Hi All,

I read reports of people catching 40, 50, 60+ fish per trip. My most in one trip is only 15 but I tend to arrive late, well past sunrise. So my question is are people catching like 80% of those 60 fish before sunrise or is it a steady bite throughout the day? I tell myself to get there ...

Best bite is from 6-6! lol

I have had numerous days with 100 plus fish. Those day are reaction baits only. Stay away for plastic baits that presented slowly. Work hard at it and keep casting! Cranks, Jerks, Spinner, topwaters get it done!

Would concur for the most part but every now and then….was kicking my buddy’s ass ...

I have had 100 and 200 fish days on plastics. That's just how i fish. Although when top water is working I'm doing it. If you don't get bit keep moving. If they are there they will bite.

I had times where dropshot was getting bit on every cast for a while. My wife said I was just catching the same fish. So I let one flop around while I hooked another one to prove her wrong.

I love the dudes that are like, "I caught 124 and a half," as if they literally counted each one.

But who's posting fake reports?

I know my best day was around 25 and my buddy and I left at 1:00 we got tired, arm was feeling weak, so I think catching 125 seems a bit much to me.

Another one (youtube) went up after this weekend. Maybe time for the admins to step in. The group here is looking for helpful intel, not videos begging for views or bragging stories.

As a barrett regular i agree with you brotha .... I usually just tell they don't mike long yourself lol..also catching 100 fish a day is doable last month david and I diff had about 100 fish each but not all we keepers, unless its on video, picture, or somebody well known says it I dont really ...

Yea I know that for me (us), we all use separate golf click counters and we don’t “click” off, till it’s lipped. I see others saying “oh, about xx#’s”, that means they’re guessing at best. I discount their claims right off the bat!

Before we started to use the clickers, we know it’s very easy to ...

My 1st time at barret was a few years ago during opening month .. and I was only able to land 7 bass(biggest about 2lbs) the next few times I only landed 10-15 fish a trip (all day) I remember saying to myself "why all the hype " and ''there's no way people catch 100 fish a day".... fast forward ...

I try to post a report every time I go to Barrett. I do it, just to share the information with a bunch of people who I have gotten to know through this site and when I do, I hope it is helpful to others. Those people who see me on the water, know that I'll share what's working, if I have a pattern ...

Fishing it in the 80s back in high school days, everyday was a 100 fish day. That really does not count as the lake was closed to fishing.
During the Lottery Days there were a couple of hundred fish days for me right in the beginning. As time progress with fishing pressure counts got much lower ...

Its possible and I have legitimately clicked each one but let me tell you it takes the whole day of seriously wide-open fishing to actually get to 100. It’s not possible with most baits so keep that in mind. You’re not catching 100 on a senko the time it takes to sink a senko prohibits this.

It’s ...

Got to the lake at midnight and already 8 cars in front of me. The launch at pigs was smooth do to the high water. Parking was limited, don’t go pass the bathroom cause there’s no room to back up.
To the fishing, the lake is unrecognizable, water level looks full, the island towards Hauser isn’t ...

Forty by noon sounds pretty good.

Nice! But how do you leave opener at noon. I’m staying unless the bite sucks.

Great to be back at the Big B in 2023. Good thing we had our rain gear on as it came down loading the boat and the ride down Hauser. Between it being dark, raining and the super full lake we couldn’t find our old spots. When it got light I started with the spinner bait for nada. Switched to the ...
