Well, that's it for me for this year.

Got to the lake in the dark. Met Chuck and we had a nice time. Water temp was at 70F and by the end of my day it went to 73F. Light wind from the North early.

We were determined to catch fish on topwater and I'm happy to say it worked out. Chuck was getting takers on the frog, and I was enjoying using my much loved popper. Nothing large today, but a lot of decent 2 pounders. Pedaled over to Pine arm to see what we could catch and got a few on the squarebill and most came on the little Rapala and little Daiwa shad. Wind came up at 1000 or so and was howling, so that pretty much ended my efforts. Pedaling back was an effort, but it was nice to think about a great season at the lake we all love. One more weekend go have fun.

Thanks so much for the final report! You got your workout in for sure it sounds like. Glad you had a great year out there. Cheers!

Nice wrap up and those pics are really good. None really do Barrett justice but those are close!

Awesome report as always brotha, till next year see you on the other lakes sure was a super fun year, still thinking of that day we had that topwater morning bite ...it's was nuts

Thanks for the report.. and the wind was no joke today

That 1st photo is beautiful. So nice to be on the water at sunrise. Makes me wish I was there right now.

It was a nice morning til that wind came up. Another fun day, already missing this place. Can't wait til next year, hopefully more rain on the way.

Need more rain

Another nice report from Barrett Dave. Thank you for always sharing your adventures.
You and many of the others that contribute to the Barrett reports looks like you guys always have some really fun times.
Catching lots of bass on so many different baits and really enjoy the great pics.
During the offseason at Barrett, maybe I'll see you on one of the other City lakes.
Best Wishes and Tight lines to all of you

Great report my friend and that sunrise shot takes my breath away. Thats a big reason we all fish for moments like that we've all experienced. Great season !!!

Now you guys have to tally your entry fee expenses and figure cost per fish lol

We do have a lot of fun at Barrett. Now that it's closed, I'm planning on invading Murray and Miramar, seems like Hodges is a bit murky. San V is more of a commitment because I park at the top parking and wheel my kayak all the way down. That's ok, but the return going up is like an expedition for this old man.

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
