Got out on the water at the usual time with Chuck and Steve. Water was a little cooler at 77F, it warmed to 81F by the time I left. Air was warm and a slight breeze. I think we can all start sleeping in, since it seems like very little happens in the dark, which it is until almost 0600.

Picked up a ...

Usual time with Dave and Steve, warm morning, bite was slow, could be because of the full moon or lower water. An occasional busters, but not like last week. Finally found an area back of Hauser which produced consistent popper, crawlers action. Most were averaging 2-3 lbs, ended with @40, left @1pm ...

Got out a little later today, since the bite in the dark hasn't been that strong and sleeping in seems like a good thing. Air was 74F, Water was 78F. Light wind coming easterly. Played about in Wilson's creek and didn't have much topwater success. Managed to lose a pompadour lure though. That's two ...

Super psyched about getting on the lake, Big D meet you on my last outting and then ended up fishing with your co-worker and his kids and they were slaying them nothing cooler than frothing groms. is the gate opening times the same or have they changed it for this last month


Hi, I think Jose ...

Got out on the water a little later. Steve had already gone and Chuck was loaded up and ready to go when I got to the parking lot. Much cooler yesterday morning. Actually needed the pullover. Light wind from the east with occasional breezes. The water was down to 75F at the surface. I headed to ...

Got to lake @4:30,cold, light wind,cloudy,it was a little busy, met Dave on the water and decided to head to Pine since I haven’t been since the beginning of the year. Slow picking on wacky rig, got a couple on crank bait and also one on a glide bait which I never throw.
Then headed all the way ...

So the early charity and insider club season is on for 2025 and it sure looks like this year is going to bust out with both numbers and size. I was fortunate enough to get an invite today and happily paid the premium for myself and the better half. After a very chilly morning (low 40’s if that) the ...

Hi all,

Barrett is open for 2025 and it looks to be a promising season. Got on the water around 0500 and pedaled across the lake. Air temp was a chilly 50F, but the water was 62.5 F. First fish for me came 0517, Chuck had already gotten several by then on a jig. I was using a texas rig lizard and ...

Jose let us in @4:30, line went all the way to the road outside. Mad rush to the water but everyone was friendly. Started with a couple on jig and swim bait, then it was top water ALL day. The popper when it was nice and calm, buzz bait through the grass area, crawler and frog got them too. No ...

This battle was lost but the war is still on. June will be the last month to fish Wednesdays at the Big B. Barrett will be open only on Saturday and Sunday for FY 2026. I believe that will be the norm in the other seasonal lakes. At least we got the FULL attention of Council on the many issues ...

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.

Dude, you could be very well get banned! The max you can get is the total cost of a ticket in this case - $185.00 unless someone’s willing to give you a profit of $15.00
