Water temp still low in mid 40's however there were a few kokes from what we saw caught, nothing fast & furious. Pink & orange were only colors that was working. Lost 2 on the reel in. We fished Soldier Creek side.

I was up today as well. Arrived at the Strawberry marina at 0630. Not another boat or trailer in sight - though 1 came before I got launched. Water was surprisingly clear, for this early. By 0800 I had 2 kokes and 3 cutts. Got 3 more kokes, one small one that I shook off, by 0900. One final cutt and decided to head home.

Water temp was 45* at the surface. Only one other boater near me, fellow BFTer Fishroof. Not sure how they did - hope they got a few.

We couldn't have picked a better morning to be out fishing the Berry . After we setup and got lines in the water , I had a quick hookup poles went Bendo but released as soon as it reached the surface . Never saw what is was. That happened two times during the day , BDuck had the Hot stick for the day.

I hit the Soldier Creek Side today. Cloudy and small breeze made jerkbait fishing really good. Once the sun came out they went deeper. Trolled and couldnt keep the the little planters off. Ended around noon.
