[quote MrShane]Have you tried targeting those Echo eyes?[/quote]
[#0000FF]I haven't fished Echo much under the "new regime". So I haven't had a chance to develop any kind of feel for where the walleyes hang or how they operate. But I did get an interesting bit of intel from an Echo regular who I trust. He claimed that during the post spawn period in late May there were some bank tanglers fishing not far from where you and I met up for perch. They were pitching plastics and soaking crawlers and catching numbers of walleyes in the 20 inch range.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]From another reliable source I heard of a 12 pound beast that was taken at night in early fall...on a big crankbait fished close to shore.[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]
[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]No denying they are in there...and in increasing numbers. But so far they have not been willing to play nice for most anglers. Not yet worth a week of planning for a half-day trip.[/#0000FF]
