strawberry (S.C.) report sunday!!!
#2
Yesterday was my first trip of the year to the hard deck at the Berry. Was very surprised and glad to only see 6 rigs parked at Chicken Creek East - Low turn-out was probably because of the stormy weather forecast. We all fit on the snowmobile (touring machine) and towed the fish shack and storage sled like we know what were doing.

I'm at the point in my fishing career that I'm taking my 6 year old grandson & my wife. So after about 2 hours of helping everyone catch several nice fish and miss many many more, I finally got them somewhat self reliant - I sat down and went to fishing about 11:30. - I have seen too many times the fish just shut-off between 10:30 & 11:00 but today was different - they were biting till we left at 1:30 - I had two doubles and several other nice fish that were in the 21" to 22" range. All fish were released and the weather was warm and a few snow furries came through but nothing that was bitter cold that's for sure.

One thing that I wish people would is to Pick Up your garbage. You know who you are - Gatoraide Bottles, Butterfinger candy bar wrappers, and you were out of Chicken creek on Saturday on snowmachines.

I guess the good thing is I got to show my grandson is that we make the place better than we found it. We pickup the trash and hopefully a leason was started with my grandson.

All the bait I used was waxies on three different jigs - the trout always hit my favorite jig first - out fishing everything 4 to one - then when it slows I goto my second favorite and usually nail three or four pretty quickly. The believe it or not I then goto the larger glow-in-dark jig at noon and they ripped that rig up. I also caught four or five on the depth finder showing them at 15 feet. I just raised up and watch the fish follow and then set the hook. Lotsa fun.

Had a fun trip and look forward to a few more before the end of the hard deck.
