SWEET!!

Holy crap All on top water? that truly was an epic day !! Congrats

First I’d like to thank Dave G and Laurie for helping set this up. I have been fishing with Tony for a few months, he has Stage 4 Lung Cancer and needed some time on the water. I have been fishing Newport Bay with him, kind of training him to fish for Largemouth Bass. The skills you learn from ...

Well, Barrett of old is back as far as I am concerned. Chuck got 50 fish on Wednesday and yesterday I pulled in 40, 2 giant bluegills and lost more than I care to count. Water temp was 72-74 in the beginning of the day, warmest I saw was 79 in the shallow bays, by 1130. I also talked to a couple ...

Headed out to Hauser first light and found them biting flukes good. First cast magic with a surface explosion and all. The girl got 4 pretty quick and I eventually caught up. Anywhere from the shore out to 8-10ft and around submerged trees. Things slowed a bit when the sun came out and I decided to ...

Hi all,

Got on the water at 0420 today. Slight wind making a small chop on the water then. Pedaled over to Hauser and Becky's cove for the first light, which took a while. Whole lot of nothing. Zip. Nada. Of course on my first cast I had a boil that almost pulled my kayak in, so then I was ...

Headed out to Big B on Saturday a lot of kayakers out there and me and my daughter found a school of bait fish and schools of bass at the chomp. We ended up with about 50 or so between the both of us.we had an awesome time and it was her first time on the kajak so that was awesome. All on topwater ...

Still working on quantity but quality is way up! Was on the lake 420 at Pine Arm by 445. Got some dropshot in the water and caught one with the stars still out! That was really fun. Then moved deeper into Pine and saw some boiling that I was able to put a white/chartreuse jackhammer on. Didn't weigh ...

Chuck, I owe this success to you. It is so much fun to catch them on the crawler. Before long, I'm sure you will see me using the megabass crawler.

I was stoked to hear about the Bug, had mine for years and have only thrown it couple of times.I was in the water about the same time down Hauser way and crushing big ones, same way double twitch and Bam . Can't wait to get back . GETT'EN BUGGY WITH IT

Was lucky and got boat tickets for Saturday and Sunday .
First trip this season for us ..
Camped at the Skyline RV Ranch , only a few minutes from the front gate. Up at 03:30 to the gate at 04:00 that’s way better than a 3 hour drive ..! Limited cell service, good power and water no issues, super ...

Hello all,

Barrett was a bit quiet for me today. Got on the water at 0430 as planned, pedaled over to Pine Arm with a plan to fish all the little bays and alcoves on the west side of pine arm. I also was doing a little testing and was trying some new lures and colors. Maybe I should change only one ...

Hello all,

Barrett provided today. Here's the details though. Met Chuck at 0415 at pigs and we went our separate but similar ways, knowing we'd meet up later. At 0430 there was that light wind from the north and temp was already warm. Water temp was 80. I went to the mouth of Hauser and Becky's ...

Fished last Wed and the one before, very hot, but good topwater action helps me forget about it.

Oh, the road is in terrible shape, thought it was just me, got worse in one week, and Laurie asked me to ask YOU to petition the city to get it graded.

Food for thought – not really trying to rub people the wrong way or start a huge internet discussion - just giving another very important perspective.

The easiest thing to do for the city is to shut it down so keep that in mind before you start blowing up the city. This is a really valid point and ...

glad to be able to help you ohttps://www.sdfish.org/download/file.php?mode=view&id=2558ut,it was a special trip fishing with my daughter as always a great day at barrett

Hello all,

Here's my report on Barrett today. Got there at the usual time and got on the water right at 0430. Pedaled over to Hauser, and started throwing noisy topwaters in the dark. Heard some thunder and saw some flashes in the distance. Had some light rain in the dark by me. Kept working back ...

Hi everyone,

Here's my report of the day. Woke up and was moving like a man of a much more advanced age, so it took more than the usual cup of coffee to get myself in the truck. Got on the water about 30 minutes late, But it still was dark and strangely cool out. Pedaled over to Hauser, with my ...

Hello all,

Here's what I saw at Barrett this Wednesday. Got there at 0415, on the water at 0445, once again moving as if I had all day. Air temp wasn't bad, wind was pretty light also. Water temp at Pigs, was 78.3F. Caught first fish at 0500, which was nice. It always feels better after you have ...

Hi,

Quick report for today. Arrived later in the morning, 0700, met my buddy Jim and pedaled over to Hauser. Air temp was mid 70s F I think, water temp was 77F. Jim held a seminar on fishing offshore structure with a jig and boated 7 fish before I even got started. I pedaled around and picked up 1 ...
