First trip to the Berry this year and it wasn't disappointing, unlike my previously ice fishing trips this year, minus R-port . I fished from 8 am till 4 pm today. I landed around twenty cutts and missed and/or long released about that many as well. All slot cutts with the smallest being 17" and the largest just under 22". I fished between 24' - 31' with the best success occurring in 30' of water. I used the same setup the entire day: 1/8oz chartuese jig with white paddlebug sweetened with a waxie and a drop of smelly jelly. The weather was nice until about 4 pm and suddenly the wind picked up. I just wish I didn't waste the last couple of weekends at Causey - shame on me!
