San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Hi

We are getting to the end of the Barrett season, only a couple more days of the lake being open. Got there around 0500 and it was a pretty packed lot at pigs, so everyone was getting their last casts in, I'd guess. Air temp was cool, water temp was 71-72F. Maybe a little breeze occasionally, but nothing like last week. Had a meeting to attend in the early afternoon, so it was a short day for me, I was off the water about 10AM. Breeze had picked up a bit out of the W/SW. Water temp made it to 73F.

Popper in the shallows scored a few fish for me, pompadour and spook were duds. Mid depth squarebill did most of my work and then the BFS stuff I always go to produced some decent fish. Fished a bit with El_prowler_619 and he did his usual magic with plastics ( lizard and 9"worm). Reports were mixed, but most of us seemed to get our fish early and then it dropped off a bit as the sun came up. I didn't see any busters at all yesterday.

Thanks for the reports.....!!

Saturday was fun brotha right when I launched I stop at the coves on the left side going down pines and picked off fish with the popper... I can see why you like the popper that thing was getting hitting like crazy in the morning .... one thing I learn from you was never put down the topwater till next trip my friend stay safe
