Echo today, Mon. 1-27

Disappointment today at last Thurs. "Hot Spot"..at the South campground side entry point..Way more tracks all around this area, so maybe it was hit too hard over the weekend..one other guy came out after me, and he moved around also before setting up his tent..he was a bit further North, and had caught a carp when he came back to chat awhile..hope he found 'em..I moved around a few different spots also, just catching dinks...but even they were tight lipped today..I started at 1000, and finally back in tent at noon, a nice school of 9 to 10"ers came thru, and I iced 4 of those pretty fast..then slow, slow, slow again, and I scared up only 4 more quality perch before I pulled stakes at 2 PM.. 1 at 8.5", 7 at 9 to 10". I hope the lack of fish today was the result of higher activity over the weekend, and maybe they will be back in a few days..Guluk..

Sorry to hear the catching was so slow Joe but at least you got out and enjoyed a change of pace, if nothing else. Did you find any certain jig worked better than another?

To get any bite at all, I had to down-size to some of the smallest jigs I have .. ei. 6 and 8's to a 10...white worked best, esp. with a little 'Wonderbread' pattern..2 poles, 1 with eyeball and other with cut belly meat..usually works very good, but perch mostly scattered today..
