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 ...

Nice ones.. thanks for the report.. question- what little boat is that your on?

Its a pond prowler by bass pro shops 8ft version,i need to stand so i figured this is better for standing then a kayak super stable just have to get use to it cause barrett winds will make you go side ways enough to ...

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 ...

Hello all,

Barrett was really nice on Wednesday. I was a little worried since it was 44F at Pigs at 0430. But...the water was a pleasant 70 F and the fish were happy as well. First fish came on a popper and was a bit over 3 pounds. He hit it like he was angry at it and I have to say it was the most ...

Got out usual time, Jose let us in early, wasn’t too busy at Pigs, met our buddies Dave and Joe, headed to Hauser. Consistently good popper bite ALL day, even got one on a Rat, the biggest was 4lb on a frog! Braided line really got it done, did lose some big fish on barbless hook, but overall ...

45 degrees at 4am brr
Met up with Chuck and Dave at launch
Motored the Scadden to hauser, blue bird skies, wind came up mid morning
A few on the popper first thing but majority of my fish today was on 4 inch fluke, 10 inch black/blue power worm (El Salto Special) and black lizard working back out ...

There is all this bad news in the world, but there are many good people, and many good things happen. My morning got messed up, unfortunately got to lake at 3:15 p.m. Talked to three guys at my car who said they caught forty between them. Good chat. Then one of them came over and gave me a handful a ...

Report was for Wednesday 5/29.

Got out early morning as usual. Quite busy on this Saturday, but great to see a bunch of friends. It was warmer, but not warm. Water temp was 70F. Pedaled over to Hauser and started catching 2 pounders on the popper and the 110 jerkbait. Got a lot of short strikers on the topwater. Over to Becky's ...

Hey Barrett crew,

I've been to Barrett a few times since this season opened, but haven't posted any reports frankly because I haven't been doing that well compared to late last season and I'm having a bit of a fishing identity crisis. So this is more of a plea for guidance...

For context: I've ...

Is the first cast fish jinx real? Followed by a second cast fish? Maybe it is a jinx as a few minutes later a fatty bit the senko, got air so we could see the prize, then proceeded to dive straight under the boat and break off a 12lb fluoro leader. And to top that off, while I was nursing that wound ...

Trying out my brothers Pro Angler. I normally have a double seater mirage that I use. It is lighter but definitely not as stable as the pro angler. Going to have to get a pro angler. It was definitely easier on my back than my old mirage. Headed out in the dark and through the fog. Spent a bunch of ...

Launched at Piggy's on my new super tube around 6 ish in the am. Sure wish people(Ram truck) would learn how to park near the launch so 2 people can launch at the same time. Headed across to the rocks, pick one up trolling over. Water started out at 71 in the am and last I saw it around 4 in the ...

Got out at 0430 in what turned out to be incredible fog on the water. I was a couple minutes ahead of Chuck and it was some time before we could meet again. It kept rolling in and it felt a bit unsafe to cross the lake. I used my depthfinder GPS to not get turned around at all.

Headed over to ...

So after a bad morning or waking up late, forgetting my tackle bag half way to barret then turning around for it,missed the exit to the freeway,then driving behind the slowest grandama on earth going up the hill......... finally made it to the pigs where parking was a mess and launched. Meet with ...

I was surprised to get a boat ticket since I logged in from work to do it...don't tell my boss...but I did so day before Fathers day I went (no, not with my kids they don't fish much), but with my buddy Chris. Started in the fog...just a bit but it was chilly. I guess we are late starters since we ...

Got out at 0430 with Chuck and Joe. Of course we all headed different ways, Chuck to a cove where he had success last week and I pedaled to Becky's cove. Joe passed me on the way to Hauser and that was the last I saw of him today. Air was a little chilly at 54F, slight wind, but water a pleasant 75 ...

Good day on the water at Barrett for Saturday. Got out dark and early which is my favorite. Water was already at 74F and the air was probably about 60 F. Slight chop from that evening wind. What was fun was the moon was so bright it almost was light enough. See first picture, that's not a sun, that ...

Hello all,

Got out at dark with pond_prowler_619, Ismael. Air temp was 56F, and the water 76F. Unlike Wednesday, there was just the light normal breeze that Barrett gets. I was already hopeful. Headed over to the opening of Hauser, but there were a couple of people there already, so I changed up ...
