Looks like you made the news! Too bad they suck.

This is ridiculous.

I know the Council voted to pass the items #201 & #202.......but within the 9 pages did anyone see if they increased the fees for Barrett? I contacted the reporter from NBC 7 (Eric) who wrote the article and will email him the statement with recommendations for other revenue sources. He said he will ...

I am in the Let's Talk Hookup booth.....we r raffling off a Talica 2, Torium, Costa sunglasses, and a 2 day trip on the Polaris Supreme. All donations for the tickets go to Rollo Kids at Sea. Hope to see all there, its the last day today.

Geezus H Krist whatever would we do without the govt protecting us??


After reading up on the "Whys?" for this reasoning, it seems that on average during a year, only 9% of the accidents that occur on vessels are from rentals.


I can actually see why, rental boats are not the ones flying ...

Yes that is correct, SHARE will happen in 2026. Tix SHOULD go on sale the second Tuesday of April.

Finally, after 1 or 2 hours each weekend, and 2 months later, I have completed my boater card courses and final exam. I missed only 1 question regarding the light color for full access in a lock. The answer is "amber", i knew this but answered green. I looked it up and the internet is saying green ...

The majority of people that fish Barrett more than a couple times in a year will absolutely pay whatever they have to. Hard to put a cap on the feeling of going from fairweather fisherman to Bassmaster classic winner. They’ve figured that part out, obviously

I’ve been in that boat before (no pun intended), when San V opened back up. Missed out on opening day tix, but found a guy selling his on Craigslist and jumped on it. I was definitely willing to pay more than it was worth, just for that one day. I justified it by comparing it to the fact I’d pay the ...

FYI......Barrett is normally closed the 1st Wednesday of the month, but not opening month. The increases they are proposing will not go into effect until July if they passed them....will know very soon.....stay tuned.

Got it, I know it’s been like that in the past but I just wanted peace of mind for the guy I sold some spots to

Awesome day I arrived 10:30 pm Tuesday night 6 trucks in front of me . Met some cool guys talking in line . 4:30 am we're heading to the dock . 25 minutes later both my buddy and I are hooked up . Fishing on fire within an hour we have 20 fish each . In the morning I throw 4" senkos set up Neko ...

I did go one time with my friend on Mother’s Day and we both got a very stinky SKUNK.
Still can’t believe it.

Exactly

Barrett does fiberglass boats now? Looks like pics from different trips/lakes. Why post pics from last years trip???
viewtopic.php?t=1988

Well the fiberglass boat pic is gone, still all different pics from different days/years. No need to embellish a Barrett report… the pics question the validity of the overall report.

It boggles my mind why someone would feel the need to post a fake report- especially Barrett?

It’s Barrett, it’s an amazing fishery.

Maybe some feel they need to embellish numbers like lost count over 100… maybe insecurities, justifying far drives from out of town with a lot of expenses? Who ...

As a barrett regular i agree with you brotha .... I usually just tell they don't mike long yourself lol..also catching 100 fish a day is doable last month david and I diff had about 100 fish each but not all we keepers, unless its on video, picture, or somebody well known says it I dont really ...

Yea I know that for me (us), we all use separate golf click counters and we don’t “click” off, till it’s lipped. I see others saying “oh, about xx#’s”, that means they’re guessing at best. I discount their claims right off the bat!

Before we started to use the clickers, we know it’s very easy to ...
