I was stoked to hear about the Bug, had mine for years and have only thrown it couple of times.I was in the water about the same time down Hauser way and crushing big ones, same way double twitch and Bam . Can't wait to get back . GETT'EN BUGGY WITH IT

Nice work Dave!!

Yes sir nice break down

Great Job, proof good deeds provide great results!

Was lucky and got boat tickets for Saturday and Sunday .
First trip this season for us ..
Camped at the Skyline RV Ranch , only a few minutes from the front gate. Up at 03:30 to the gate at 04:00 that’s way better than a 3 hour drive ..! Limited cell service, good power and water no issues, super ...

Yeah, they were busting lake crazy and chasing bait in a giant circle (think 400 yard diameter, at least) at the very beginning of the Pine arm just north of where the port-a-potty used to be at the Hauser/Pine split.

I managed a 4 pounder on a keitech out in the middle (among other basically 2 ...

Thanks guys for the info. Going Wednesday.

Got most of the way beck in Hauser by 5:30. Our first stop yielded 10 on various flukes and shad roboworms thrown at trees and the banks. We kept hearing splashes behind us so made the decision to chase boilers midlake. Nice payoff as we bagged another 21 throwing and dragging swimming minnows. Got ...

20230722_102221.jpg 5th time at barret last Saturday and it was another good day landed about 20plus with a bunch of early release ... parked at pigs and set sail for mid hauser. While everyone was on the shores i hit the middle of the lake and only saw one other guy chasing the boils... The boils ...

Sounds like a nice day almost like mine .... landed about 20 or so bass with biggest being 3.5 3.6... i have to say a barret 2 pound fish fights like a otay 4 pounder ...what jerkbait did you throw?

I agree with you both on Barrett bass’s fighting strength! My biggest weighed 4 on the janky scale I swear I’m going to replace but it fought like a 5 or 6. A super fun day despite the heat.

Great times Dave! If you can manage the heat, now is the time.

Fished last Wed and the one before, very hot, but good topwater action helps me forget about it.

Food for thought – not really trying to rub people the wrong way or start a huge internet discussion - just giving another very important perspective.

The easiest thing to do for the city is to shut it down so keep that in mind before you start blowing up the city. This is a really valid point and ...

Before you two took over my buddy towed me with his Kayak, while his buddy in another one held the side of my ...

You my friend have Barrett Fever. Turning into a true Barrett junkie. Keep the reports coming.

I’ve been stalking these forums for a while now, waiting for our chance to get on the lake. First time at Barrett was a Sunday, and it did not disappoint! What a beautiful gem of a lake it is, and such good fishing opportunities. We are beginner bass fishermen — two dads, and two boys 7 and 9 years ...

Up dark and early on Saturday morning and left the dock at 4:30a with my son (13) and my buddy Rick. We decided to jet all the way to the end of Hauser (20 minute total runtime), which is where we finished strong last month. Covering the gaps between the submerged trees and bushes with poppers and ...

Nice report Dave!!

Another great day on the water. I’m still healing up from my last few trips. Swelling in the fingers is going down, tooth holes healing up. I’ll be ready soon. Those Big Spotties really chew you up!
