Wiperslayer and I hit EC yesterday. Launching was no problem, other than needing to back way into the water because of the low water and there were no boat docks. The shore was frozen so getting into the boat at 8am was fine because of the solid ground but coming back in a 1pm was a little more of a problem because that solid ground was mud by that time and it was a muddy mess. The catching was awesome for bows up to17", all lures worked the first thing in the morning, trolling at 1.2 mph. Later in the day only the Epic lure was working(thanks Jason) but we managed over 35 with 5 or 6 double hook ups. Water temp was 40* and the bows were very hard fighting, well worth the trip. No other boats were on the lake but we did see a few shore fishermen.

Im planning on heading up their on thursday, hope I do as well as you did. Did you get any tigers by chance, I would love to get that one off my list!

No tigers were caught but in my experence, I catch more tigers while jigging than trolling. We also caught fish using lead core line, at 2 colors early and 4 colors later. Good luck if you make it up there.

I haven't caught one in a couple of years and I don't know if they are still stocking them there but every once in a while someone will report catching one there.
