Round 2 this morning was even better than round one. The fatties came out to play this morning. Couple on a bladebait to start the morning, a clone sized one and a chunky ~ 4pounder. Surface activity picked up and I immediately went to the fish roller. First cast, my bait got hammered and my drag ...

Chunks=)

That June bug pays off again. That and your accurate casting and all around expertise.

Hmmmm??? No way...I'm thinkin more like 4.49!!!! Kidding ya...couple of fatty fish! I hate to think what they've been eating that floats down that River. Good job being persistent and nailing those two chubbys!

Them some solid chunks....

Water is back to a normal level and the ramp is fully functional

Awesome Vinny! Rats are fun you should definitely give it a go lol.

Well wintertime and things have slowed way down at Murray. I've managed to avoid the skunk so far by the skin of my teeth. All I've been able to get have been a few clones on jigs in 15-20 feet of water. Most of the bass seem scattered and deep.

Still, I was able to pull in a few nice little slab ...

It was a T rig and jig morning, got a nice surprise pulling the chatter over a snag.

Hello all,

Not too much to post here, but Vinny is right, there's not a lot of bass activity on the site. Went to El Cap on Sunday morning. Decided I probably was only pedaling about, so didn't go at dark and wait in line. Got on the water about 0730. It was still cold out and the water was about ...

Sweet! I appreciate the report! I’ll be out at cap on Friday and I’ll report back! Gonna try a red squarebill.

Thanks for the update! I always love the intel. Still trying to figure out where to go this Sunday.

I’m still posting at least almost every time I hit Otay, just updating my existing thread with pics and info. I feel like all SD knows about that bite now just based on the number of people hanging out in that spot

Hi Vinny,
I think most Barrett fishermen are trudging around looking at the floor waiting for May 2025. We alternate looking at the floor with looking at the calendar to see if we are a day closer to opening. I personally learned I have a new(er) grandson who is apparently 4 years old already. So ...

Thanks for thinking of us Barrett guys Vinny. I just checked my calendar for opening day. Maybe I’ll see you at Murray for a warmup. I’ll probably catch two there compared to you ten.

Something tells me you know what you're doing! Must be your early start!

You know when it's going that badly, nothing beats a good fishing session. Nice work Vinny.

Nice job out there. I love the days with good rewards on the back end. Cheers!

This Barrett Boy tries to spend time on the bay this time of year. Seems like El Cap is first up after Januarys but thinking I will change that up based on coming reports. Then after May 1st, I too become monotonous

Still going, fished from 5:30-9 this morning and landed 9, lost 5 including a BIG fish (minimum 5) that I watched eat my bait, shoot straight down and break me off.

Also very cool to see @Pourboy out there this morning. Was a super fun short morning for me before I head out to band rehearsal.
