There are things better left unknown. This may be one of them.

Love the answer!
That is the same answer I would give if somebody asked me how much I spend each year at Tackle Warehouse....ha ha

Lake Barrett Fishing: Bass & Crappie Dialed In!
https://youtu.be/6FGY3yhfw2k

Hey all we are at the finish line! It’s been a great year at the Big B and next year can’t get here soon enough. This report is actually from the previous week, but I will have my finale report for you next week. Hopefully ...

Awesome vid brotha .....

Terrific video my man. I loved seeing you catch the crappie on the old school lure. Is that jig rod new? What kind is it a Kisler? What length?

Hey thanks man! It is a newer rod. I have had it for about 6mos. I absolutely love it! So light and sensitive. I got a Nitranium also but like this one ...

That’s a great point you’re fishing in the beginning. You wouldn’t even know it was there without a graph or low water

That it is. I have a few go to jig spots and that’s definitely one of them. I remember seeing it when it was a super low water year and realizing how much structure was there ...

Just being out there is great but happy to share the knowledge. Much more to come. Excited for the next adventure.

So the early charity and insider club season is on for 2025 and it sure looks like this year is going to bust out with both numbers and size. I was fortunate enough to get an invite today and happily paid the premium for myself and the better half. After a very chilly morning (low 40’s if that) the ...

Today was a super nice day at the lake only thing missing the topwater.... can't wait till the lake opens next month... see you there bud

Thanks for a great post!

It was a really awesome day! Yes there was a legitimate 11.3 pounder caught. I myself reported to the group four fish over 5lbs, but in reviewing my saved scale numbers one of them was actually 4.8. My final numbers were 43 bass, 2 very large crappie and a slab of a ...

I had a great time out there yesterday! Was awesome to meet and fish with everyone. I can’t wait to get back to Barrett!

Top water was there if you know where to go. I got 20 on the popper, didn’t try anything else cause it was too much fun. Ended up @50 and a nice 4 and 5s on ...

Wasn’t the entry fee or cost to attend (fish) was about $300-$400 and was that per person or per boat?


There are a number of private fundraiser events scheduled before the opener. They went from $250 per person up to $3000 for a package. That was not what I wanted to do. I wanted to raise money ...

Had a lot of fun with my buddy Max yesterday at Barrett. We got 108 between us with Max getting the majority of them. One of the highlights of the day was him coaching me on jig fishing which produced the bigger models.

Nice fatty of the day ... great report cant wait till the lake opens in a few week. Glad you made it on the road before the rain hit the lake .....

Awesome report as always. I tried to convince my in-laws to donate for a tax write off and that I’d go on their behalf but by the time I checked, the boats had already sold out! Any idea on how the other anglers did?

Well Junkie's you have been waiting and soon it will happen again.......the 2025 opening of Barrett. From all the reports that I have heard it should be another great season. PLEASE respect the loading and unloading zone launching at Piggy's.....that is the area close to the shore. Also it is no ...

Our Foundation, San Diego Anglers Foundation, brought Wounded Warriors to Barrett today and it was wide open. We fished from 7 am to 2:30. Every boat caught between 75 to 144 fish. Lots of these guys had never caught a bass before and they left the lake feeling like experts. It was a heavy overcast ...
