Got up this morning and decided today would be a good day to head to the Berry before the next series of storms roll in. My Dilemma though is the boat has been winterized, and I am not much of a bank fisherman. But nonetheless I wanted to get up there and just enjoy the lake. It is such a peaceful place for me to unwind and rejuvenate my spirits.
I got to the Lake about 9:00 am because I didn't really want to go freeze my butt off earlier. The temp going up Daniels was 21 degrees. I decided to head to Renegade, but by the time I got there someone was fishing where I wanted to go. So I back tracked over to the north shore of Indian Creek. It has been hot for Bows all year so I was excited to go give it a try. The walk to the point I wanted to fish took me about 45 min to get to, It would prove well worth the effort. I got to the point about 9:45 am. I got both poles in the water quickly and the action was none stop. I started with a Worm and bober on one pole, and PB on the other. The worm was the ticket. I reeled in the PB pole and put on a white tube jig and tipped it with a worm, I proceeded to catch Nice cuts about every 15 min or so. After about 1:00 pm the fishing slowed abit so I started to experiment. Tied on my Lucky Craft and first cast snagged it up and lost it, That sucked.
After losing my "expensive" lure, I tied on my favorite Ice jig with about 5' of leader under a bober, and tipped it with a worm, wow! I couldn't keep it in the water, they would swarm it. I could see several fish fighting for it at a time, It was awesome.
I finally got my fill of catching fish about 3:00 pm and packed up and headed home, I estimated catching about 25 fish, with 2 over the slot, no rainbows, all cuts which surprised me. I did have one huge hog that I caught on the jig and as I got him close to shore he snapped my line, I estimated him about 28" and thick.
It was a fun day to be at the berry!
