For sure! They sprayed the lake pretty bad though. We had our bass nation championship last weekend and they killed a lot of the Lilly pads and grass in some of my spots. The water had chunks of mud floating around too. It wasn’t the best conditions but the guy who won caught a 10 pounder and there was another 9 and 8 caught on the same day. It’s been pumping out giants! Thanks for the comment!
@ Headwaters, it’s hard to argue with that. Orange Lake has been doing better though. If you go out there and throw a chatterbait and leave it in your hand, you will run into a few of them. That’s one of the best baits on that lake in my opinion.
My favorite color that they made was chartreuse with a blue back. That bait has won me some money. Unfortunately they stop making that color. It’s fun when they’re hitting the trap though! Thanks for the comment!
It’s a good color. 6th sense used to make one that was chartreuse with a blue back that was money. I’ve caught a lot of fish on that color. It’s fun when the trap bite is on. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks! I was fishing a little cove that had Lilly pads on one side and hydrilla Matts on the other. The bass were stacked in there. They’ve recently sprayed the lake though, it killed a lot of the hydrilla and pads I was fishing.
@ yeah that’s unfortunate. I hate when that happens. I do plan to fish there in the next few weeks. I’m watching as many orange lake videos as possible lol
Check out chris mitchell fishing. He has a good TH-cam channel and he just won our Bassnation championship out there a few weeks ago. There’s some giants in orange lake. I caught a 9.12lb bass and the following week I caught one just shy of 8 pounds. There were 2 10 pounders and an 8 pounder caught during our championship.
I have done well on both sides of the lake. The grass was pretty thick south of Marjorie Rawlings Boat ramp when I was prefishing. I do prefer the north end of the lake though.

as much pressure as orange lake has had this year, it crazy how good it is still fishing!

I just got skunked out there again
I never catch Bass in that lake and I live on it 😂 😂😂😂
The real fishing is at the Fellsmere grade

You spoke that fish into existence 😂

That’s an interesting color trap. The classic gold trap is money also

Nice vid. Are you fishing a flat?

Nice. I will check that out. Thank you
You’re welcome. Good luck on your trip out there. Hopefully you can run onto one of those orange lake giants!
Do you prefer the north end of the lake
