Hit the Berry yesterday afternoon. Only fished for a few hours and caught 6 really nice size fish. I missed at least double that. I have a two pole permit, and trying to fish with two poles on a pontoon was not that easy. There were a few times I had fishing striking both poles, but everytime I put one down to pick up the other, he was gone, and would hit the other pole. I was using a smoke colored curly tail jig with a black head, tipped with minnow. Most of the fish were in 35-40 feet of water. They were at all levels, but mostly suspended about half way up. We were pretty much alone in the water. There were a few when we got there, but they left, and only saw one person fishing from the bank. Wind kicked up a few times, but it was pretty good for the most part. I can't wait to get up there again. I just need to decide whether or not to try two poles again. All fish were in the slot, with half of them close to the 22inch. Had a blast.
