Stick Marsh & Farm 13

The final day for Robert Magee and Clive was a winner - Their words, "These were the two best days they have ever had fishing, including trips to Mexico".   Crystal clear skies were the order for the day, and bass catching was scheduled for all. The Stick Marsh is famous for these kinds of days and if the conditions are right, which many times they are, you can have just such a day. We started out in the spillway on the Farm this AM and by 9:30, only two hours into the day, we went over the 100 fish count. Bass were caught on almost every cast with Carolina rigs in the current. Rattletraps accounted for a few up inside, but the staple was definitely C-rigs. There were plenty of boats working the current, with us on the point, Scott and Don anchored off the point and part way to the post. Steve P. filled the position at the post and there were two boats on the west side. One boat hovered near the sign and a couple of others worked outside on the tail of the current. Everyone was hauling in the fish, and laughter was heard everywhere. About 12 noon the gate got lowered a foot and people starting heading out. We headed out to the area we fished yesterday and proceeded to repeat yesterday's catch with rattletraps. On sight were Don and Scott, Jim Porter and his wife, Bruce Woodward's brother and his friend and us. Every boat was busy hauling in bass that were more than glad to play. I have no clue where the numbers ended up, but I do know that you could hear the grunts as muscles strained to keep up with the cranking and the hauling. Repetitive casts and caught bass were causing the arms and wrists to wear out but no one was quitting. Right now it's find the clean water or current and you will find bass. Rattletraps seemed best out of the spillway area just as they did the day before. See you on the water! We have a few days open in October and November. December is filling quickly so give a call to ensure the days you want.
