Ah - soft water at the Berry at last. Two friends and I hit the water Wed. about 6:45 and fished the southern end until around 11:30 or so. We got a hold of 21 cuts or so, most below the slot, though we did get at least one above 22". Caught my first fish this year at Strawberry - 30 seconds into the day. Fishing was fairly fast early on with pointers, we switched to white Berkeley jigs around 9 and caught about 12-13 jigging. The water temp is a balmy 39.3 degrees and extremely murky from run-off. I suspect the fishing will pick up quite a bit as soon as the water clears up a little. I love fishing up there, so I’ll go again a couple times next week even though the water is dirty, but I’d say the top notch spring fishing is still at least a couple weeks out. GOTTA LOVE THE BERRY.
Thanks for the update on the berry. I have plans to fish it for 3 days over memorial day weekend, can’t wait to get up there.
Looking forward to some more of those awsome pics of them monster cutts of yours.
Thanks for the report. I’m with MGB, and can’t wait to check out some of your pictures this year. You sure know how to catch the big slimer fish.
I was wondering when the poor cutts at the berry would rue the day the fish chaser returned! Thanks for the report.
Thanks for the report! Good to hear Strawberry is as good as ever.
