Wiperslayer and I got up to Echo today, we were on the water and fishing by 6:30 am. Wish I had brought a jacket, it was pretty chilly for the first hour or so. Headed for the inlet and we were making a ton of fish there, ended up picking up our first fish there,a chunky bow. We kept moving around trying fligs and bottom bouncing for a few hours, picking up a nice smallie that was over 15" and a few dink perch. Also saw a ton of carp slurping right on the surface, if you are a bow hunter this would be a perfect place to target practice on them. Decided to make another move around 10 am and finally found the big perch. We were vertical jigging by this time with some of TD's FT jigs, the big perch and SM bass were loving them, tipped with either a small piece of crawler or perch meat. Finally gave up around noon and headed in, with the jet ski crowd starting to make an appearance. As we were heading in we ran into a BFT member and friend Tin Can, hope you caught a few Forest.
