Early Morning Bass Fishing on Barton Lake

I finally try fishing Barton Lake for the first time this year. I got to the lake early and it pays off. There were a few surprises on this trip.

Nice fish, I live on Barton and have fished Barton and portage lk. Since the early 80’s and have caught some big ones in both lakes. Have you tried tub, black and Howard lakes connected to Barton for bass?👍

I have tried tub, black and Howard but not very often. Tub I like, black I haven't caught much and Howard has usually been terrible for me. Fun to explore all of them though if I have the time.

D and R staff gives great info if you just ask someone. I like your lure choices. I used the sexy dawg jr on my last two trips. Sometimes I risk it and flip the big ones too. Especially when using braid.
