Bustin at Barren

[Lunker1]

Fished Barren Friday, Saturday and Sunday this past weekend and caught over 100 fish with 30 of them being over 15" and the biggest being 5 lbs. Friday was our best day when the clouds were thick and the light rain lasted until afternoon. We found 3-5lb fish stacked up in the back of Hurricane Creek and nailed em with spooks, pop-r's and swim baits in 1 ft of water. They were gone when the sun came out. Wish we were in a tournament that day! The rest of the trip we hit docks with jig & trailer combos and creature baits. Our next best bite came on deep diving cranks on points & riprap.

they didn't let up any today either. Plenty of fish 3-5 lbs just waiting to be caught, about any kind of way you want to catch them from topwater to 20 ft. Some of the best fishing I've seen here.

I third that....I hit BRL this evening for a few hours around 3:30pm....MAN O MAN!!! It was hard to go away from my NRL...but I was glad I did! Had my 8 yr old daughter with me...promised her I would take her out after school today...she had a ball! Every fish was a keeper, or darn near close to one! Caught them on shad cranks in 4-6 ft of water, and swim baits...anywhere there were shad popping, there were bass. Fun stuff! Several in the three pound range, and one nice one at 4.5. Think I might have to cheat on NRL again this week, haha!

caught them up in the head of a major creek, midway out the creek on a flat, on the points near the mouth of the creek, and on main lake points; pretty much about every place we fished. Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, worms, tubes, jigs, traps, flukes, and crankbaits all produced fish. Pretty incredible that you could catch nice fish on such a variety of lures, locations, and depths. I don't ever recall having done that. Usually I'll stick with what starts working, but we moved around a lot and tried different things, and most everything seemed to work. I guess it's a good time to try out that new technique you been thinking about but haven't yet. I might have to try out a swimbait tomorrow.

Just got up this morning to head back fishing. Better take something to eat just in case I stay 'til dark.

Yeah, everything must have lined up just right for as many fish as we caught. Every place we fished produced at least a couple. It's nice to have a bit of luck every now and then. Been a tough year for me.

Fished all day today in new water from yesterday and caught 3 keepers nothing over 3 lbs, maybe 25 fish in all, most over 12". Caught all of them on a crankbait and tube. A couple of missed popR blowups early, and several blown bites with breakoffs and bad hook sets. Wind made it tougher feeling bites and getting a good hookset. No where near the shad activity as there was yesterday. A little disappointing, but still a good day.

Were they in jumps? Did ya see any Hybrid jumps?

[Lunker1]

Saw some small fish in the jumps. Casted a few but no luck. Really did not see any big boils. Are there big Hybrids in Barren?
