Powell hands Down

What is with these lakes so close to the Mexican Border? Well Barrett is not on the Border as close as Falcon and Amistad are but it is only a mile away and has Border Patrol running around doing their thing here in California. Any ways on to the Fishing.Took my friend Riley out for his second trip to Barrett and put him on some fish as well as getting a few for my self. Producing Baits were Blk/blu Skinnybear jigs with the Paca Chunk,trigged Superhogs,Senkos and a few on lipless redeye shads.About 10 hours later fully exhausted and about 30 fish each. Nothing gigantic but plenty of healthy ones.Most of the Fish were caught hitting the many rock walls letting the bait fall till it got hit and reeling up and hitting assorted nooks in the rock faces after letting the bait sit for less than 10 seconds. I love Bassin

It might IMO. I would have at least have alconite guides at the bare minimum to play it safe.

Theres nothing wrong with my GLX! iM NOT CLICKING THAT LINK! Financial trouble ahead!

The citica is a great workhorse reel. Shimano has outstanding customer service as well

The Cara version of this rod work wonders as well.My favorite Jig rod

The fish are already wet Just kidding depends how cold it is

Now those are some freaking Hogs right there!Nice ones sir! Both those are no smaller than 13lbs Imo

M Son has been telling me about that pond Nice !

OINK!!!!!!!!

Pink Senkos

Those two pics that you are asking about are of the same fish.It was a hair under 7lbs. My Boga scale does not weigh oz.something like 6.88 if I remember correctly. Northerns put up a stronger fight imo That pond in your Avitar has some nice Bass in it I still hope?Got this one out of there a few years back.10lbs 2 oz.That pond got overrun with the Carpage nastymus

Falcon Cara 6'10''mh split grip is my favorite rod for Jigs.

couple more

Actually fished it a few weeks before but brought My son Shayne and my buddy Josh this time. I had done pretty good a few weeks before on Jigs,Cranks,and a combination of trigged Baby Brush hogs/super hogs and turned these guys on to the same This lake is loaded with Northern Strain and no Florida Strain which is rare for southern California.And no contrary to popular opinion its not all about Swimbaits and Dropshots out here. 14 hours of fishing and we ended the day with about 80 fish bettween us.Good times. Here are some of the good ones.

Sitting down may pose some problems on the hookset with bigger fish.

Jackall 7' diving Muscle Deep Clear sexy Shad with no eye balls.They Came off after banging off the rocks

GLX Top notch Rods . Spinning rod for Drop shot . Meduim Heavy Bait caster for Jigging

If you can afford its always nice to have a set up of both.

For rocks Skinnybear Bass jigs from ***.Netbat paca chunks for trailers or the roboworm kickin craw

Sometimes you may need to clip the weed gaurd or fluff it out a bit...To much weed gaurd Might also contribute from getting a good hook set

Curado

Crucial is a good Jig rod for the money but I would use it in 7'foot

LoveLand?I Know that Lake well.
