Got out at 0430 with Chuck and Joe. Of course we all headed different ways, Chuck to a cove where he had success last week and I pedaled to Becky's cove. Joe passed me on the way to Hauser and that was the last I saw of him today. Air was a little chilly at 54F, slight wind, but water a pleasant 75 ...

The beer we had was actually an oatmeal stout, so it's a breakfast food. It's ok.

Just ordered a pair of new waders, thanks for the info and discount code.

Good day on the water at Barrett for Saturday. Got out dark and early which is my favorite. Water was already at 74F and the air was probably about 60 F. Slight chop from that evening wind. What was fun was the moon was so bright it almost was light enough. See first picture, that's not a sun, that ...

Hello all,

Well it was a toasty day on the lake yesterday. Reasonable at predawn of 70F. Unreasonable at a little after lunch at 107F in my truck, cooled down to 99F driving. At 0430 water temp was 78F. Without a moon, it was pretty dark at that time and the sun isn't really doing much until about ...

Hello all,

Got out at the usual time, although it's staying dark for a while now. Water was 79, the air was still and pretty warm. Buzzed over to the other side of the lake and starting casting the pompadour at the shoreline and got the first fish at 0440. My nighttime photography skills are ...

Got out to the water around around 6ish on a solo mission when i was coming in i could see the boils from the top of the hill so i knew it was gonna be a good topwater day went straight for hausers. First cast i threw a lizard on the way to hauser and hooked up right away 2nd cast hooked up ...

Nice job with the Pickachu. I might have to throw my black cockatoo in two weeks. That’s a good size bobcat.

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 ...

Stunning day out there yesterday on my super tube. Picked up more than 1 fish trolling from one place to another,,,,,,they weighed in at 2.5 to over 3 lbs!! I cannot remember the number of years it has been where the busters averaged that size.

We have to get out there again, before the season closes. I need another day with a delicious beverage.

So me and the son went out on saturday hoping for a great TW bite in hauser, 1st trip of 2024.

TW really didnt materialize as hoped, when it did, it consisted mainly of dinks.

I saw a guy throwing an a-rig that got bit a lot, but what i saw were mostly dinks.

When tw wasnt on, we got them ...

Got out a little later yesterday. Chuck and Steve were already out there. Water temp dropped a bit, started the day around 75F at the surface, air was a touch chilly, maybe low 50s F. Slight wind from mostly east. Went over to Becky's cove and pounded the shoreline with topwater to minimal response ...

This was my third trip this season to Barrett (and my third trip ever), and it was the toughest by far!

First day I fished Hauser, second day I fished Pine, but the results were largely the same. Was on the water around 5:30-45 each morning and threw top waters for a long while in a bunch of spots ...

After consulting the regulars and reports, the plan was to go deeper for more quality over quantity today. Brought my floating Garmin Striker to watch our depths and it definitely seemed like the fish in 15-20 were better. The calm glassy morning in Pine kicked out nice ones mostly on 4” senkos. My ...

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 ...

Did I hear plastics?... nice report bro it's that time to pull out the 9in 10in worms and lizards....next week should be fun and challenging

Hi Chris, it was one of my favorite days on the water this year also. It was almost like we were on a vacation at some fishing destination. I guess, actually we were.

You are definitely a master with the jigs. It's fun to watch you work them.

Heck Ya!!!! Funny how sometimes letting a lure sit while curing some kind of distraction gets a nice one. Way to go

Nice pig! Always catching them quality fish on the jig. I've caught 2 pound fish on a Hudd, but I rarely catch a 2 pound fish on a jig. It's just a quality bite time after time.


The unintended deadstick


Had that happen to me last weekend. We had just launched and blasted to the back of a cove ...
