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

Got the chance to fish Barrett and jumped on the ticket. There was a little bit of weather with cloud cover the entire day. I found the water level 10-15ft lower than at closing time last season. It's great to get a visual on all the structure that is typically underwater.

Fishing was really good. My final count was 46 bass, 1 bullgill & 1 crappie with a 3lber being the largest. I ran through a good amount of baits and techniques before I dialed in the bite. Within little time, the bass and I were both focused on the Damiki DPop 70 in Black Holo. This was a new bait, first time using it and by the days end, it was hammered. They were on the Shad pattern, so I also through a 1/4oz War silver head with a 3" Big Hammer #21 - Threadfin Shad. Match the Hatch.

Great day overall and already looking forward to getting back out there.

Got a few on the 1/4-3/8oz Swimjig/Paca Craw trailer

Got a few fish on the WARBAITS Vibration Swimjig

Here are my 2 excotics. Lrg Bullgill and a 12" Crappie on the spinnerbait

At the launch I found this dead Shad. Match The Hatch
