BARRETT LAKE 05/08 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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..

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.

You pay your lake fee($20) at the gate entrance if you want to launch your kayak. Then you drive to an area called Pigs Point. It's 1/4 mi. before the docks. From Pigs Point you may take your time unloading and launching from a beach point. bring your wheelie cart...lake is down a bit and the walk is 75-100 yards from parking. You also have the option of launching your kayak by the docks.

It's a blast right now. On cinco de mayo I got an 8.3 and a 6.11.

Is that a PVC bumper kit on your tube?

I was there on sat/11th. It was hot and windy. Started wide open at the dam, but slowed down as the sun rose. Shad pattern was working. If you go to piggy point, you should drop down toward the docks. The lake is way down so the old way is steep. Note: No shade anywhere near the water. Lake is low

In a way, yes. But it's design is to hold fish finder, camera and light mounts(Phase 2 yet to be completed). The other side is identical with rod holders attached. It's a copy of this design...http://fishingnetwork.net/forum4/sho...to-quot-w-pics
