Theo just keeps adding on!! Good job both of you It is a puzzle to solve every trip. We have been lucky to find the same lures working the last 2 trips but do not expect that to continue.

Left for the lake at 3am. Japatul Police with flashing lights says to back to the 8 freeway side so I did and it ended up having a road closed sign. So I went home back to bed and when I got up I checked for updates and seen that people were at Barrett. So I headed back out and figured out what was ...

Nice fish I’m glad you had a happy ending for the trip . That wind is pretty bad in the afternoon, good luck out there man.

Theo is a crackup and can flat out fish!

Hows the road from Lyons to Pigs? Haven’t been yet this year but by the end of last year that road damn near tore my car apart

I doubt they have touched it since opening and its getting worse by the day.

This is Theo just telling ya good job catching your
Own fish and also nice fish btw but ya still were
fishing in MY SPOT byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

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 ...

Tried a different approach to Barrett—family outing. It worked!

Problem statement: we were a small group on Sunday with varied interests — me and Theo like both fishing and catching, my other son Julian gets bored fishing but likes catching, Theo’s buddy is a “spirited” 9 year old who likes to ...

One more thing they moved the dock. So Theo will have to find a new spot!
My spelling sucks!

Not gone. Just repositioned to align with the lower water level.

Shawn you are the best!! The patience of a saint. Your…correction, their day could not have been more memorable. Bravo!

You are the man! Thanks for sharing.

I fished top water first around 5 am just barley able to see the sticks. Not getting the love on the little walking bait, so the whopper plopper did the job. They were all over it. One hit it loaded up set the hook as it jumped WP came flying out and stuck in my bare foot. Look down 1 hook buried ...

Nice they didn't sell boat tickets. Early ready for the top water like last times and nothing. Well I got 1. Water is down another foot from last week. I was wondering if this was going to be a day I don't hit the Barrett goal. I finally found some bitters on DS, jig and split shot rig 15 to 25'. I ...

Nice job Big D. Good to hear that some of them are getting fatter.

Yes indeed, fun day yesterday at the Big B. Could not break the 3 lb mark but lost a few that were pretty big. Not too hot(yet)....perfect conditions.
Only a few boats....screw up with Ticketmaster. I am going to recommend that the City look into a different ticketing company(or way). Ticketmaster ...

Definitely looking healthier!! Good job to both you and Tommy

Question…why would they draft from an already low Morena and just leave Barrett be?

Drinking water......The City is trying to use all of it it has before buying from any of the Water Distributors because it has become so expensive. There is a point though that the water is tested and when levels become almost deadpool it dosen't test drinkable. I have my super tube with a motor ...

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.
