I thought you might catch 100 Bass, I haven’t been to Barrett in years, I can’t even remember how long it’s been.
I do remember the last time my buddy and I went we got SKUNKED believe it or not, it’s hard to believe.
Congrats are in order.

Totally fun morning! It was definitely slower Sunday than it was the previous weekend, but I managed 24 in about 5 hours which is still a great day at any other lake. After the wind got bad I fished off the shore at Pigs and managed a few more.

Always a great time fishing with @dannicus @Early ...

Great to see you guys out there. It sure made the morning go by quick telling our stories. :) Next time we need to bring breakfast.

I tried to force topwater and didn't get a lot of fish on it, I think plastics and jigs was the thing to use yesterday. They seem to be hovering a bit offshore in 15 ...

You know, it's like @Pourboy said yesterday when we were leaving; people sometimes hear the stories about Barrett, and think you just have to throw in a line, and you'll catch a bunch of fish, but that's not necessarily true. You still have to know how to locate fish and apply good techniques to ...

Super fun being out there. I ended up with 25ish. Biggest was just under 4lbs. Great spending time with you guys. Cheers!

In line at 3:30 Dave and Chuck loaded and gone at Pigs. I take a while to pack the tube. Did my usual to get the skunk off before I set out, used my same texas rig from El Cap except no barb.. Lite wind already, headed across the lake. Topwater I had blow ups no solid hook ups, throwing the TR after ...

Nice report Dave.
Our decision to go back of Hauser was a good idea, we found them on top water. I was able to get them with the frog, a 4 and couple of 3s, popper , plopper also produced but some of the bass was paper thin!
That was the worst wind I’ve seen there, especially at 10am! Usually it’s ...

Top water would of been nice. I thought I could travel with out concern. I know better now, looking at options for a bigger TM. Tommy said he talked to you and Dave.
In the picture of you two, I could hear you guys talking, you should be fishing when Dave talks it's fish on.

Nice report Dave,

Like Chuck said our decision worked out yesterday. We stopped along the way at a couple spots and got lucky on the topwater. I always like to catch fish in the dark, it's more of surprise. The ones in rear Hauser were a bit skinny. This fish was 4 pounds 4 ounces with a 6 pound ...

On the water with my two boys and a boat ticket just before 7am. Our confidence spots were not hitting as hard as they have been over the past few weeks. Stayed in the main lake until we picked up a buddy at 9am. I focused on various top water approaches — flukes and small poppers produced the best ...

Dan, I had first hand experience watching you catch bass after bass after bass using your BFS gear. When you showed me the baits and equipment you use it was pretty amazing to me. Here I have everything that’s heavy, extra heavy, or mag heavy but you’re living proof that you don’t need all that to ...

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

I think bfs should b fishing on advanced mode with light line tiny hooks boy is it fun to actually have to tire the fish out and not just ski the fish in

Ike! Looks fun!

Wow just found this. Back in the 80's and 90's I used 6lb test, like clothes it's made a come back. Look forward to posting on here.

Haven’t been to Otay in ages was one of my favorite lakes back in the 80’s along with Hodges, we used to kill it in Harvey’s arm, I’m going to try and get my friend ( Ramona ) to take his now repaired boat down there. Curious if the trees way down Harveys are covered in water, what the level the ...

Thanks for getting this in the forum section, I’m very interested.

Thanks for the post. I like how you are concentrating so hard to take the pic. I always make funny faces.

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.
