[quote Leaky33] I really, really miss my smallie fishing. It's my all time favorite. I'm older then lava now so I need all the help I can get. [frown] I don't have a 50K bass boat, or any boat, and still rely on tubing so another sympathy card. [laugh]
Anyway, 5 or more years ago I used to go to the Pine or to the Big Jord. and catch all the nice smallies I wanted, but in the last several years, I've had a real tough time. I still can't get it out of my mind that the Tigers have greatly reduced the population at the Pine. and I quit going to Jordenelle since I can't take Sparky. What's the deal? Do I go to Jordenelle w/o Sparky (that's hard on both of us) or am I just not fishing the right areas at the Pine where I used to find all I needed?
I haven't gone this year, yet. Been fishing for slimmers with good success and LM with not as good success. Any advice for this old guy what my first move should be?[

Have you ever tried Echo?
Doesn't get a lot of the attention that other smallie lakes do, but there are plenty of nice bass in there.
