Finally the bite was back on at Barrett! I went in late April for the Cast Hope event then a couple days in mid-May, and the bite was unusually tough and slow. But last Sunday, almost from the get-go, I could tell it was going to be different.

Started out on the Pine arm of the lake and found some ...

Good to see a couple bigger models not paper thin.

Those two bigguns set yall apart!

Nice job guys!

It has been a while since I have seen that kind of size out there! Good work!

Had grand kids coming today around 1pm so made it a short session. Absolutely beautiful morning and even light showers for 30 mins didn’t dampen the day. Caught 27 between us on swim senkos, jigs, reapers, and 4” regular senkos. Most came in Hauser after giving Pine a try early. Been a while since ...

Launched at Piggy's around 6 am and to my surprise there were only 5 other cars there. You can almost back right to the water line to launch. If you have fished Barrett in the past you pretty much know the pattern(s) this time of the year. My success continues to be the 1/8 oz underspin with a ...

Beautiful morning at the magic lake with a tiny crowd (only 7 names on the list!) and the bass were biting! We nailed 47 and we had lines in at 10:30. Swim senkos early then reapers and drop shot Robo Hologram Shad worms were the ticket. Smaller models today up to 2lb 9oz but no complaints with the ...

Nice job John. Me and Theo had an all day session yesterday and definitely noticed an uptick in both quantity and quality. We were chasing busters all day, ended with 80 between us. Great day on the water.

What a day at Barrett yesterday. The weather forecast kept changing with that weather system we had rolling in but I’m glad I stuck it out and went anyways. Got to Pigs a little after 5am and there were only 4 other cars there. Day started with an incredible sunrise. It was cloudy but warm and humid ...

Final visit of the season for me and Theo. And what a weird season it was! We only fished Barrett about a quarter as much as we have for the last several years. But I am so glad we decided to give Barrett a proper goodbye today—she replied with quite the send off!

We ended with 117 landed (on the ...

Very nice report Big C!
Max is one heck of a good bass fisherman and you no doubt got to experience it over the years of fishing together with him. The bass are out there, but sometimes it takes that little extra knowledge to be able to always entice them even when they are being finicky. Always ...

The weather wasn’t too hot and the light breeze made it comfortable. It’s always a blast and never a dull moment being in the water with Big C. Thank again for securing a boat for the closer. Hopefully the fish will put on a little more weight by next May.
