    Orange Lake

    Went to Orange Lake today. Got there about 7:00 am, lots of FOG! This was my first time there. When I got there, was about maybe 6 boats. When I left at 11:30 there must have been close to 100! Too many people for me.

    Please tell me you threw a topwater in that fog!! Usually fog on Orange = topwater bite...

    Only been there once, we launched at Lochloosa though. Odd little ramp, the traffic flow is not set up well. But yes, same as you lot was cram full when we came out. People need to work more :).

    Thats what my buddy said, too many boats
    He looped around and went elsewhere. He said every other truck was from out of town. Ky, NJ, Ga, Mass ect... Just stay the .... Away.Had more fun as a kid on orange when the internet didnt ruin shit. Parents bought me a honda accord and I put surf racks on it. Used them to carry a canoe around here. Id catch the dog shit out of them. I was 16 and on orange sun up to sun down and saw VERY FEW boats all day. Fished next to gators as big as my canoe. Too many people now wanting to look like a hero posting on facebook just to get a thumbs ☝. Trophy catch is a prime example of look at me. I wouldnt post a guppy with them.
