For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Moshawquit Lake sits 1.2 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Berry Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
