Fished the Berry this morning with a buddy from 7-11, boated 26 in beautiful weather. Again, caught most of the fish in 8 feet or less, most on pointers, but a few on jigs. Couldn't find a good group to jig deeper so we took off. Water temp has cooled slightly probably due to the Memorial storm - currently 49.8. Talked to a couple people up there who indicated that the last couple of days have been a little slower (both had been skunked today). Noticed a huge difference in effectiveness between my retrieve and the guy I was fishing with, in terms of speed of retrieval. I was up 10-0 before we identified the disparity and he stepped it up. Pointers seem to do best with a fast retrieve, a little something to think about when using pointers or any other cast & retrieve lure.
