Got out on the water a little later. Steve had already gone and Chuck was loaded up and ready to go when I got to the parking lot. Much cooler yesterday morning. Actually needed the pullover. Light wind from the east with occasional breezes. The water was down to 75F at the surface. I headed to ...

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 ...

Late report from last sunday....
I ran into a another bobcat on the shore same deal on lures used lizards and work great.... a couple on top a couple on crank but the highlight was the bobcat ... not sure why I enjoy animals in nature, wind got really bad on the way in around noon water was ...

Great pics of the cat!!

That video of the bobcat you had was really amazing. I can't wait to try the leeches you gave me.

Nice report bro.... I think that cat is the same one I been seeing lately, he is diff not afraid of humans cause I got pretty close without noticing it myself

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 ...

You love fishing jigs because you are amazing at it. Or, probably more correct you worked hard to learn them and become amazing at them. I think your feel of the structure might be better than panoptix.

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!

Awesome report as always brotha, till next year see you on the other lakes sure was a super fun year, still thinking of that day we had that topwater morning bite ...it's was nuts

Thanks for the report.. and the wind was no joke today

It was a nice morning til that wind came up. Another fun day, already missing this place. Can't wait til next year, hopefully more rain on the way.

Terrific video my man. I loved seeing you catch the crappie on the old school lure. Is that jig rod new? What kind is it a Kisler? What length?


Hey thanks man! It is a newer rod. I have had it for about 6mos. I absolutely love it! So light and sensitive. I got a Nitranium also but like this one ...

Hey guys, I was the one that requested BFS be added as a forum topic. Thanks admins and thanks to @VinnyBass for facilitating the topic add! I figured this would be a great place to share our rigs/setups, gear, baits and techniques. I look forward to seeing what you all are using.

I use a phenix classic bfs rod paired w curado bfs bait casting reel on 10 braid and 8 fluro leader for Dropshot and also 2nd bfs rod and reel same pound test for neko senco and robo

For those of you new to BFS (bait finesse system) fishing, it started in Japan in the early 2000s. Japanese anglers were searching for ways to cast light (think 1/64 oz) lures on baitcaster rods and reels for ultra finicky and pressured fish. Why a baitcaster instead of spinning gear? Because ...

I have 2 $100 BFS setups SOLOKING BMC100 Baitcasting Reel and a Magic Ultralight Fishing Rod, 2PCS BFS Casting Rod. I can feel bites even with slack line and the reel has held up great with lots of fish some big fish too. Time will tell there longevity.

Thanks to Dannicus, I have ventured into the BFS world. I bought an ARK Gravity BFS reel. At the moment I have 25lb braid paired with a 10lb fluoro leader. I know I could get lighter but want the extra size to fight the bigger models and high catch rates at Barrett, etc.

Like my reel/line, I haven ...

That's awesome! Fun isn't it? Even clones are a fun fight and when you get into a bigger one, forget about it! It's like being a kid again. Every time I land a 5+ I feel positively giddy! I can't wait for my DD, which @Pourboy assures me is coming.
