Fall at the Berry!

Moon Phase:
Fishing Time: 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Weather: Clear, Windy, Cold, Teens

JJ and I against our better judgement decided that we needed one last fall trip to the Berry before the hard deck came. We knew it would be cold but we were willing to live with the consequences if we came out successful! We loaded up JJ's old Mud Buddy fishin boat and headed off bright and early. The temperature in the truck read 9 degrees at one point and we knew we were in for a cold one! There was only one pic taken and the reason was that it was just to cold! Getting the camera out was not our number one priority! We caught a lot of fish drifting and dragging white tubes tipped with a worm in about 30 to 40 ft. of water. The only thing left to do now is to prey for more cold weather to cap this thing with ice! Gotta love ice fishin!

Funny Story!

Moon Phase:
Fishing Time: 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Weather: Cold, clear, breezy, 40's

I recently went on a fishing trip to Strawberry Reservoir and forgot to bring the camera! The problem was that I forgot the camera on purpose! I have quietly been brewing up the idea about purchasing a new fishing boat. My father in-law just happens to sale the exact fishing boat that I want. I finally decided that if I was going to get serious about buying a boat that I better take one for a test run. John said that would be fine so I hurried to call my cousin phil to tag along. He said heck yea, so we were on our way! As you might have guessed I fell absolutely in love with the boat and was asking when I got home, where do I sign! Unfortunately cold feet left me reeling in my dream of someday owning a boat. The reason I forgot to take the camera is because of the evidence of the strange craft that everyone would wonder about me being on. Long story short, Phil and I caught many cutts all within the slot! He doubled me in the fish count, but I blame it on the fact that I spent a lot of time gleaming at every option on the boat! He probably sees it differently though! The boat was unbelievable and I want it bad, but I just have to make sure that all my ducks are in line before making a purchase of that magnitude! Oh well, it will happen someday! Hopefully sooner than later though!!!
