Very nice pics. Thanks for sharing and you must brag because Strawberry is flat out amazing.
I too fished the berry today. However, I fished with a kick boat at East Portal and I thought for a minute I was in New York City. Imagine on a Tuesday, November 22nd, 15 kick boats within 200 yards. Yep, that's right, there were 15 float tubes and kick boats in the area this afternoon. I would have been mad that I had to keep looking behind me to avoid running others over, except the fishing was sooo fun. Yes, Mr. Prusuit, the fish were biting in the other side of the lake too and we caught a few over the slot, on 23 and one 25. Where in this country can you go and catch fish like that so often? Amazing!!!! Anyway, I have to find a more open place to launch next time. Too crowded. All I can say is that today was a bonus day. It was so nice some guys had just a shirt on. It was gorgeous weather.
We caught fish on tube jigs, flies and grubs all afternoon. Yes, curly tailed grubs, white ones, with gold glitter. A guy at sportsman's said that the white tube jigs he likes with gold glitter was sold out but there were some grubs there with the same color. I am here to say that they worked as good or maybe better than the tubes. I had action all afternoon on them. The only problem is that the grubs do not last as long on the hook. The fish tear them up. But I would have to say that they may work even better than tubes. This may start a grub craze similar to the tube craze at Strawberry. Let me know if any of you have had luck with them.
