Arrived at the Berry at 6:30am. We had a great day. Between 2 friends and I we iced 73 cutts. Didn’t get a single bow all day. We ended up with 6 fish over the slot, with the biggest being 24 3/4".
Might be heading back up there on Monday.
Hey, Tyler, where did you go? How was the weather - it, and a big honey-do list, kept me from getting out.
I have been twice this year and have caught plenty of fish, but have not iced any above the slot yet. Whats your secret? Where? with what?
nice report. how deep were you fishing and what color.
did you use minnows
I fished between 30-40 feet. Used 3" tube jigs tipped with meal worms and minnows. 2 of the larger fish were caught on a 4" tube with the biggest red shiners I had.
The key to doing well at the Berry is GET AWAY FROM THE CROWDS. Walk an extra 10 minutes for more fish. When walking back we talked to quite a few groups that had been there for hours landing maybe 2 fish. We were fishing prolly 500-600 yards away from these people and caught 70 more fish.
Anyway, it was a great day. Anybody else heading up this week?
The weather was actually pretty good. When we got there it was snowing pretty hard, but by 7:30 the snow had slowed down considerably and the wind wasn’t blowing. When we got out of the car at 6:30am the temp was 30 degrees. Didn’t wear gloves all day!
thanks for the info. i agree getting away from the crowd does work better.
Thanks for the info. I am going out on the Berry tomorrow (Tuesday), I will try to get away from the crowds to see what happens. I’ll post a report, but I’m a little worried that the storm will disturb the fish.
