San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

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 ...

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!

Good report! Those bluegill out there have some chests to them.

When does the season end there and when would be the last date on Tix-master to get tickets?

Sounds like fun! I always bring a light rig and catch some bluegill if the bass bite gets too slow. Always fun and sometimes the bass like the small baits too.

Great report. Sounds like my kind of day!

Thanks for the report..!

Great report as always Dave! That was truly a great day getting them on top water especially a 4lb der on a popper. This place is magical!

In the market for a new FF and will give the Panoptix a good look. Thanks for your report. Going next Saturday!

On my end, Today was an experimental one where I tried to get into a larger grade of fish. I started off strong with 7 fish on the jig out of 20 feet of water, got 3 more on flylined 6 inch Tiki Shad’s,(Similar to Yamamoto Shad Worms) they sink enticingly and fast on a 4/0 EWG heavy flipping hook, I ...

Got to the lake @430, headed to Hauser, fishing in the dark and fighting the mosquitoes, bugs. Very slow for the first two hours, only managed 4 and two aggressive blue gills. Busters were around but didn’t last long after the sun came up. It was super hot and humid! Ended up at 20 bass 2 gills ...

This is a good question that never comes up, as rain during the Barrett season is rare, but is this venue rain or shine?

I'd love to be out there in the rain in the middle of the summer, considering the alternative.


It's rained on me this year once, and kind of drizzled another time this ...

Got on it early with a spectacular lightning show motoring out in Hauser. The pics don’t do it justice! Anyway as often happens with approaching storms, the bite was good. Got first and biggest fish on a new 4 bladed white spinnerbait, followed by more on flukes, splitshot worms deeper, then the ...

I was more interested in the weather than the fishing today so thanks for the report.

Great meeting you finally and spot on description of how fast the conditions changed! We all did good for those first hours then smart to skeedaddle!

Smart to get out before the storm Dave. Save it for another day.
