For kayak fishing, shore/float tube tickets? Never tried Barrett but from the sound of it from the board I want to try
Thanks!

Andy, congrats on the tickets.

Been fishing Barrett for 4 years now except for last year. The low water level and limited ability to move around and not get in the way of others kept me away. Though I would consider going again just to spend the night in Alpine, enjoy the Alpine brewery great food and bring home a couple of growlers. If you can get out and back to Alpine by the time they close I recommend a stop there. You can’t find Alpine beer down here so liquor stores there are an option.

Please let us know how it is.

PS, you sold me the green Thresher a couple of months ago. Love the boat, thanks for the great service.

I grabbed a kayak/tube spot on the 2nd weekend. It will be my first time in a kayak(usually get a boat) in that nice little mud hole.

Last year shad colored rapalas cast right up to the bank was the ticket for me.

Is there a separate kayak ticket? Or just buy shore/float tube ticket?
Thanks!

kayakers use the shore tube tickets. Last year's low water level was disappointing, but gotta get my fix!

Thank you for the reply!
Is the fishing good throughout the season? Or just the opening day?
I'm going to try for June for sure
Thank you again!

If you go read up on the regulations. Was barbless in the past and they enforce it. Some talk of changing that. Two of the four years we were there we were stopped by DFW boats. Both times they felt the barb on my hook to ensure it was completely pinched down and smooth.

These forums provide fish reports and info. In July and August it gets to be 100 degrees out there. Be sure to pack plenty of water.

Wow. Thanks for those pics. I haven't seen Barrett in ~10 years.

I started duck hunting Barrett in the 1990's. When the water level was up, they had 22 blinds scattered around the lake. During a drought, they only had room for 9 blinds and you could hardly draw a blind. The water was so low at some spots, you could shoot and almost hit the other side. Pathetic, so I quit hunting it. Looks about the same or worse actually now.

Good luck wackin' the bass!
