BARRETT LAKE 05/08
Got the chance to fish Barrett and jumped on the ticket. There was a little bit of weather with cloud cover the entire day. I found the water level 10-15ft lower than at closing time last season. It's great to get a visual on all the structure that is typically underwater.
Fishing was really good. My final count was 46 bass, 1 bullgill & 1 crappie with a 3lber being the largest. I ran through a good amount of baits and techniques before I dialed in the bite. Within little time, the bass and I were both focused on the Damiki DPop 70 in Black Holo. This was a new bait, first time using it and by the days end, it was hammered. They were on the Shad pattern, so I also through a 1/4oz War silver head with a 3" Big Hammer #21 - Threadfin Shad. Match the Hatch. Great day overall and already looking forward to getting back out there. http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RRETT/SKY1.jpg http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RETT/AF-02.jpg http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RETT/AF-12.jpg http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RETT/AF-10.jpg http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RETT/AF-11.jpg Got a few on the 1/4-3/8oz Swimjig/Paca Craw trailer http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RETT/AF-05.jpg http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RETT/fish1.jpg Got a few fish on the WARBAITS Vibration Swimjig http://www.warbaits.com/news/2013/05...RETT/fish3.jpg Here are my 2 excotics.

Great report - thanks for the post - nice to see the Bass at Barrett are still hungry!!!
|
Nice report! Headed there on the 15th with Nic, his Dad and Jim Sammons. Can't wait.
|
I'm headed there on the 15th as well. Can't wait!
Thanks for the intel! |
I'd say 90% of the fish were unmarked (healthy looking). There are a lot of bass in the lake. I spent the entire day working pine arm with plenty of bites.
The top water bite really came together. The popper was the ticket, but I also got a few on the Sammy 100 and Spook. |
Strong work!
|
Killer report! :luxhello:
|
Topwater bite! Nice photos brings back memories. We spent a lot of days at Barrett in 2002-2004.
|
Thanks for the report. I'm going out there this month too. Looks like a good time was had.
|
NICE! I gotta get on some green bass soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
|
Nice photos! I love the top water bassing stuff!
|
Thanks for the report, can't wait to get out there next week. First time
|
Nice to know I can fish a PA there - so many of the lakes don't allow "Sit-on-Tops", that I can never tell where I can go and where I cant.
So I take it you have to get in on a ticket lottery to fish there or something? |
Great pics..
I've always wanted to do this. I've heard great things about Barrett. How does it work with the kayak? Don't the tickets include boat launch/rental? Do you tow the kayak? Or put it up on the boat? Or is there a completely separate kayak launch site? Thanks.. -J |
Nice! :cheers1:
karl is going to get something going soon. i hope to make it out with karl and your pops after standby 5/23 |
Fishninja,
I'm not sure about the boat launching but I've been before and there is a separate area to kayak launch. The boats are flat bottom aluminums with a small motor to get around. I've only been on a kayak though. |

Is that a PVC bumper kit on your tube?
