Got to an area about 1\2 mile walk from the ladders at sun up. Big fish were feeding on top. I had a few good attacks by some big fish but failed to hook them. My Fishing partner Chuck ( the man is a fish slayer ) pulls in a 24 inch cutt that had to go over 7lbs maybe 8 being conservative. No scale to be sure but the biggest cutt ive witnessed being pulled to shore at the berry. We kept that one for dinner. Moved to an area near the marina at 10am I started tossin huge white tube jigs and I finally hooked up. First fish had to be over 21inches but my tape was about a quarter mile down the shore So after a pic was snapped I tossed him back just to be safe. ( This cutt was my biggest to date.) Second fish 20 inches and fat. Third fish 18 1/2 inches but not as fat as the others. I also missed alot of hook sets on multiple fish. Ive had a curse at the berry the last couple of years getting skunked alot. With some help from my buddy chuck and some patients I had my best day yet from the shore. From here on out the fishing will just keep getting hotter. anyone notice the cutts at berry fall under two categories. This first being the skinnier silver ones that you seem to catch alot of then the second being the Big colorful fat aggressive native looking ones.
