wonder if the first tuesday (7/4) being a holiday screwed up an algorithm at TM...

Yeah, they were busting lake crazy and chasing bait in a giant circle (think 400 yard diameter, at least) at the very beginning of the Pine arm just north of where the port-a-potty used to be at the Hauser/Pine split.

I managed a 4 pounder on a keitech out in the middle (among other basically 2 ...

I have tickets for a boat this Sunday but it looks like we might get rain from this hurricane down by baja.

Other than, I'll take your tickets... any advice or info I should know about how it works at the lake when there is rain? Does the staff close the lake road or access under any circumstances ...

Hey! Was a lot of fun hearing your kids tell us about their day when we were cleaning up after a fun day of fishing. Those two boys were so stoked and it takes me back to the times my dad took me fishing as a kid. I still feel like those two boys did after a good day of fishing (heck, even a bad day ...

Only thing that bums me out is I made a little rod holder that I left on the boat. Definitely going back before the season ends

I actually do have your rod holder and would like to get it back to you safely. I'm at the lake again on July 31 in the off chance you are there. Otherwise, I'm happy to mail it to you.

Let me know.

Tickets go on sale at 7pm the second Tuesday of the month. September tickets go on sale on Aug 13th.

Hello, for anyone using a 12v lithium battery for their trolling motors, what Ah battery are you using all day?

Is a 12v 50Ah big enough for a full day on barrett?

12v100Ah overkill?



I have used the Dakota Lithium 12V 54Ah battery for the last (at least) 3 years at Barrett Lake. I have never ...

Fish are getting thinner and thinner every week 😢. Have you guys seen any bait balls on your fish finders at all? The past few years the shad were thick all around the dock and all around the shoreline due to a successful shad spawn.


On the 21st, I was at the submerged point half way up Pine ...

You'd be surprised at how much damage the gristle plate can cause to your line. After EVERY fish, I just run my fingers up and down the line. Even one little nick can substantially weaken the line - especially if you get a good fish. If there's a nick, retie.

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.

Any skinny bass I caught early and mid season were tight to the bank. During the same trips, all the healthy and heavier bass were in deeper water. I focused a majority of my fishing in deeper water and secondary points-none of those areas produced any sick or skinny fish.


My experience was ...
