Fished orchard this morn from 11-2. Made it off just before the storms hit.  Caught 8 between 2 of us.  Mix of smallies and largemouth.  Almost all caught in 8-10 fow just on the break.  A couple were caught shallow on the rocky flats.  Water was very clear and temp ranged from 56-59 degrees.  Bait of the day was sunfish pattern lipless crank.  Tried other baits and colors but that one produced.

Went out again today.  Wind was calm.  Caught 3 smallies.  one on a drop shotted senko, one on a sunfish red eye shad and one on a watermelon nest raider.  All fish caught 8-10 fow again.  Saw a lot of crusing fish just on the break.  Lots of carp busting the surface.
