Water Temperature: 64
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet
Over the last few days fishing on the Marsh has been good to excellent. Lots of bass, and particularily big bass are being caught and the big ones are becoming a regular event. Mutiple baits are accounting for them, from live bait to plastics and even top water baits. Yes, I said top water baits. Don't leave the ramp without one at the ready.
We have had several trips and all have been a blast but the one today was one of the best as it included a youngster on board. Greg Carr, a Headboat Captain from New Jersey, from the Barnegat Light fleet and his not quite 5-year old son Kevin showed up ready and raring to go. With the rest of the family touring the Disney area attractions Greg wanted Kevin to experience some fresh water fishing as he is already had quite a bit of the salt water experience.
Kevin reeled over twenty bass to the boat today, (of course after we cast and set the hook), and had his picture taken numerous times holding bass that he could have almost hid behind. He is definitely going into my book as one trooper as he was ready to keep going even at quitting time. My camera wasn't working, but Greg's was, and as soon as I get them e-mailed to me they will be up on my sight.
As we worked around today we heard laughter coming from all sides as fishermen in the area caught bass after bass. Temperatures were warm, the wind was down, the water is warming and the bass are just waiting for the fisherman and his bait to come along.
If you have been waiting for things to pick up wait no more. It's only going to get better.
See you on the water. Say hi if you get the chance.
