Myself and a friend hammered the Berry this morning starting at 7:30 and left around 11:30. It was a fairly average day fish wise - we boated 57 between us, with the largest being a 25"er. Pointers worked well very early, though we switched to 4" white tubes with smelly jelly about 8:30. Most jigged fish were caught in around 18 feet of water. They were schooled up at one spot which was near an older GPS honey hole of ours. We marked the new school and pounded them for a couple hours with probably 35 or so of our total coming within 75 feet of the GPS mark. Water temp was at 44.3 and the water is now very clear. Often when we pulled up a fish it had a friend or two coming along with it seemingly trying to steal the jig from it's mouth. We had two anchored bait fishing boats nearby, we saw neither catch a fish and talked to three trollers on the ramp who had landed a total of four fish. Jigging seems to be the ticket right now. Should be a great weekend up there.
