Very cold Wednesday morning with slight breeze headon on the way out.
Calmness dominated the whole lake when this pano was shot
Enjoy !
Morning burn off was very late while the top water bite was brief?

Trolling A rig over semi shallow areas ( Soawn areas) and had much better luck ...

sorry about late report been busy .First in line like usual . Lori awesome 4 am sharp . Foggy morning barely could see 5 feet In front of you . Little slow to start out with wanted to start with top water but went to kenrig senko setup because it's weedless and I couldn't see where I was throwing ...

Gate opened just after 04:00. Loaded the boat and headed to the back of Hausers, trying to see how far it goes back, wow it just keeps going, opens up in some spots, look great back there . However I only got 2 on topwater and 1 on a Keitech .Fished my way out and didn't really do much of anything ...

25 bass is still a awesome day at barrett,we get spoiled at times
thanks for sharing the report

Hey John, thanks for towing those guys in. I gave my buddy a hard time about spending over a $1k on those lithium batteries and now this happens. I hope Dakota takes care of him. Anyways, thanks for the report as always.

20240519_052818.jpg Got to the lake around 5ish hit the water right when the sun was coming up, hit the first cove 3rd cast landed a nice 3-4 pounder hit a 16in uptons worm,a few more cast landed another 3-4 pounders, pull out the wake bait ... nothing... crankbaits.. .nothing. ..spinner... nothing ...

It is bad Karma to leave a fellow Waterman in peril. As I works out, I’ve helped a lot of people and am the luckiest Fisherman there is. Nothing like towing a $65,000 Bass Boat with your Hobie. Guaranteed a chance at something huge. Grabbing the trash I see, just a bonus for everybody. Remember, we ...

I managed to get out on the water on Sunday with my buddy Brad. It’s always fun fishing with a great friend and we don’t get to do it nearly as often as we used to. But when we do, it’s like picking up where we left off last time, it’s always ...

Great job and it was great to see you out there. Always great helping others out. Cheers and see out there again soon.

Got on the water with Dave @4:30, like last week it was foggy but today was much colder, went to Becky’s Cove hoping to reproduce like last week but it was tough. The fog and cold weather seems to hold them down, didn’t really get much until the sun came out. Went back to Hauser and got a nice 4.13 ...

Got on the water dark and early with Chuck at about 0430. Freeeeeezing cold this morning. Truck temp gauge told me it was 42F, but it seemed colder. Light wind too, so that probably didn't help. Pedaled over to where it was good last week, and it was decent, but not as good. First fish in the boat ...

You were spot on with the deeper bite. We enjoyed watching you two dissect that flat across from us, it produced for hours! We think the big one that finally broke Cynthia off after our Chinese fire drill was a hefty cat. Interesting that Brad got into one too.


I would have loved to see the one ...

Good job buddy. Late start as usual, only ‘landed’ 7, but biggest was w/ the frog. Same last week. Looking good for a great bite next few months.

Thank God for 65 pound braid, you don’t lose the fish down in the plants cause you can bring the plants up with them! :-)

Got to the lake at 6 today was a little chilly but not too bad.Parking however was a mess but was still able to get a decent spot. I usually hit the first cove but decided to head straight for hauser, flipped the edges of trees with no luck ... headed for the middle of the lake to deep crank but i ...

Been hitting the B pretty much all May with decent results. Today I took my cousin but we got too lazy to pump our tubes and decided to fish off the dock. It paid off pretty good. I got my share of crappie and this nice bass on a bluegill swimbait he got a decent one on a jig. It was pretty ...

Got out nice and early on the water today. It wasn't too chilly then, but it changed. Pedaled over to the cove by the island at the opening of Hauser and got hits right away. It must have been dark for them too, the one I caught hit the popper at least 5 times before he got it. He was only about a ...

I rarely fish freshwater, especially bass, but I do enjoy a good kayak adventure to Barrett every year or two. I brought my kayak buddy two years ago and he was hooked. We set out for a return trip Friday night, camping out at Good Vibes Ranch near the lake, which was a trip. It bought us an extra ...

Awesome report bro back of hauser was a different world i swear i was ready to see a alligator pop up 😆,black and blue is a staple for barret especially gary yamamoto black and blue senko and also i had great luck with the flappin hog same color. And what waterfall where you taking about the small ...

I want my hook back....

You may have to slow down to whack those inactive Bass. Most of my hits on the jig were in the 5 seconds I let it lay there before barely moving it.
