[fishin] well...took the boat and a couple of buddies up to echo early this morning. got to the lake just after 6 am, to a nice 50 degree chill! water temp at launch was a nice 69 degrees. we went fishing for bass but ended up slaying the trout! we fished for probly 5 hrs for bass and landed 6, with 3 being dinks under 6 " but a couple nice ones as well! after we tried everything to pick up some decent sized bass we decided to try for the old rainbows! we headed out a little deeper, marking fish anywhere from 10' of water out to 50' of water and caught trout in all depths! all trout were caught on power bait! caught 10 in total. bass were caught on rapalas and plastics! what a wonderful fishing trip! now for the bad news......... i had a wonderful shimano rod and reel that ive had forever, well... we were drifting all three of us using powerbait, when i switched to another color of powerbait, threw it out and let it sink down, set the bail... turned to grab my drink..... looked back and my pole was gone... it happened so fast my buddy(that was right next to my pole, watching his) didnt even see it! so..... if anyone fishing echo catches a fish or sees a fish swimming(or not) lol, and theres a shimano, spinning rod attatched, id really like it back!... lol. anyways wonderful day of fishing! going back sunday, maybe ill get lucky and find my pole???[
