I went to Strawberry on the 16th and launched at the main marina at 7:30 am. We fished in Strawberry Bay using lead core with dodgers and nightcrawlers. We we down 6 to 61/2 colors. We found fish trolling north and south from Haws Point. I had my neighbor and his 10 & 12 year old boys with me and they hadn't ever trolled before. We caught 17 Cutts and one chub that became seagull bait. I was really surprised at the size of the Cutts. We landed 3 under 17" and the rest were 17" to 21". A couple of them we really fat in the 3 to 4 lb range. I haven't seen that many large fish in a trip to the Berry in a long time.
It was a great day. Sunny but not too hot, light breeze in the late morning and the usual Strawberry wind in the early afternoon. We were fishing three poles and the boys were taking turns landing and netting the fish. They thought they had died and gone to heaven. They were taking picture and video when they landed one and then texted them home to Mom. My three guests had a great time and I have a ball watching them and keeping the lines straight.
