Wasn't able to get down there last year... looking forward to going back!

Are kayaks allowed? I only see ticket options for float tube/shore/motor boats.

I've never participated in the ticket system for a lake before. Lake looks amazing!

Yeah they are allowed. Kayaks count as a float tube with their reservation system.

Yeah, kayak is the same as a tube ticket. Just don't bring a trailer for the kayak. I yaked it for the 1st time at the Barrett "puddle" last year. Looking to enjoy it at +30 feet this year. It'll be my 7th consecutive year to fish it on opening month.

I'll bring cigars too this year!

Thanks for the info guys! Might have to try to snag a ticket!

Look forward to your report. I'll be there opening Saturday.

I got a tube spot for May 20th today, and let me know if you want a partner on the opener... I live in HB and we can take my truck if you want. ;)

Tim

Thanks Tim fishing with Tattuna as my add on "tube"

I have an open tube spot for sat. 5/6. You need to find a ride in.:auto:

Fun day, bitchen' weather decent fishing. spinner bait was my early producer, that shut off and the Fluke, worm and tube baits produced a pick bite until we bailed around 2pm. DS guys seemed to have consistent action....I am stubborn and fish what I want and drop shot is not on that list :D

Awesome Andy! :cheers1:

That was a blast! Stoked I got to finally fish there. Thanks again, Andy!

Started off with a line through fluke I rigged with a barbless treble and it was one after the other. Pretty non stop. Counted 21 landed by 7:30 including this one eyed guy

After that slowed I switched to jerk baits and a stick shad and got a few more

Once that slowed I tied on a swimbait and got a couple including my biggest of the day at around 3 lbs

By 9:30 it seemed like creature baits or worms were getting bit best.

Where did you end up parking

John said i can't bring my kayak trailer to lake Barrett because its so little parking!!!!!!!

is this true! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Yeah, no room for a trailer. Parking is pretty cramped and on a narrow dirt hill.

Nice Frank! We parked at Pig's Point with most of the tubers and pontoon boats and kayaks. My truck is among the ones on the far left and the launch was next to the white vehicle lower right, this is the furthest I have had to lug the kayak here. We have launched from the boat ramp area too (second photo)in the past much less chaotic in the dark with everybody rigging up.
