Going to Barrett
 

So are there any go to baits or techniques for Barrett? As much as I love the green bass, I suck at catching them lately. So, any help is appreciated.

I plan on bringing my Senkos (my go to everywhere), couple Warblades, couple chatter baits, and my paddlerz and grubs.

Not an expert by any stretch but I'll share my 1 Barret trip. The wacky rigged senko got by far the most bites. Got a few on tube bait too. Dead sticking senkos got boring do I went to a bass assassin jerk bait. Got some fish on it but nothing like the senkos. Mike

I fished crankbaits and senkos

Shad colored crankbaits that bump off the muddy bottom.
White spinnerbaits

small swim baits that mimic shad..I also fly fish there. Let us know how it went. This is the first opener ive missed in years.

last year it was the square billed cranks in shad, year before was the blade..........worm always seems to get numbers......I'll take 1 pig over 10 dinks!:D SD Fish will have fresh intel before we go.

Thanks guys! It's my first trip to Barrett and it's been a year since I last saw freshwater (and that trip didn't go well). I'm exited and a bit nervous.

Bigger bait bigger bass.....
 

I like to start out with the purple 5"Roboworm with silver stripe.it has caught more bass then I can remember at Barrett, all these plastic will work, a deep diving Rapala always gets the crappie plus bass.....someone told me they were letting you keep fish not sure if this is true good luck
ps...reapers work good to
if you want a big bass try a rubber blue gill or the biggest swim bait you got I'm talking 8 to12ins

Thanks Duke.

Don't forget to take some spinnerbaits.
