San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

It's a stupid thing to do. I guess we aren't a demographic that they care about. If I could vote in San Diego, I'd be sure to vote against every one of them.

Could you imagine having a resource like Barrett and not be able to make any money off of it? Only the government could pull that off. It should be an asset, not a liability. What could the overhead be for a Wednesday out there? I can’t imagine they’re losing money every day that it’s accessible. It ...

Looks like you got some, nice work. I tubed out there once. Never again without a motor or a taxi arrangement. Got caught downwind a ways and almost killed myself kicking back lol.

For the rest of July and August Wednesday is back!!!! Can purchase on August Ticket day.

Not sure if it's correct but 7/8 tickets go on sale for September also.

The excitement of fishing Barrett sometimes makes people not think straight. We are ALL very lucky to experience that place, I invited the Council members who voted yes to override the mayor's veto to come experience Barrett. If I can get (some of) them out there they will be hooked for life ...

I had a great meeting with the City yesterday. A lot was discussed. Understand that the program at Barrett is truly unique to both hunters and fisherman. They want our input on what we like or dislike about it. The poll below is a question that was asked to me. After thinking about it I thought ...

Hard to believe the season’s already over. This was our third year of bass fishing, and it all started with our first trip to Barrett. Funny enough, I think the fishing was actually better in 2023 and 2024 than it was this year, but my numbers tell a different story. First season I was averaging ...

I’ve been out of town for the last couple of days but seeing at this rain coming down, hope Barrett gets its fair share and brings up the water level a few feet or more!

Water is getting close to the pine creek service road bridge. Water is still flowing good in horsethief canyon and all the springs up here are running good. Looking forward to Barrett this year.

Anticipation is running high... Let's go!
