Barren Bass

[Fast]

I will be in skaggs and beaver creek this weekend. I am in a burgangy colored Pro Craft with gold lettering. If you see me, stop and we will compair notes. Also, there is a tournament at Barren Aug 1. Sign on 31 e says it pays out $2000. I have not fished any tournaments this year but may try it. Do you know anything about it? Who to call? Fish on. Ed

This tournament info is posted here on the site now by someone, but it IS a big fish, night-time deal.
You do know the Fishers Of Men are having an event there Saturday right? If not I thought I would mention it since this means you will likely have company where you are going. I am in that event, and "Pastorbass" and I need to finish pretty well to move on since we are a few spots removed from making the cut, so although I would love to "compare notes" please do not think we are rude if we don't since it could get us DQ'd. We will be in my American Flag covered Returning Hero's Home Skeeter, if you see us (we won't be hard to pick out) say hello. We can talk to others, just not about fishing spots, bait, ect while on the water.
If anyone has any ideas on where to go we are all ears since I have been "grounded" (wife got feed up with all the tourney's and put me on weekend restriction for a few weeks ) for a while and am not going to be able to pre-fish it. Thanks for any help you can be (and if you can be help please PM me so not everyone in the world will see it), and either way have a GREAT WEEKEND ON THE WATER!!

Let me clarify what Rob is trying to say... He got the rules a little flip flopped If you have been on the water from safe light this Monday up until now, we can not use your information. Off limits period is from Monday the week of the tournament until Safelight on the Friday of the tournament. Anglers can not be on the water or solicit information from other anglers who were on the water during those periods. Just wanted to make sure we stay legal and there are no questions and definately no dq's. Thanks

Here what it was for me, got on the lake at 4:45, try a rock point with a crank and a black worm with no luck. Went shallow at first light and caught four on a black buzz. Had ahole of five or six more until about 7:00 and they quit. When to a rock bank and try a bandit 300, worm, spinner until about 10:00 and caught two. Went to a lizard and caught two more in about an hour, then went to the barn. All small the best two may have pushed two lbs.

got there @ midnight last night had whole lake to myself!!!!!!!!
the storms split and went around
all the fish i graphed were suspended aroun 14 to 16 foot
main lake temp is 77 or 78 and in the creeks it up as high as 85
caught 2 nice keepers and several dinks under a floating drop light after the bait fish started schooling around it using crank baits
an the 10" worm is always the goto bait

[homie452]

well how did everyones luck hold out last night?
we got wet an the fish i was on moved around a bit
got 2nd place at barren big bass classic
had a 4.34 and first was 4.35
(KINDA LIKE THE DIFFERANCE BETWEEN A BOLOGNA SANDWICH AN A STEAK DINNER)
caught several fish wacky wormin
and a fat free shad COOLER WATER SEEMED TO BE THE MAIN THING
