Thanks for the report. how far back did you go into hauser?

Here's this other thread with lots of great advice: https://www.sdfish.org/viewtopic.php?p=19885&hilit=jig#p19885

I don't fish jigs much but this year on the opening weekend at Barrett I used them a lot and caught fish nearly every cast haha. I used a mix of black/blue and green pumpkin color jigs ...

It's great reading about you &"The Girl" fishing together

This Friday, June 6th is the last meeting of the Budget Review Committee. Is is the last chance for those concerned to express their views on the lakes issues. The meeting begins at 9 am, I have yet to see the agenda on the City website as of this am. Tuesday, June 10th is when we will know what ...

Lite, lite, lite jig you don't want it to sink in the moss...just land on top of moss and work it real slow or dead stop.

I love fishing jigs. I think that everyone knows that. The jig type and style can vary greatly and can be intimidating to get into. All of the info above is great information. I know that the line size that people speak of above also varies greatly but you can find something that works for you. I ...

Over cast morning clearing and very windy. Was in a boat and as it turns out I don't like it as much as my tube. Top water (popper) morning was fun. Didn't find the fish loaded up more picking areas apart. There were some bass chasing fry and were easy to catch but they one pounders mostly. I used ...

Was there on the 1st and saw no signs of shad. The bass were all very thin with some still showing signs that they had just finished spawning. It shouldn’t be long until they start feasting on bait balls.

Nice report. Was there Sat. as well and the wind was brutal. Tough on a kayak.

Did decent and a good amount from shore as well. Love this lake.

First time this season, we’ve been able to get out. The lake was beautiful, nice and full and it is in great condition. Our morning popper bite never materialized and we went straight to Fishing plastics and got on a senko bite that just hammered them. We had 40 fish by 10 all of them nice grade. We ...

The whopper plopper is the best because you can pause it, they will track it, especially the darker profile.

Let’s not forget all the crawler baits he(Chuck) helped sell the last couple of seasons.

Thank you for the fishing report.At what water depth did you catch most of the fish?

Very very nice!
Sounds like you had a super fishing day on Father’s Day. It’s so much fun when the bass are on the chew and it must have been a blast. Thank you so much for sharing and your facial expressions in the pics tell the whole story.
Tight lines always

Got out at 0430 to a pleasant warm morning, with already a hint of daylight coming. Water was already 73F at the surface and wind was light and variable. Decided to go long and get to Hauser right away. Also decided to focus on topwater, because, well, topwater. Bite was intermittent and a lot of ...

I have not fished Barrett in 10 years and my son Cayden and I were very excited to get back on the water after such a long absence. It was a tough night of sleep after preparing all of our rods/reels and tackle for our trip. We have a tackle box dedicated to Barrett where we grind down all the hooks ...

Thanks for the report! Looking for some top water on Wednesday.

Hell yeah! I had a great Morning on Saturday out there, can't wait to get back out there this weekend..
