That is a nice fish. I'm a big fan of the topwater bite at Barrett.

Great work. Did you ever replace the little Evergreen BFS crankbait?

Got out nice and early as usual. Air was warm and so was the water ( 81F) with a light normal wind, instead of the annoying strong early winds that have been there.
Pedaled over to Becky’s cove and found the usual friends there with the usual popper. Took a page from Pourboy’s last video and decided ...

Glad to see you are fishing again.

I didn't break the 3 pound mark, but had a lot of fun in the corner casting my Rapala at the clones. It was a mixed bag of 1 and 2 pounders and the occasional larger swimbait size bass. I mean a bass the size of a swimbait, not a bass that would eat a large swimbait. Ahaha. And keeping with the ...

Here's the update on 27 July. Got there at the usual time. Met a few of the usual suspects and we all headed out. Met one of the people on this site and had a nice chat. It was nice to meet you Steve. Warm at 0430 and the water was 79F. Very light and pleasant wind. Becky's cove has been busy lately ...

It's like a video game with the old graphics. Imagine what this will be like in 10 years. I have the panoptix on my kayak but I kind of only use it to teach me how the fish are moving. I definitely have learned somethings on how bass herd the bait while watching them at Barrett.

That's a great second trip to Barrett. When those busters are going it's so much fun to just cast in the mess of fish and see what you get.

That's fishing. You can feel like you really understand something and then it's all blanks. Nice job getting through and catching fish. Looking forward to getting out there with you.

Popper is always a go to lure . That my little Rapala was doing good numbers in that first spot we were, and then when I went around the corner it was like candy to the 1 pound club.

John, I have some of those Heddon crawlers and they work great. The pompadour throws a little more noise.

Hello all,

Well it was a toasty day on the lake yesterday. Reasonable at predawn of 70F. Unreasonable at a little after lunch at 107F in my truck, cooled down to 99F driving. At 0430 water temp was 78F. Without a moon, it was pretty dark at that time and the sun isn't really doing much until about ...

Done

Hello all,

Got out at the usual time, although it's staying dark for a while now. Water was 79, the air was still and pretty warm. Buzzed over to the other side of the lake and starting casting the pompadour at the shoreline and got the first fish at 0440. My nighttime photography skills are ...

I do love my bass fishing but I really want to do a trip like that. Those fish are like finding jewels in the water. Great video Chris.

Nice work Vinny!

Outstanding! Great fishing day and cool to see a bobcat.

Did you use Bart Simpson too?

Great report. I sure missed fishing with you guys.

Hello all,

Another fun day at Barrett. Got there a little later than normal, but still dark. It was actually chilly and I needed a sweatshirt. Water temp dropped a couple degrees also, it was around 76F. Headed over to Becky’s cove and proceeded to not catch anything at all for the first hour and ...

Got out on the water at the usual time with Chuck and Steve. Water was a little cooler at 77F, it warmed to 81F by the time I left. Air was warm and a slight breeze. I think we can all start sleeping in, since it seems like very little happens in the dark, which it is until almost 0600.

Picked up a ...

We have to get out there again, before the season closes. I need another day with a delicious beverage.
