Stick Marsh & Farm 13

The weatherman said 5-10 MPH for the wind, which was music to my ears. The water was in in second day of clearing up and the anticipation of top water was strong as Matthew Lee from Stockton, California and I headed south at first light. We started in the open water areas of Pin Ball Alley and had our first fish on about the third cast. She went for the popping slurp of the venerable Chug Bug. As we worked our way eastward no more would rise to the bug so there were a few casts with Senkos. However, as we approached the heavier wooded areas the bite broke loose. By 9:30 we already had over 25 when Matt landed the beauty below. They bit the bug or similar chuggers throughout the day. If there was any unfortunate part to the day it was the three hawgs that came unbuttoned before being lifted into the boat. There were plenty of 4-5-6 pound fish to keep us from fretting over the missed ones. As we bumped our way out of the stumps at days end we left as very happy fishermen with 71 bass to the boat. Matt won't soon forget his memorable trip of all day top water and all good sized solid bass. I have had plenty of people out that told me to let them know when the top water was really strong. Well, here's your notice: Give us a call!
