With the possibility of some rain this coming Saturday, what are some options on type of baits to try? Spinnerbait, Whopper, Pop-R, flukes and bring all your stuff and try them all but what might work best?

We usually arrive close to the gate opening times, we used to get there earlier but I hate to say it, while there have not been any weird “The Hills Have Eyes” issues just too eerie for us now lol.

I forget it’s been awhile, but what’s the record bass here? Does anyone know of where it was caught? We’re not trying to catch but need to settle an argument. I don’t know where it was but my buddy says it was caught at Becky’s Cove?

You’ll know when you see a boat coming straight at yours like “hey, are these guys going to ram us?” or it looks like some guys are planning to move right into OUR spot! Then one of them may shout out “go ahead and put your rod down” (as that’s the one the DFG will want to see if that’s got the ...

It was fairly easy to grab boat tickets for the rest of September! Got tickets for either a Saturday or a Sunday and going every weekend but most of all, the last Saturday for the year!

Ok now that the 2024 Barrett Lake fishing season is officially over and in the books, what was your best SECRET lure or bait used?

As many of the veteran fisherperson recall a few years ago, the Yamamoto Senko worm was the hottest ticket to get your 30-40-50-80 plus single per person fish count ...

Just like home insurance. Barrett bump plus the next 30% increase after palisades fire, I’m just going to start making casts in the back yard…

With all these “legal” protests that happen all over the nation, I ponder what it would be like to show up with a 1000 fisherman and protest Barrett with ...

Lake record I think was 13 and change lbs.?

We got May 10th and May 17th - boat tickets- funny thing was the tickets went thru after 3 min.?

We were late to draw and got them! I heard this from last year and tried it again and worked!

I think what happens is the system overloads with 10,001 hits coming in and jams it. Wait 3 min. and bam ...

Wasn’t Shawnster’s kid on a 11.94 last year and featured on WON?

Yea that’s weird, you got a great deal for $36.50 for two boats and a floater!

Definitely call them tomorrow!

Not only did you get the two boats (valued at $200 plus $36.50 float) for low discounted price, it will be interesting to see if it was a glitch or you actually did score!

The question ...

Wasn’t the entry fee or cost to attend (fish) was about $300-$400 and was that per person or per boat?

Now’s the time to start an online petition.

There was one done last year and while it didn’t draw much attention maybe we have time now?

It would be nice to drop off a box of concerned signed citizens to the city’s decision makers or to whom this may all be involved.

Yea I know that for me (us), we all use separate golf click counters and we don’t “click” off, till it’s lipped. I see others saying “oh, about xx#’s”, that means they’re guessing at best. I discount their claims right off the bat!

Before we started to use the clickers, we know it’s very easy to ...

Cmon guys!

Yup all the time, it’s part of the fun and it’s not about beating the others on my boat but rather doing for our own personal bests. Nothing like hearing our separate clickers going off.

June 4th is closed! First Wednesday of every month is a no-go.

Not sure about you mean about trying on the 31st, as all tickets were sold out on May 13th.

Maybe someone with a Saturday or Sunday ticket can be purchased.

Look up DarkShadow thread, he did a very good presentation on jig fishing!

I see that Turner’s has the Seaguar fluro carbon on sale. I use them for all my salt water trips but anyone use them for freshwater?

I’ve been using P-Line for years but would like to try Seaguar.

I’m thinking of getting either 8#-10# string but between the different types which is “better” for ...

You can try it but expect that it may not work. It happened to a couple of guys, got turned down and waited till Jose saw them turn around.
