Local Lakes - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

By far the best is Lake Barrett for pure bassing fun. If you can get a
ticket. It's a whole day thing though. 20-30 bass days are not
uncommon, they are generally up to 4 pounds.

See the SDfish.com Lake Barrett board.

I've fished the other lakes in SD extensively as well, and they can be
decent or tough. Calico fishing in the kelp always seems to be my
option instead

Do the bass-math here:

Sweet Barrett pic. We used to sneak in there back in the 70's. The bass fishing was insane back when it was closed for years. Yeah I know, but I'm from El Cajon so it's expected.

Had to watch out for the armed guard back then but you didn't need a ticket.........

El Cap has been good to me on the Kayak this year. Barrett kinda sucks this year. I did worse there than I have been at El Cap (and we had the high count on the lake that day)

Ed I love the new Signature. I forgot about that until I saw your post. Awesome.
