Headed out right about 5:30 but the moon and cloudless sky made things pretty visible. Decided to stay in Hauser for the day and started in the coves on the north side to the right of the portapotty. Seemed like a good call as I got a first cast jerkbait fish followed by two more within 10 minutes ...

Great report and happy that we met this year. Fun to fish with you.

Nice last day. 2024 was a good season.

So I went back to Barrett…

This report(video) was from the hottest day of the year. I decided to head out just for a couple of hours before the furnace ignited. I got out on the water with only 1 other car at Pigs. I headed ...

Well, that's it for me for this year.

Got to the lake in the dark. Met Chuck and we had a nice time. Water temp was at 70F and by the end of my day it went to 73F. Light wind from the North early.

We were determined to catch fish on topwater and I'm happy to say it worked out. Chuck was getting ...

Nice wrap up and those pics are really good. None really do Barrett justice but those are close!

Had some fun and some decent angling with my buddy Max at the Barrett closer today. Max got a couple nice four pounders before I even got warmed up. Not much topwater action for us today though. I had a steady pick on the mutilator mutilator and the new Yamamoto Slinko that I Carolina rigged. We got ...

Thanks for the update and beautiful pics! Yeah, it was dead calm out there after that first early morning breeze. What a gorgeous day on a beautiful lake. Cheers! Can't wait for next year already.

So the early charity and insider club season is on for 2025 and it sure looks like this year is going to bust out with both numbers and size. I was fortunate enough to get an invite today and happily paid the premium for myself and the better half. After a very chilly morning (low 40’s if that) the ...

Thanks for a great post!

It was a really awesome day! Yes there was a legitimate 11.3 pounder caught. I myself reported to the group four fish over 5lbs, but in reviewing my saved scale numbers one of them was actually 4.8. My final numbers were 43 bass, 2 very large crappie and a slab of a ...

Today was a super nice day at the lake only thing missing the topwater.... can't wait till the lake opens next month... see you there bud 👍

Top water was there if you know where to go. I got 20 on the popper, didn’t try anything else cause it was too much fun. Ended up @50 and a nice 4 and 5s on ...

Hey all! It is that time of year again, finally!
Last year prior to the end of the Barrett Season I went about getting a private fishing day for a nonprofit that I do hundreds of hours of volunteer time per year. The Educational Martial Arts System. It gives ...

Nice event it sounds like. If you do it again can I be added to the list?

Thanks for reminding me!

Had a lot of fun with my buddy Max yesterday at Barrett. We got 108 between us with Max getting the majority of them. One of the highlights of the day was him coaching me on jig fishing which produced the bigger models.

Hi all,

Continuing a proper weekend of fishing, I got to go to Lake Barrett today as part of charity fundraiser for Cast Hope. Weather looked like it could be any combination of things at 0400. Turns out it was. Drizzled on the way down. We got let in around 0530 and made our way out. Water temp ...

Jose let us in @4:30, line went all the way to the road outside. Mad rush to the water but everyone was friendly. Started with a couple on jig and swim bait, then it was top water ALL day. The popper when it was nice and calm, buzz bait through the grass area, crawler and frog got them too. No ...

Launched out of a boat on opening day

Alot of caos with parking since there was no electricity on the boat dock and alot of people trying to launch kayak/tube @ the boat dock area. I saw someone get hit by a truck in reverse with the chaos ...

We’re not interested in your fish counts. We all know you slay. We only watch because we want to know what the beverage of the day is.

Thanks for the report! I started using lizards this season (based on your reports) and I’ve been happy with the results! So many lizards on the rocks the bass have to be eyeing them as prey. Also, is that a pond prowler you are fishing from? We have a new one for the season! Loving it so far.
