Spoon minnows work the best

Barrett does fiberglass boats now? Looks like pics from different trips/lakes. Why post pics from last years trip???

Nice. Great numbers for your first time there. Even if they are small, no complaints. No bullheads on the plastics? Usually you get a few bycatches on the cats up there. The big ones are there. The bigger baits entice the bigger bites. Especially with stained water

Those are some nice weights on the fish. Well done

Nice!!

Well the fiberglass boat pic is gone, still all different pics from different days/years. No need to embellish a Barrett report… the pics question the validity of the overall report.

It boggles my mind why someone would feel the need to post a fake report- especially Barrett?

It’s Barrett, it’s an amazing fishery.

Maybe some feel they need to embellish numbers like lost count over 100… maybe insecurities, justifying far drives from out of town with a lot of expenses? Who ...

But who's posting fake reports?

Geecrack bellows gill 3.8", weightless t-rig - green pumpkin and summer gill were getting hit pretty regularly for me last year around laydowns and submerged grass


How you like those geecrack? I been meaning to try those for a while now but haven't pull the trigger i know ecbt now carry them ...

Why keep editing the same photos from different years? Too funny!!!!!! Maybe delete last year’s photos from your Barrett report in 2024 and your opener report may be more believable- NOT

Awesome!

Awesome

I'm out of the loop.. what's going on??

See my other reply. Messing around. But there is a report section. Take all the carp you can.

That was and is a special lake. I’ve been fishing there for over 35 years. Back in the day, they didn’t care when you got on the water, we used to launch our tubes at 4am on the remote side by goat island. It could be almost every cast on an old hula popper in the dark. They definitely have some ...

I second Roosevelt. Amazing smallmouth fishery. Close to east side of Phoenix.Never fished the lakes below it but I have seen big fish come out of them. If you’re in the Payson area, head to show low. Cool town with a few lakes that have great bass fishing.

Spoonminnow hasn’t fished the canals in Yuma. Yet he will tell you how to fish them with his New York farm pond techniques.

Wow

Braid is asking for trouble. It’s all the hype now so to each their own. I never use braid unless I’m frogging or dropping iron deep.
