Mo pics…

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.

There’s a couple better ones in there. Don’t be so hard on yourself

What they are saying Robert. We’re not sure you look good in orange or stripes

Thanks Tommy, we all truly appreciate your efforts

Had a little bit of everything out at the Big B this morning. Watched a bobby sleuthing along near vertical rocks looking for prey, man their paws grip good! Then along with Early Release Dave and Pourboy Chris watched a hungry osprey attacking unsuspecting bass too lazy on the surface, not once ...

Doing much better than me. I all I've been getting are 2 pounds or less. Lots of them, but still .


On Tuesday and Friday probably 98% of my bass caught were 2 lbs or less, so you are not alone.


It seems they are shrinking everywhere, or maybe the big boys and girls just aren’t interested ...

Bet you dollars to dimes dad could have cared less how many he caught.Good job making his day

Hey Dannicus,
I thought that was you in the tackle shop early morning. I was in line with my son behind you. Glad to hear you had a productive day. We got one each on wackies. I was throwing a tiny popper on my dark wolf setup. Only had one strike it but missed. Would have been nice.


Nice tube ...

Hey Dannicus, since adding BFS to my arsenal thanks to you, I almost never take this smaller lighter swim bait off of it. I have caught fish throwing at boils just about everywhere but especially at the Barrett busters. It isn’t as purty as these newer jointed swimbaits but seems as effective. Have ...

Hey JWall,
Thank you for the great report and photos. I will be fishing Barrett for the first time ever on Sunday July 13th from a boat rental. May I ask what is the best time in the morning to arrive at the gate? I've seen different posts for either 3:30am or 4:30am.


We will be there too, keep ...

Time for a longer selfie stick VB, nice ones!!

Time for a longer selfie stick VB, nice ones!!


When the fish are heavier, for some reason, I hold things tighter….. ha ha
Besides, I give you the honest weight. I’m not the guy who lies about the weight no matter how
big they look in a picture. No respect for guys who do that.


Its funny ...

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

Got a quick session in before the wind came up. A seemingly slower day from perhaps a combination of a drop of at least a foot in the lake, some new green turbidity, and about a 91% full moon overnight. Anyway it only had flashes of the hot bite as opposed to the all out variety the last month or ...

Congrats Jwall! I have to say I use my 3 BFS's all the time now and only use my broom stick models on the big baits. Rat, plopper, spinner bait, chatter bait, frog.
The lighter stuff is easy to throw all day.


Boy you’re not kidding. Every time I switched to my other setups it felt like I was ...

To the two yahoo’s that parked side by side just past the dock and wiped out yak launching and at least 3 more spaces to park and enjoy that lower beach area, pull your heads out and think of others. I don’t usually park there either, it was just simply a selfish bonehead move. Ok, rant over.
