WOW WHAT A SLEEPLESS WEEKEND.
WELL HERE WE GO.....MY SON HAD A GIG FRIDAY NIGHT WITH HIS BAND, SO I DID NOT GET HOME UNTIL 1230AM. I CRASHED UNTIL 145AM AND THEM OFF TO PICK UP MY FRIEND DINO AND THEN STRAIGHT TO BARRETT LAKE WHICH IS A LIMITTED ACCESS LAKE. IT'S ONLY OPENED FROM MAY TO SEPT ON A WED, SAT, AND SUN SCHEDULE WITH A 25 PARTY OF 4 LIMIT.
FYI FOR ALL TUBERS, YAKKERS, TOONERS WE NOW HAVE A NEW LAUNCH AREA. THE BIG POINT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE DOCK. THIS IS GREAT NEWS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CRAZYNESS OF THE DOCK PLUS YOU PARK ABOUT 10-15 YARDS FROM THE WATER.
OK ON TO THE FISHING. WIND WAS ALREADY UP WHEN WE LAUNCH AND JUST ABOUT STAYED THAT WAY THE WHOLE TIME THERE WITH JUST A FEW CALM TIMES, AND PARTLY CLOUDY.
FISHING WAS MORE QUALITY TODAY THAN QUANTITY. I ENDED UP WITH ABOUT 30-35 BASS AND LOST AT LEAST 10 WHICH SHOOK OFF THE BARBLESS HOOK OR GOT ME IN COVER AND BROKE ME OFF.
I ONLY MANAGED 2 ON THE SPINNER BAIT AND 2 ON THE UNDERSPIN. THE REST CAME ON THE FAT IKA JUNE BUG COLOR (#213). THE KEY FOR ME WAS STAY BACK AND QUIET AND MAKE A LONG PITCH ON TO THE GRASS MAT, SO THERE WAS NO SPLASH AND THEN LETTING IT FALL OFF THE EDGE AND BANG!
THE AVERAGE SIZE ON THIS PATTERN WAS 3# WITH ONE BIGGER FISH THAT BROKE ME OFF AND ALSO THE ONE CAUGHT OF VIDEO THAT I GUESS WENT 5#....I'LL LET YOU GUYS JUDGE AFTER YOU SEE THE VIDEO (SORRY GOT A LITTLE TO EXCITED AND HAD TO DELETE VIDEO).......HOW HEAVY DO YOU THINK IT IS?
DINO SHOOK A 6 INCH WORM (BUDDY BROWN COLOR) ALL DAY AND ALSO HAD VERY GOOD RESULTS WITH HIS AVERAGE ALSO BEING ABOUT 3#. DINO ENDED UP WITH AROUND 20-30.
I ALSO CAUGHT 3 HUGE BLUE GILLS ON A MICRO ROD WITH A MINI JIG JUST AS WE WHERE LEAVING ON THE BIG POINT, SORRY NO PICS OF THE GILLS BUT THEY WHERE SLABS THAT WERE WELL OVER A POUND.
GOT OFF THE WATER AT 130PM FOR THE 200PM CARAVAN OUT. GOT HOME BY 5PM TO GET READY FOR MY SONS NEXT GIG THAT NIGHT.
HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THE PICS AND VIDEO.
