Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationJust a brutal evening on Orchard. Fished a tournament and caught mostly rock bass. There were a lot of recreational boaters to contend with. Most of the field didn’t do too hot so I can’t feel too bad. I did lose a 17-18 inch smallie on a swim bait. I’m fishing from a kayak so I spent most of my time pedaling around trying to locate structure and avoid the pleasure crafts…. Not sure what to make of this body of water just yet but so far it’s tough.
