San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

We’re not interested in your fish counts. We all know you slay. We only watch because we want to know what the beverage of the day is.

Could you stop those pesky bass from interrupting your video? Geez!

Can you make some videos about getting skunked at Barrett? That's what we really need. Tickets sell out way too fast. You can leave the beer in.

Wow just Wow!

Pretty sure that boat at the very beginning was my son and I heading out. We were the first to take off from there dock. I watched shawnter’s son rope them while I unloaded the boat. Another cool video

LIKE!

You don't have to clarify! We know its real, fucking great man goin out there tomorrow (Sunday) with pops, hope to get on them like that!

Hi all,

Quick report on Saturday's proceedings. Met Chris Pourboy and Brad and Ryan dark and early, bright was a few hours away. Cooler morning, about 55F, water still pleasant at 68 F. Slight south wind. We all headed out to the main lake body and started getting them on jigs, plastics and some ...

It's fun that we are using each other's go to lures.

Editing issues but here it is hot off the presses. Thanks for the patience. Cheers!

Too much fun! Looks like an emerging reaction bite now that the spawn is wrapping up?

I used 12lb floro and it held up just fine. Green pumpkin jigs with any matching craw trailer worked well for me.

My first trip to Barrett this season I was able to land almost 50 on the same jig. This last trip I lost 4 or 5 jigs. I usually buy the strike king bitsy bug that's around $3 retail so ...

Amazing times! has my best day ever that day. cant wait to go back

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 ...

Thanks for doing what you did.

It's really sad that an area that could be a destination for world class freshwater fishing is so poorly managed. I guess it's good that those people can't close our ocean, they'd figure out how to mismanage that too.

And yes, Barrett fishing has been great.

Forgot to mention that the issue(s) regarding the closing of limiting days of Murry and Marimar is still under consideration.

I have not fished Barrett in 10 years and my son Cayden and I were very excited to get back on the water after such a long absence. It was a tough night of sleep after preparing all of our rods/reels and tackle for our trip. We have a tackle box dedicated to Barrett where we grind down all the hooks ...

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 ...

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 ...
