I use a throw square float cushion.

That’s my buddies place. Just an oddity, like the Hollywood sign he has on the hill. It used to be a unicorn.

The horse ranch north east or before that is windfall ranch. Separate place

Freeway can be the quickest depending on your location time wise…
For me, I live close to the ghost horse.

Thank you for clearing up one of my life’s mysteries for me! 😄


Maybe the question is why are you ...

I’ve removed a lot of other anglers hooks they either cut off or the bass breaks off here at Barrett. Following the through the gills removal with surgical hemostats works best. It pops right out, and the thin hemostats that lock make it super easy.

DEFINITELY month to month. This allows greater flexibility, planning, and opportunity for people to secure tickets despite missing out on tix from a month that sells out.

This is the only question you mentioned from the poll, but given that some are chiming in with other observations/requests:

I don’t recall if it was me, but I agree, complaining can draw the wrong attention. It’s a common thing when living out here in the sticks, all the flat landers want to do away with the dirt roads. Then the driving just gets faster and faster, leading to more problems

Get a decent portable pump and air down. 15-20 psi. I avoid the washboard in trade for a red neck car wash with the grass and brush going down the side of my vehicle. I agree it gets bad. You can avoid a lot of it but people have fish on the brain and aren’t focused on missing the woops.

A few observations from the above comments:

The City realizes what a cash cow Barrett(like SV) is. I just wish the $$ stayed with Barrett or the other lakes, but it all goes into the General Fund. Other mouths are bigger than the City Lakes(programs). I don't think they would ever screw with the ...

Yeah, the skinny hemostats are the way to go. I keep these on a lanyard around my neck....but also have a skinnier set in the pack for the really small fish. The Dr. Fisherman hemostats are a bit less...intrusive....when dealing with a green sunfish that somehow ate a 1/0 hook.....

Hello crew, I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the potential impact of this week’s rain on this weekend’s fishing? In your experience does the rain impact the way you will be fishing (e.g., does it drive the fish deeper or shallower or impact any other behaviors)? Just curious of your thoughts ...

The only difference I see will be the road may be a little smoother......Laurie said she was going to scrap it. Will be there Sunday too. LGF.....D

Fishing was great today. It should be good tomorrow too. John followed Theo's dropshot method. I used poppers, Rapalas, weightless creatures and this nifty little strolling jig I found that is just like candy if they see it.

Gearing up now! I’m hoping for some top water action in the am.

Yeah, 2 flats at low speed is pretty wild. Someone in front of me seemed to have hit the same thing and pulled over right away. I didn't stop until I got out of the gate so I didn't get a look at what it was. It absolutely obliterated my front tire, might still be stuck in the rear. Won't know until ...

I just came across this thread. Great work Tommy. Monthly ticket sales is definitely the way to go.

I’ve been fishing Barrett for 20+ years and remember when they used to have more boats. I’m not sure if this is the new normal but Laurie mentioned earlier in the year that they were only using 15 ...

All good points Dave. It does look like monthly sales of the tickets is the majority opinion. If you remember we came real close to loosing the boat rentals because of motor issues 3 years ago. The City is replacing them as they can. I think the number is about 10 new ones received so far. So with ...

Lots of snags so I mostly use weedless. Since I am using weedless, I can usually get away with using 6 pound line. Hooked fish will usually swim out to deeper water.

Can't go wrong with Senkos, drop shot and Ned rigs. If there is a lot of stringy moss around, then a Texas rigged Senko is nice ...

i think the month before is still best. Most of us cant plan that far ahead and stuff happens that would make people need to cancel/sell.

FOR ME, the issue was never i want to buy for 2 month out, its been the way Ticketmaster's site works etc.

Lets talk more about the new boats!!! (-:
