orchard lake 5-21-11

Went out to orchard lake today with a good friend of mine.  We fished from 6am-1 pm.  Water temp was 62-65 degrees.  Caught a number of sub legal bass.  Mixed bag of smallies and largies.  Lots of fish roaming the shallows.  Caught a few off beds around apple island.  A berkly gulp leech on a dropshot was the hot ticket along with the square bill crankbait in bluegill and pumpkinseed pattern.  Hardly any breeze or any people on the lake for that matter.  Biggest was a 20" largie that wacked a buzzbait in the slop.  I have to upload pic from my phone.  Also had a nice big ugly pike that decided to unhook himself at boat side.   Nice.

I went out Memorial day from 8:45 to 1 pm. Caught a 17.5" smallie, a couple of 13" lm, and a 27" pike. Sm on a wacky senko, lm's on a spinnerbait, and the pike on a dropshot (3" fluke).  I'll be back....
