Hit the Berry early Monday morning. It was super foggy. We decided to head out about 75 yards from the marina in a 14ft rental. The fog lifted a bit, so we started heading out further, when the fog came right back. We could not see more than 10 feet for about an hour. We thought we were heading back toward the marina, but when the fog finally did lift, we were headed right towards I-40. Anyway, fished with a couple different types of jigs tipped with minnow and some smelly jelly. Did the best with pure white jigs. I have a couple, not sure what they are called that I got from HFT before he closed and I love them. They look like a mix between an octopus and a crawfish. Ended up boating about15 with two over the slot, all returned for another day. Saw a guide taking out some guys and he was using lime twist power bait and minnows. Watched them catch several right off the dock while waitng for the fog to lift. The guide was from the Marina, and he had no problem using powerbait. We did best when we were drifting with just a little wind. When the wind died completely, fishing died as well. Great day. I will post some pics later.
