I received a call the other day from Stan Daniels. He had a commitment to accompany his son and to help out coaching and had a call from Dr. Jeff Spratt who wanted to go fishing. Scott was free so the arrangements were made to meet at the ramp at 6:30 for a fun filled, fast action day on the Marsh. Part of the day was to be spent with some shiners and the rest using artificial. Off towards the spillway they headed, Scott, Jeff, and his buddy Fred Lewis. Anchoring up off the side of the current they proceeded with Carolina rigs and shiners. The shiners barely got wet before they were smashed and it took no time to go through two dozen. As has been the case over the last week and a half or so the bass that wanted to play were of pretty good quality. I think you can tell by the smile that this one made Dr. Jeff quite happy. The bite ended in the spillway area rather early today so off to the lake they went. This gal came off the center ditch in the vicinity of the intersection. Note the dead calm water. Not a breeze was stirring today and things were slowing rapidly as mid-day approached. Scott moved off to the SW end of the Marsh and then to Twin Palms picking up a few more fish but nothing of real note. By 1PM the heat had really settled in so the day was called. All in all they landed between 30 and 35 bass and I am sure that Stan will hear from them again. Baits of choice were Carolina rigs, rattletraps, and shiners today. The best artificial approach was the C-rig, and the shiners did best free-lined with no weight. See you out there. Say hi if you get the chance. Don't forget, you still have a short time to avail yourself of our summer special. Now through September 30, book day one at the normal rate and get the second day for $125.00.
