Well, it started out kind of rough, but it ended up being a good day. At zero dark thirty, there was a howling wind from the south south east. I tried my usual places but the wind was so strong that I would fly by anything perpendicular and into anything parallel before a proper cast was complete ...

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

My buddy and I went Wednesday and had a good day with 61 between the two of us. Nothing really big but got 5 or ...

Outstanding! Great fishing day and cool to see a bobcat.

Did you use Bart Simpson too?

Got out @4:30 with Steve, missing Dave this morning, surprisingly we were the only two at pigs. The water is down again since two weeks ago, headed to Becky’s and started picking them on popper and crawler. Sun came out and fish started busting everywhere, these were good size 2-3 lb on the spook ...

Great report. I sure missed fishing with you guys.

No way, a Pikachu Jitterbug. That's awesome

Hey all it is finally getting down to the wire! September Barrett fishing is here. I got a last minute opportunity to head out and meet Early Release on the water for a few hours a week ago ...

Man it’s been too long since I’ve thrown a lizard. Plum color?

Nice job!
Using lizards eh? I forgot about those. I better go in the garage and bring some out of retirement...ha ha
I have not fished Barrett in decades and it would be nice if it was open year round especially
because so many anglers love to fish there...........or would that be a bad thing ...

Nice report and it was so funny when you cast the lizard in the middle of the lake, announcing that it was the most unlikely place to get a fish and then your pole bent over and you got that fatty in the first picture. It was a fun day yesterday. It was also pretty cool to watch that osprey nail ...

Totally forgot about the osprey that was pretty cool I thought he was gonna lose the fish but he hold on it pretty good 👍.. I think by them closing the lake it puts a bit of ease on the fish during winter especially since they got beat up during the summer.. maybe opening it up one day a month ...

I am so glad to follow my gut when it said "ya gotta get to Barrett". My main objective besides catching fish was to test out the pontoon boat. I had just added a 100 ah lithium battery and also I added butt steer. A couple bungee cords to seat and shaft of motor. I finally got the pontoon dialed in ...

I can hear his popper from a mile away 😆

I like to throw more of a neutral color when they are this picky in the beginning of the season I was throwing red , plum and black and blue... now they don't hit those colors so ...

Quick report and sorry it won’t help the guys today. Slow senko morning for us in Pine at previously good spots. But there was a pattern as we came across Dave Early Release and he was slaying them on jerkbaits. We flipped over to Hauser about 9:30 and worked the banks for schoolie sized biters all ...

went on sunday for the last and only trip of the year. unfortunately coming from LA its hard to get out too many times. thanks for all the prior reports to hear the excitement and so that i have some bearings on what is happening.

got to the gate at 430 and it was just opened with maybe 5 cars ...

Got to lake @4:30,cold, light wind,cloudy,it was a little busy, met Dave on the water and decided to head to Pine since I haven’t been since the beginning of the year. Slow picking on wacky rig, got a couple on crank bait and also one on a glide bait which I never throw.
Then headed all the way ...

Got to lake late (midafternoon). Weather perfect. I asked a couple of guys how it had been, and they said a lot of little fish. Sure enough, I saw small bass everywhere. In a couple of years, watch out! Hit the initial big rock north side of Hauser. Got constant bites fishing that bank, drop ...

Hi

We are getting to the end of the Barrett season, only a couple more days of the lake being open. Got there around 0500 and it was a pretty packed lot at pigs, so everyone was getting their last casts in, I'd guess. Air temp was cool, water temp was 71-72F. Maybe a little breeze occasionally, but ...

Solid day out there and season. 2024 was a good one!
