Hit Echo this morning and had decent, steady action until quitting when the wind kicked up about noon. Most of the good marks were between 30-50 feet so I split the difference at 40 feet. Pink and white seemed to be the color of choice. All the fish on the downrigger were nice, fat 18-20 inch bows except for one very nice 23 incher. Some of the bows had sores -- not sure what that is about...
I also flat lined a white jig but had a heck of a time keeping the planters off and almost gave up on it. However, the bigger fish seemed to move up as the morning went on and I ended up with a couple of nice bows up top. I didn't note the water temp, but the water level is really up compared to the last time I was there 3 weeks ago. It isn't full, but another couple weeks of rain and it might be.
