Stick Marsh & Farm 13

Mike Moore and his son Dan came for the last part of their trip on Sunday - A 1/2 day of fishing ahead of them and five dozen shiners gave them hope for that elusive 10+ pound bass. Dan spent the better part of the morning throwing artificial mixed with the occasional job of bringing in a bass that fell for a shiner. As you can see, the weather was great and the fish were cooperating. Mike stayed with the shiners throughout the morning and accounted for most of the 5-dozen or so takedowns. The big gal just never came their way, but a day and a half of fishing on this great fishery has Mike coming back in on the tail end of the spring spawn for some more action. I spent the morning checking locations around the lake: Areas off the C-54 - marked some fish, (not a lot), but with no bites. Areas in the NW of the Stick Marsh - didn't see much here and no fish. Pump house - minimal flow and no fish. South end of the Farm - As I got deeper into the south end I started marking fish; it is definitely a place to go back to and work over. Presently with daily forecasts of winds approaching the upper teens with occasional gusts to over 20 we would have to recommend shiners. However, if you are going to go with artificial then I would recommend either the outside edges of the wood across the south end of the Farm, or go deep in towards the levee. See you out there.
