Got there @3:30 and already 8th in line,felt like opening day because the line went out the gate. Someone blocked the gate so Jose had to walked in. Met Dave, Steve and couple new friends, Dave went to Pine and I went to Hauser, hoping it won’t be the last Wednesday for me. Started across Pigs on ...

Spoiler alert — the fishing is good!

My son and I arrived late (~10:30) and closed the place down as usual. In contrast to last weekend when we were catching most of our quality fish along rocky shorelines, Sunday was all about finding them in the stick ups. I beat Theo 34/31, but he scored the ...

Had a little bit of everything out at the Big B this morning. Watched a bobby sleuthing along near vertical rocks looking for prey, man their paws grip good! Then along with Early Release Dave and Pourboy Chris watched a hungry osprey attacking unsuspecting bass too lazy on the surface, not once ...

Hit it again. Barrett lake post. Jigs Ikas Senkos Swim jigs.....

I fished top water first around 5 am just barley able to see the sticks. Not getting the love on the little walking bait, so the whopper plopper did the job. They were all over it. One hit it loaded up set the hook as it jumped WP came flying out and stuck in my bare foot. Look down 1 hook buried ...

Nice they didn't sell boat tickets. Early ready for the top water like last times and nothing. Well I got 1. Water is down another foot from last week. I was wondering if this was going to be a day I don't hit the Barrett goal. I finally found some bitters on DS, jig and split shot rig 15 to 25'. I ...

Early in and on the water in the dark. breezy no top water hook ups, would throw on missing for the bite. Fishing was pretty much like last trip. Picking them up on DS, TR and split shotting. Moved around looking for new places. Went to the dock fish were busting on the deep end on small bait. Hit ...

Barrett is such a great fishery that its ideal for learning new or polishing up unused presentations. That’s certainly been the case for our boat in 2025 with jig n craws so we decided after watching young legend Theo drop shotting with success and DFishin also amassing numbers doing similar, to ...

I woke up at 2:15 my usual time to head to Barrett. Body said nope and went back to sleep and woke up at 6 ready to go. When I arrived I saw Shawn and Theo heading out. The weather was nice no big winds and not to hot. Not being dark missed that fishing fun. Not many rollers then none. No topwater ...

Nice job guys! Bet it was a tad hot
out there, but you guys pulling in bass
after bass probably never even noticed… ha ha Thanks for sharing and tight lines always!

Big C. That was you I saw. Nice 4 lber. I watched you land that one good job. I thought you were Jwall and told Shawnster you were jwall and he jetted over to say high, my bad.

Didn't get there at the open around 6. Shawnster and Theo launching also. I decided to head to Pine. That was not good for me. Saw Big C and Max. Watched Big C land his 4 lber. I headed out to Becky's and so did Shawn. Becky's not producing as it was lined with yak. So I headed to main lake and ...
