Fished the Berry with my father today. We hit he water at 7:00 a.m, and headed straight to our favorite spot just north of Mud Creek. On my first cast, I dropped my line in the water and had a fish on before the line even touched the bottom! We used glow in the dark, olive, and pumpkin colored tube jigs tipped with chub meat, and it produced fish almost all day. There were two 45 minute spans where we had no bites, but other than that we had a bite almost every cast. The fish finder showed a steady stream of fish in 35 ft. of water so we decided to stay in the same spot all day. The water was like a sheet of glass until about 1:15p.m, when a huge black cloud made its presence known and we decided to call it a day. It was a good thing too, because the wind and rain went crazy right when we got the boat out of the water. After all was said and done, we boated 36 fish between the two of us. All were cutt throats in the slot, except for two beauties that came in at 23.5 and 22.5 in. respectfully. We used the techniques taught to us by the jig master MGB, and it made for an awesome day.
