Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
Submitted by George, Imagination Bassin Guide Services
Date Fished: 1/4/03
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet
The water temperatures have been moving up and down pretty quickly over the last few days as has the air temperatures and wind.
However, 2003 started itself off with a bang, and after fishing 4 trips, the world is shy 36 dozen shiners.
I spent two days with a novice fisherman from Maryland, perhaps some of you have heard of Mr. Ken Penrod, and we had a ball. We tossed shiners, swapped tales, watched the wildlife, and pulled back when the bass were inclined to jerk our arms. Periodically a "Florida Brown Bass, AKA mudfish" would come for a visit and we even saw a few of those chain pickeral.
Both days were spent in the SW area of the Farm with only a brief visit to the spillway. Based on the way the shiners reacted, we weren't happy with the water in the spillway. The flow rate was good, but the shiners were telling us the oxygen content wasn't too good. During the 2 days we found fish that ranged from 1.5 pounds to 6.5 pounds.
I will be out there tomorrow working artificials so hopefully I will have more information that can help you that are so inclined to work the artificials.
See you on the water. Say hi if you get the chance. Scott will be putting up a report for the 4th trip either later today or tomorrow.
