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..

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?
