It was a really nice day and the wind was not bad at all. I tried different baits also, XD8, swim jig and also got one on the Rat. All were quality 3+ lb

Awesome work John! I’ll be there tomorrow and can’t wait!

Missed you out there today. Where were you? Those rocks behind you look familiar as mid-Hauser rocks. But maybe they are just rocks.

Nice work! It is worth changing things up. I sometimes will catch a fish with 1 rod then switch and so on. If I find 1 isn't working like the rest I stop using it, until I find my best producer. I think I forgot to mention using a jig in my report. Main lake has been good for me.

I did forget to say I used the jig also. Always ready in my setups.

Turns out earlyrelease Dave is in the video. I'm in the beginning.

On the water with my two boys and a boat ticket just before 7am. Our confidence spots were not hitting as hard as they have been over the past few weeks. Stayed in the main lake until we picked up a buddy at 9am. I focused on various top water approaches — flukes and small poppers produced the best ...

Congrats on a great day. You would have shared 31 with the others if you weren't solo! The wild life is always a bonus.

Really enjoyed your report and those were some great photos. Lots of bass must have been
so much fun with the boys. Love that pic with you holding up the big one!
That DT Hula grub has been a plus for me also with a 7lb'er recently at Mur.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always.

I woke up at 2:15 my usual time to head to Barrett. Body said nope and went back to sleep and woke up at 6 ready to go. When I arrived I saw Shawn and Theo heading out. The weather was nice no big winds and not to hot. Not being dark missed that fishing fun. Not many rollers then none. No topwater ...

Good to see you out there David! You did better than we did — slow day for us (about 50 total). Zero top water and plenty of smaller fish making our numbers. Although your secret weapon helped Theo at the end! Beautiful day on the water though!

Ummm. I'm going tomorrow and I can keep a secret.

It has been a good year so tomorrow is experiment day. Crazy colors. Weird presentations. Trying out new skills - especially any secret weapons.

Got to the gate 4:30 and met Dave,Vince and Steve, we went our separate ways. Beautiful warm morning, they were biting on top, plopper and frog and occasional popper. Majority of my fish also came on the swim jig and chatter bait.
I stayed till noon when the wind came up,Dave left early and Vince ...

Wow. 6.2. I fished for 4 1/2 hours Wednesday afternoon. Caught 17, a few 3-pounders, a few 2-pounders, and several 1-pounders. All senkos and roboworms. Mostly Hauser. Went to end of Hauser. Weird. All of this growth about 3 feet below the surface for several hundred yards. No action. Very cloudy ...

Hit it on Saturday the 13th, prepping for our 2 day charter leaving Monday on the New Lo An. Started at Pigs worked all the way down to the rocks picking up bass the whole way down.

This time we brought our lunch/drinks with us on our tubes and we stopped at the Pine/ Houser junction. After lunch ...

Three trips to Barrett this year totaled about 250 LMB for me and Max. A little tougher today as we landed about 60 including a four pounder and a three pounder. Most of the fish though were what we affectionately call jumbo dinks. Tried topwater in the morning to no avail. We got most of our fish ...

Big C. That was you I saw. Nice 4 lber. I watched you land that one good job. I thought you were Jwall and told Shawnster you were jwall and he jetted over to say high, my bad.

See ya next year!
