We hit barnes lake the other day, weather was clear and cold, wind was howling, didn't hook into anything, tried jigs, plastics some plugs got nothing to take, just seemed too cold, this lake was much deeper in spots then I first thought, the bass were not in the shallows as of yet in this lake. I talked to one of the locals who live on the lake and said there wasn't much bass in there anymore that the catfish have taken over, I find that hard to believe. will try this lake again when temps warm some, kinda having trouble finding any bass in my usual spots this year, guess it's time to head to Mexico and hit lake saltillo.

To try lk-saltillo in Mexico ? Right on! You might not want to come back.I've watched the shows also and those guys are there for a week fishing.Then put that in a 30min show. So you don't know if a person can do well in a few days.I'm willing to give it a try!! FISH ON!!!!!

Hey Keith, you can fish this lake, there just is no public acess, I had to talk to 6 diff people before someone let me put my boat in. the lake is at the trosper road exit in tumwater by costco, take a right on 2nd and lake is there but hard to see or take a left at the school or 4 way stop then turn left on lakeshore drive i think you can see lake that way.
