Decided to hit strawberry yesterday with a couple of friends.. We took the four wheelers and headed out from the marina at about 800... we moved about ten different times, drilling holes and using he sonar.. I marked maybe three fish all day.. after about three hours we finally caught one fish.. a nice 22.5 inch rainbow.. at about 1230 we decided to head to jordanelle... we went to the rock cliffs and started walking out about 230... we talked to several groups of anglers who said they were not doing well.. one guy had caught one perch and had two other bites all day.. we went out and right away we got into them.. we caught about about 20 perch and 10 trout.. the perch were almost all small.. mostly about 4 inches long.. the trout were about 10 to 12 inches long.. a couple of them were pretty fat..
It was tough getting skunked at strawberry.. I took a bunch of suggestions from guys like MGB and other this summer and I thought I had a good handle on the berry.. I could go up there in the summer on my toon and catch 30 or 40 fish in a day but obviously the hard water is totally different..
