I fished Orange yesterday as well. That morning fog was like pea soup until about 11am. My GPS conked out on me about half way across the lake so I had to sit there until the fog lifted to figure out where I was. Gonna put me an old fashion Boy Scout compass in the boat for future use when the electronics go south. I fished the tussocks on the west end of the lake and didn't do that great. I used minnows, grass shrimp and bare jigs to catch a mixed bag of crappie, shell crackers, brim and bass enough to grease the skillet but I didn't get into them like a lotta folks did. I did hang into enough mud fish and gar to last me a while. One gentleman who was really successful told me he and his fishing buddy were dipping bare jigs with flat tails in the hydrilla around the entrance to Cross Creek. He said they were fishing between 2-4'. He said they culled a nice mess to 49. Go figure.

I drove down from Jacksonville and the early morning traffic was rough, especially from the construction at I-10 and 301 in Baldwin all the way to turn off to Gainesville in Waldo. It thinned out after that.

And I was told the Game Warden was there about noon on Wednesday checking bag limits.
