Nice slabs. I am happy to see more crappie coming out of Echo. I did well one morning from my float tube a couple of summers ago. They were all nice like the ones you scored. Come on quick winter and freeze that lake and Deer creek too.

You caught them from shore? Great job thanks for sharing, using plastic curry tails, any bait added?
Since you were just up their can you tell me what the boat ramp was like at echo? does the ramp still go into the water? did they charge to enter the state parks?
When I launched Saturday, there was a sign at the bottom of the ramp that said launch at your own risk. The pavement did extend into the water and many bigger boats than mine launched after I did. I didn’t have any issues.

Sunday my wife made plans with a friend and her husband to float the Weber. She also suggested that we take fishing gear along for after, hard to say no to that. The river was running high, so our float was accelerated. More time to fish!
We decided to run up to Echo and see if we could find those perch and bass like Jig-Fisher. Our first spot produced only bites and a few snags. We could see some folks further down the shore catching some fish, so we kept watch and they packed up a little before we were ready to leave. Headed down there with our Mr. Twisters and jig heads, first cast in the new spot my wife pulled in a slab of a crappie! Had never heard of them being in there, and hadn’t caught one from there before. My second cast produced a perch. She kept pulling in the crappie and I the perch. All of them were invited home for dinner, but the one crappie I caught declined after coming near the stringer.
Pretty quick action for a few minutes there and we left with 5 fish, plenty for a meal with my oldest child.
I’m going to look for your crappie this morning, at echo. Little late getting the GK ready.

Hope you were able to find some.
