Reasonable at predawn of 70F. Unreasonable at a little after lunch at 107F in my truck, cooled down to 99F driving. At 0430 water temp was 78F. Without a moon, it was pretty dark at that time and the sun isn't really doing much until about ...

Hello all,

Got out at the usual time, although it's staying dark for a while now. Water was 79, the air was still and pretty warm. Buzzed over to the other side of the lake and starting casting the pompadour at the shoreline and got the first fish at 0440. My nighttime photography skills are ...

Got out to the water around around 6ish on a solo mission when i was coming in i could see the boils from the top of the hill so i knew it was gonna be a good topwater day went straight for hausers. First cast i threw a lizard on the way to hauser and hooked up right away 2nd cast hooked up ...

Got out @4:30 with Steve, missing Dave this morning, surprisingly we were the only two at pigs. The water is down again since two weeks ago, headed to Becky’s and started picking them on popper and crawler. Sun came out and fish started busting everywhere, these were good size 2-3 lb on the spook ...

Was one of the last to depart this evening and encountered this road block. Cleared it the best I could to my left (so your right) on the edge of the road, but some was slightly sticking out still. It was very dead and fairly light, so a heavy wind could easily blow pieces back on the road. Exercise ...

Got out on the water at the usual time with Chuck and Steve. Water was a little cooler at 77F, it warmed to 81F by the time I left. Air was warm and a slight breeze. I think we can all start sleeping in, since it seems like very little happens in the dark, which it is until almost 0600.

Picked up a ...
