Orchard 5/31

[bassfan586]

Fished Orchard today from 6-11 am.  Water temp was 65.  First fish came on a grey rico popper.  12" smallie.  Caught a 36" pike on a Crank in 15' of water on the outside of the weedline.  That was fun and unexpected.  Picked up a 16" smallie on a tube in 6' hopping it in the rocks.  Caught another 12" smallie burning a lipless crank in 4'.  Last fish was a 13" largemouth that fell to the rico.  Fish are off the beds definate post spawn bite.  Saw a few largies guarding fry in the back coves.  Give it a few weeks and it should be better.  The largies I saw were a resepectable size.  Wind was whipping pretty good too.
