Awesome! Thanks for all your reports

Great job out there. Thanks for the update.

Nice work Chuck!!

Nice angling as usual.

I’ll take quality over quantity any day. Bonus on topwater for sure

Nice going Chuck, it's nice to have someone around to take a Pic to show the full size of the fish!!!

Headed out right about 5:30 but the moon and cloudless sky made things pretty visible. Decided to stay in Hauser for the day and started in the coves on the north side to the right of the portapotty. Seemed like a good call as I got a first cast jerkbait fish followed by two more within 10 minutes ...

So I went back to Barrett…

This report(video) was from the hottest day of the year. I decided to head out just for a couple of hours before the furnace ignited. I got out on the water with only 1 other car at Pigs. I headed ...

Well, that's it for me for this year.

Got to the lake in the dark. Met Chuck and we had a nice time. Water temp was at 70F and by the end of my day it went to 73F. Light wind from the North early.

We were determined to catch fish on topwater and I'm happy to say it worked out. Chuck was getting ...

Another nice report from Barrett Dave. Thank you for always sharing your adventures.
You and many of the others that contribute to the Barrett reports looks like you guys always have some really fun times.
Catching lots of bass on so many different baits and really enjoy the great pics.
During the ...

Had some fun and some decent angling with my buddy Max at the Barrett closer today. Max got a couple nice four pounders before I even got warmed up. Not much topwater action for us today though. I had a steady pick on the mutilator mutilator and the new Yamamoto Slinko that I Carolina rigged. We got ...

Another year in the books.....indeed a fun one for me. I fished 12 times this season. Overall pretty good, it seemed that the average size/weight was a little smaller(for me). Still a ton of fun! This place is truly magical. I called Bryan Norris( 619.668.2014 [email protected]) to express my ...

Agree with 100%, including a bit smaller average. Just sets the stage for next year!

Today was a super nice day at the lake only thing missing the topwater.... can't wait till the lake opens next month... see you there bud

Thanks for a great post!

It was a really awesome day! Yes there was a legitimate 11.3 pounder caught. I myself reported to the group four fish over 5lbs, but in reviewing my saved scale numbers one of them was actually 4.8. My final numbers were 43 bass, 2 very large crappie and a slab of a ...

I had a great time out there yesterday! Was awesome to meet and fish with everyone. I can’t wait to get back to Barrett!

Yes! Believe it or not, that really is a Barrett bass. As I understand it, the ranger said that it may well be the lake record.

Thanks for the report! Can’t wait for opening. What was the water level like? Higher than when it closed last year?

Here’s the 11-pounder: https://www.instagram.com/share/BALeRznPic


Level was down a few feet but its happened gradually and hasn’t affected the bite negatively. Where the tree ...

Awesome day my brotha super nice video ....... one thing I did notice this time at barrett was like no other ..... no arguments, no bitterness everyone was happy to be there... 1st time I can actually say I caught over 70 fish in a day, stop counting around noon at 50 , and 1st time I can say a day ...

Had a lot of fun with my buddy Max yesterday at Barrett. We got 108 between us with Max getting the majority of them. One of the highlights of the day was him coaching me on jig fishing which produced the bigger models.
