Stick Marsh & Farm 13

Consecutive days on the water cause memories to roll into a blur when you are having the good times and good catches that we are experiencing here on the lake that can only be called phenomenal. Whether using artificial bait or live bait, our least successful trip has yielded 27 bass and we have on most days gone over 80 for the two boats. Weather has continued to throw curve balls at us, but with some adjustment, in most cases the negative effects can be turned into positive results. On the 7th Tom McKenna and party went with me using artificial bait, while Scott had out Mike Ramer and Lenny Mazur for a 1/2 day of live bait fishing. No picture fish were caught but good solid 3-4 pound bass were on the menu and although a bit stubborn on the bite, they would come out and play if enticed properly. On the 8th and 9th I had out previous clients Chester Goble and his friend Allen and Scott had out George Cooper and party. It was two days of shiner fishing all around with the best day being the 8th for both boats. Best fish of the day was a toss-up between Allen and Chester so we got pictures of both.   The 10th and 11th brought Kent Crickard and party to the sunny south from upstate NY. The 10th was a beautiful day of sunshine and mild wind with the bass willing to play throughout the day. 6-dozen shiners disappeared from each boat as one after another was consumed by fat and hearty bass. The 11th dawned with mother nature throwing yet another of her cruel tricks at us. Temperatures in the mid to low 30's and winds to 25 MPH were the cause for a decision to be made to give Ansin/Garcia a try. At least there we would get some protection from the wind and be able to work towards putting some good fish in the boat. Mark would lead the group with the most fish and the nicest fish. Although windy and cold in the morning, clear skies and warm sun made the day quite pleasant by mid-day. It's 4 AM as I sit here writing this report and the temperature outside is 32. Hmmmmmm? I wonder if today will produce the over 10-pound bass for the guys today. You can bet that they will give it an honest try and who knows: perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. We still have some openings this month, not many but give us a call and perhaps you could be the next one hauling in quality bass in the sunny south.
