Nice angling as usual.

Good report! Good assortment of topwater lures.

Another extra special Barrett day, especially on the jig! Pics of the main weapons below but it was almost impossible to get off the jig. Lots of doubles and steady action. All in Hauser today got 49 on the jig, 10 on the minnow mostly crisscrossing the arm but also dragging along banks, then two T ...

Got in line at 3:30. On the water in my tube before 5 and headed out. I had decided to main lake fish today and had planned out my spots. I caught only 1 at the launch, so I was kind of concerned. THE GOOD! Was at my first spot threw the Rat nothing, threw a small walking bait game on, lasted until ...

Just wanted to share a pic of a Barrett beauty caught today and PB by the way. Started at 4:40am fishing with my nephew. Ended the day with well over 50 between both of us. All clones 2-3 lb range and many dinks. All on DS, nedrig, small swim baits and occasional senko.

In line at 3:30 Dave and Chuck loaded and gone at Pigs. I take a while to pack the tube. Did my usual to get the skunk off before I set out, used my same texas rig from El Cap except no barb.. Lite wind already, headed across the lake. Topwater I had blow ups no solid hook ups, throwing the TR after ...

Dave and Chuck

Nice report Dave,

Like Chuck said our decision worked out yesterday. We stopped along the way at a couple spots and got lucky on the topwater. I always like to catch fish in the dark, it's more of surprise. The ones in rear Hauser were a bit skinny. This fish was 4 pounds 4 ounces with a 6 pound ...

Really cool running into some of the "Junkies" yesterday. We all spoke of what a special place that is and what a privilege to access it. The overall size of the fish have been getting smaller and smaller for me the last two outings....not to dink stage yet. I guess I have to fish deeper and slower ...

Got out early with 619bassin and Dfishin also Vince who's not on the site. Small crowd today. Day started out pretty warm with a light ESE wind. Water temp was about 78F at the surface.

Goal was to try some new baits and long story short, my favorites are still my favorites. Tried a couple times ...

Three trips to Barrett this year totaled about 250 LMB for me and Max. A little tougher today as we landed about 60 including a four pounder and a three pounder. Most of the fish though were what we affectionately call jumbo dinks. Tried topwater in the morning to no avail. We got most of our fish ...

It’s charity season at the Big B and was fortunate to get on the water yesterday. Some things never change and the bite was classic Barrett. We were mostly fishing worms and jigs on the bottom and it was very steady until we pulled the lines out at noon, getting 78 between us. We got a few on ...

I sent an email to PUD Lakes regarding this issue. TM dropped the ball again.. The shore/float tube reservations are now added to the que for purchase. good luck homies!

I wouldn’t worry about what WON says. If Ticket Master has tickets posted for sale on Sundays then I’m sure city lakes will have to honor that or refund the buyer.

FYI.......Barrett for 2026 season will open on May 6th, Wednesday. Closing date is Sunday, September 27th.

Ps The rumor going around that Barrett will not be open on Wednesdays is total BS, except for the first Wednesday of the month(excluding opening in May)
