Hit up Echo for the first time this summer with with Alex. We fished around for a while, didn't really hit it too hard. I caught one little smallmouth on the drop shot worm. Other than that, pretty slow. I missed a bite on the drop shot and Alex missed a bass's half-hearted attempt at hitting his zara puppy. TONS of carp swimming around the back coves. On the way in, we came across a big school of shad about 50 yards from the launch ramp, and they were being chased fiercely by some predator. Nothing big was jumping, just the shad, so im not sure if it was a pack of stripers, or a school of bass. Pretty cool to paddle over when they are only in 2 feet of water. Nice day out there.
