The tail whip on that long’un would peel off line like a yellowtail!

Agree with 100%, including a bit smaller average. Just sets the stage for next year!

I am hardly qualified to say, especially after fishing Barrett almost exclusively the last 5 months, but you sure do know the V well. I looked and the water has dropped since Easter, from about 90 to 70 percent capacity. Maybe some old familiar spots are showing now? You seem to have an El Cap ...

Did you set an alarm for 14 days, 0 hours, 1 minute? lol never stop posting, its great 411

Now that’s a catching video!!

Nice looking raft there! Am toying with the idea of a Sea Eagle 2 person for Barrett and Sierra lakes. I have an aluminum bass boat but there’s times when it’s not possible or practical.

If they dont like your post, why did they click on it?


Thank you. That is a good point.
Just to share a comment from a guy on the old SDFish:

You seem like a nice guy, Vinny, but I don't think most folks reading your reports give a damn about all
you write and the other nonsense you put in ...

Man you are the ADHD fisherman…never the same lure in two different pictures

PS I’m starting to think Murray hired you to drum up business

Nice going guys! Took our first trip to that region in the fall recently and it’s just amazing with the colors. Perfect temps and no bugs too.

Nice podcast! Your tank is mesmerizing in the background. Were there some baby bass in there or do they grow too much?

That’s it! I kept seeing those lateral lines going by

And some pretty vicious fins too!

Wow!! Nice job VB

Yay!!! Good to see you in new waters. Haven’t been out as much of late but need to get on the bay soon. It is a blast.

Good feedback, either way. Thanks. This weekend’s tides are rippin!!

Here is what I did on Sunday if anyone is interested.

Always entertaining and usually pick up at least a new thing or two. Love that Square Mile Flat area but notice you and Brad went around the corner towards the Strand? I will have to try that as it seemed like ...

plain and simple. They say the first step is admitting that you have a problem.

Been there, done that, many times!!

Perfect…I will give a bay report and then learn how Otay went. Tight lines Chris!

This Barrett Boy tries to spend time on the bay this time of year. Seems like El Cap is first up after Januarys but thinking I will change that up based on coming reports. Then after May 1st, I too become monotonous

Hi Vinny,
I think most Barrett fishermen are trudging around looking at the floor waiting for May 2025. We alternate looking at the floor with looking at the calendar to see if we are a day closer to opening. I personally learned I have a new(er) grandson who is apparently 4 years old already. So ...
