Hit the berry this afternoon myself and had about the same results. Didn't get there until after two and only stayed until about 4:30 but with all the wind that was all my legs could take kicking like mad to stay out of the middle of the lake. Fished over at Chicken Creek East. Caught half a dozen fish but only when the wind was blowing the most would they bite. Tried everything I had but finally went back to a white tube jig with some worm fished on the bottom. Only thing they would take. Talked to some men in a small boat that said it had been slow all day and that fish were a little deeper then they have been lately. Thirty to thirty five feet seemed to be the magic depth of the day. Only marked one school of fish on the sonar all day. The small boats had to get off the lake when the wind started blowing but sure wanted to come back out when I started pulling in fish. The fish were all in the slot with the smallest at 19 and the largest just barely under the magic 22 inch length so back it went. Legs are dead but can't put a price on the sunset up there tonight. It was awsome.
