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. |

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

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! |
