I agree with Kent, and he's about as good as they come when it comes to fishing Strawberry!
I will add one thing: Boat control is everything. Take two anchors if you have to. You will catch a lot more fish. It seems that when the breeze moves us around our single anchor, the fishing slows until we are stopped again. I like to throw out two anchors, one in the front and one in the back, tighten them up and then fish.
Of course, you must always be careful when anchored in the back, especially with a small boat. Make sure you are pointed INTO the waves and make it so that you can release the rear anchor quickly if needs be!...I've heard of boats sinking while anchored from the rear.

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
