Thanks for the results. Here's how my day went.

Wow was it tough bite. I've fished Berry once in the past, over a year ago, so I had no idea what to do, other than knowing that it's a clear water deep canyon lake. I was really excited when seeing bait everywhere. I decided to try a popper early morning around points, followed by small finese worms in deeper water. I didn't get one hit on the popper despite seeing fish jumping and feeding around me. Then I decided to dropshot and immediately got bit but no committments. I continued to get small hits without committments for a bit longer. The sun had appeared by now so I moved deeper to about 25-40ft range from 5-15ft. Then I saw a hump about the length of my kayak that went from 30ft to 20ft and back to to 50ft. But I was getting blown around in my yak and just could not hold position. I circled that hump for 1/2 hr hoping to run into a school, only to catch a few undersized smallies. I paddled around the rest of the day looking for similar structures but wasn't finding them. Then I decided to fish sandy-rocky shoreline transitions on the deeper side. The 1/2 oz drop shot weight just wasn't falling fast enough due to getting blown around so I switched to a 1.5oz spoon. I thought what the heck. I jigged it up and down as it was falling on the rock piles in 20-30ft of water and got what I thought was a snag but turned out to be the one and only keeper of the day. By that time, it was almost time so I back tracked towards the ramp for for no takers. The end

James
