Stick Marsh & Farm 13

Date Fished: 7/11/04 Area Fished: Stick Marsh Pattern: Areas of sparse hydrilla Technique: Senkos jerked through the grass and dropped at edge Weather: Cloudy and warm, calm winds Water temps: 88 Heath Temple and Ole Jensen joined me today for a 1/2 day AM trip. The guys drove down from Valdosta, GA. for a bit of fishing and catching and they did a bit of both. The fish cooperated early on and then the bit dropped off for the last hour. We had a mix of both quantity and quality with Heath hitting the two biggest of the day. The first of the day. The two fish were just about twins. It's nice to be young. The guys were driving back to Valdosta this afternoon. Total fish to the boat: 38. This pattern we are working works best with plenty of sun, but we really only had about 20 minutes of sunlight today. Also the early morning breeze hit a lot of the grass from us, but for a 1/2 day trip we did pretty good. Grass and Senkos = bass. Another key to the morning that we had was not leaving as the bite slowed down. Staying with the bass put several more in the bite during the slow period. Heath's last cast netted him one more for the count and came out of a grass patch that we had already hit several times. See you on the water. Check out my homepage for the summer sale and get in on the action. You will get a good deal from both us and bass.
