The girlfriend and I woke up 2am Sunday, left by 3am and at Echo by 5am. It was a cloudy morning with a 5-8 MPH wind, clouds broke from 8-1030 then regrouped and moved in at 1045. I had purchased a drift sock and it is the greatest thing. Having an aluminum boat I get pushed around quite easily. It slowed us down to a crawl and was able to work structre so much easier.
1st fish: Went to the right after leaving the marina to the islands on the East side, after seriously 2 casts Megan hooks up with an 8 0z striper, using a Rapala clown shad rap at about 545am.
2nd fish: Same spot I hook up with 12 oz. small mouth. Using a double willow white spinner bait burning it in at about 600am.
-We then went to the west shore side and fished around the grass with no such luck.
-We then went to Stewarts point and fished around and did not catch anything but weeds.
3rd fish: Went past Stewarts point by a bunch of black rocks on the west side of the lake and hooked up with a 1lbs 12oz large mouth. Caught this one around the back of a cove with grass, on a 3/18oz PB&J Eakins jig with Rage chunk trailer in green pumpkin at 1100am.
4th fish: Same everything, in the next 5 casts. Same pocket same bait same presentation, 2lbs even large mouth. Flip shake retrieve action. I watched them swim right to it and suck it up 1105 am.
-We met up with my boss who said he caught about 7 on a jointed shad rap in shad color.
5th fish: We moved back towards the rocky points between Echo and Stewarts Point. And first cast Megan made with the Jointed Shad Rap, fish on. about 100pm.
So in all 5 fish at 6 lbs. 4 oz., but 5lbs 12 oz. that could go to the scales.
