Echo Lake Resi 6/2

[NorthJerzyG]

Decided last minute to Echo Lake for vacation day 2. Didn't hit the water till almost noon.

Spent the first hour trolling large spinnerbaits for musky, nada.

After that we started working the shoreline. After a few average smallies and a couple rock bass we came up to a submerged tree. One cast is all it took for my #3 mepps aglia to get hit like a freight train. And, just as quick as it hit, my line went limp and I realized I just missed a beast!! Unfortunately, once we came out of "musky mode", I removed my steel leader

After a few minutes of swearing I tied on a strike king spinnerbait (with steel leader). Few casts later I hooked into an angry smallie. Fish of the day, made feel a little better about missing the beast.......... A little.

He can swim but he can't hide!! I'll get em next time........

Here's the angry smallie, refused to be landed........
