- Barrett Lake Update
Water levels are dropping, and this has affected the shallow bite. Smaller fish are still being caught in the shallows, but most quality fish are pushing deeper. Aside from this slight change, the fishing has been excellent. A young angler pulled out a 12-pounder last week, and others have reported finding fish in the 4-7 pound range consistently...
Water levels are dropping, and this has affected the shallow bite. Smaller fish are still being caught in the shallows, but most quality fish are pushing deeper. Aside from this slight change, the fishing has been excellent. A young angler pulled out a 12-pounder last week, and others have reported finding fish in the 4-7 pound range consistently. But as mentioned, quality fish haven't been shallow. Senkos have been the go-to, fished weightless in 10-15 feet of water. Drop-shotting 6-inch roboworms has also been productive. There's also a solid topwater and reaction bite (on cranks) first thing in the morning.
