Myself and Dagnabit hit Strawberry this morning at 6 am to fish cuts. We cruised around awhile sidefinding on the 997SI at 200 feet per side until we located a sizable school out from the Ladders. The 997SI saved a bunch of time today as the school we found was like 175 feet off to the side, we did not see it on the down looking sonar. We marked the school off to side, looped around and stayed within 100 yards of the mark until 11 am when we left having boated 51 fat cuts. We used white 4.5 inch tubes with 1/2 oz heads. Bite was light (as usual this time of year) but hard enough to detect. No wind, no clouds, great day. Water temp is a surprising 66 degrees. Fish were holding right on 42 feet, biggest was 26" and nearly all over 21". These fish are super healthy, fall will be great, though 51 today wasn't bad.
