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 ...

My 1st time at barret was a few years ago during opening month .. and I was only able to land 7 bass(biggest about 2lbs) the next few times I only landed 10-15 fish a trip (all day) I remember saying to myself "why all the hype " and ''there's no way people catch 100 fish a day".... fast forward a ...

Its possible and I have legitimately clicked each one but let me tell you it takes the whole day of seriously wide-open fishing to actually get to 100. It’s not possible with most baits so keep that in mind. You’re not catching 100 on a senko the time it takes to sink a senko prohibits this.

It’s ...

But who's posting fake reports?

I remember when the lottery system existed, 100 fish days were common. I believe they can still happen.
Yes, I’m talking more about the opener report vs big numbers. Guy had pics from different lakes, pics from a post a year ago and multiple pics all with a different hat, facial hair etc. if you ...

Geecrack bellows gill 3.8", weightless t-rig - green pumpkin and summer gill were getting hit pretty regularly for me last year around laydowns and submerged grass


How you like those geecrack? I been meaning to try those for a while now but haven't pull the trigger i know ecbt now carry them ...

Why keep editing the same photos from different years? Too funny!!!!!! Maybe delete last year’s photos from your Barrett report in 2024 and your opener report may be more believable- NOT

So after reading the fake report, I am laughing, because I too wonder what the point of that was. There is a now defunct message board, where years ago, people would post fake reports to get people away from their bites and lakes. Back in the day, people would lurk message boards and if 2 or 3 ...

That’s what happens when @VinnyBass posts a hot bite a Murray. Lake is loaded next day. He’s even enticed me to go see haha


I'm certain that I'm more likely to find DB Cooper or catch a marlin at Barrett than I am to catch a bass over 14" at Murray lol. I find it remarkably impressive that ...

Maybe an odd question, but do you count your fish? If so, why?

I primarily fish with my 9-year-old son Theo, and like a lot of you, we’ve made a habit of counting how many fish we catch. It started simply enough — it’s not hard to remember 4 fish days —but as we’ve improved, I’m happy to say that ...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I’m going to approach as mini-competition count days, and other days when I want to explore new areas and new techniques not worrying about fish counts. I think there is definitely fun to be had with both approaches.

Everyone that fishes Barrett was drawn to it for the possibility of catching “100 fish in a day”. If you don’t count, how will you know if you achieved that magic number? I do it for fun just to see if I could beat my personal best. Numbers as well as weight.
