Stick Marsh & Farm 13

Date Fished: 9/29/04 Water Clarity: 0 Water is high: that's an understatement! What to expect: water flow everywhere. There is only one ramp clear as the dock is blocking the south ramp. It has broken and is laying in the water. Bathrooms are still standing but of course still roofless. Pavilions are still standing with no damage. Road: Relatively clear with a couple of trees partially blocking the road. You should have no problem getting in and I would expect the trees to be removed relatively soon. Motels in the area: Most are completely full with local residents as there was extreme damage in the Indian River county area. Fellsmere and Sebastian saw sustained winds of 123 MPH and Jeanne destroyed a tremendous amount of homes and trees. I have power by generator and am comfortable in my 5th wheel but most are not as fortunate. We sustained a small amount of damage in addition to what Frances had already done to us, but we have all temporary fixes done. Scott had some minor shingle damage and some structual that won't affect livability. Now all we need is electric and cable and were back on top. Obviously I have phone back so we can answer e-mails. You can of course call our cell phones, but with sketchy service you can also call my home phone: 772 388-2895. We have a trip tomorrow so will give a complete picture of the fishing after the trip. See you on the water.
