[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Now you can tell me, Petty. I swear I won't tell anyone else. After looking at that picture, did you do "snow angels" after catching that fish? You look exhausted and there's snow all over you. C'mon, you can tell your good ole' friend, BLM. Did you learn that trick from Fish1on?[/size][/black][/font]

Nice fish Petty! I need to make it over that way some day. Ice fishing is fun but I can't get to the areas I usually fish from my boat.

It was a good day at the Berry. My boy and I started fishing in Strawberry bay on the south side. We caught a few fish about 1 an hour for each of us. I decided to go see haw P4L and TKB were doing. I spent the rest of the day fishing with them. Thanks for finding the hot spot P4L and TKB. The fishing was a bit faster about a fish ever 10 minutes. They were not biting very hard my boy had a hard time hooking them. In talking to other anglers those fishing in less than 30 feet of water weren’t catching fish those fishing in 30 to 50 feet of water had better success. Get away from hard hit areas and fishing in 30 to 40 feet of water.

As Petty said, it was a really nice day at the berry. It did take us a few moves to find some fishies that wanted to cooperate, but once we did, it was a lot of fun. Jason ended up with the long john silver of the day. It was also fun to have Paul join us later in the day. There were some entertaining moments with him and his son swinging and missing on fish! They looked like one of those whack-a-mole games! We talked to a couple of old boys that go out there a lot, and they weren't really catching many fish. They were pretty much fishing in 20-25 feet of water. We got checked as well. The fishcop was actually going fishing himself. I don't think they were doing very well, as they moved several times in a short period of time. They actually headed off into the narrows the last time we saw them. Another nice older man we spoke with walked out of the marina past the point on the north side, and said he caught 13 cutts.
The weather was beautiful, no wind, and lots of sun. Here is Jason's big dog.

And here is the 3.5 pound fatty that I put on the deck. He had one bugged out eye...kinda weird looking. I didn't get a picture of it though.

Looks like the weather was sweet. Won't find that kinda sunshine on a weekend[crazy]. At least thats how my luck would go.[blush] Not too crowded either. Did ya have to walk very far? I bet I lost 5lbs at scofield last weekend from having to walk so damn far.

Hey there boss man, did you notice those ATV tracks I was standing on? Didn't walk too far. If it gets much more snow, ATV's wont do much good. I need a snomobile!

Didn't see the atv tracks at first. I wish the access at scofield west was as good as what you had. The snow was really deep in spots and gettin around was tough. Walked our tails off getting to "the spot".. Finally got to use the atvs on sunday once the temps dropped. It turned a 45min walk into a 5 min. ride.. A snowmobile would have been the ticket! We oughta go ridin' sometime[cool].
