Hi All- Managed to break away again this morning for a little Berry action. Myself and two others hit it at about 7:30 and fished until around 1. Fishing rocked, as we boated 75+ fish, most on white tube jigs, though the first 20 or so came on pointer minnows before 9 am. Water temp is still up at 41.8 on the main lake, and the bays just slightly cooler. I saw virtually no ice, even early before the sun came up. Mud Creek and the bay by the marina had a skim in the very end, but was gone when we left as the air temp was around 45. Fishing for the weekend looks very promising for those of you considering dusting off the already-winterized boat. When jigging, we found the magic number to be 16 feet deep, in to about 12 feet. Pointers worked over and around the weeds, and the weeds are really subsiding, making fishing them easier. I will be at Fish Lake chasing Mac on Friday, so have fun at the Berry, I'll be envious.
I attached a couple pics, we caught 10 or so over the slot, the bigger of the two pictured here is 25 inches, the smaller 23.5. Hopefully my posts aren't getting annoying, I'm not trying to rub it in or brag, merely stoked about how good it has become, to encourage all to hit the Berry while the fishing is great, and hopefully help everyone catch more big fish with the admittedly little knowledge I've gained.
