Cookie said I could go fishing yesterday just so long as I was back when she got up to start putting in the new flower beds. Well I may have missed that mark slightly, but ran over to Echo first thing in the morning Saturday and spent a couple hours slamming perch.
Location - Echo, east side - South Of Marian - off shore in the weeds and willows
Conditions - clear, cool and calm. (did not get temps for air or water)
Baits - small jig heads in yellow, white and purple with white eyes. 2" brown curly tail, 2" split worm body, and 2" chartreuse curly tail - all tipped with worm.
Method - minnows very concentrated in the weeds and willows. predators were just outside that rim where water got deeper. Toss jig over weeds into deep and retrieve towards willows - slam - fish on
Lost a fair bit of gear to retrieval through willows - but was worth it
Some nice size.
Really excited about the numbers of small fry in the weeds. Looks like a great recovery year for Echo
Short video shows location and methods.
