If you had the opportunity to be here over the last week you had the opportunity to experience some pretty good fishing. The weatherman gave us a break, the moon came up and the fish got busy. If you made the right cast you found a big fish.
We were extremely busy and had a great time with all of our clients.
On the 13th Tim Carrigan and party went out with me to get a feel for the area. I've yet to talk to him to see how he did for the rest of the week. Charles Caley and party went out with Scott and we just heard back that they had a fantastic fishing trip with several big fish to the boat.
On the 14th Jack Sinnigen brought his Father-In-Law and son for a 1/2 day trip and we did some shiner dipping with excellent results. Scott took out Jeff Jacobs and Randy for the first of a three day venture and it was artificials all the way for them.
On the 15th Jeff Jacobs and Randy hit the water with Scott and Mark Laminack, his wife and son Cody headed out with me. It was artificial baits across the board with Senkos leading the way.
On the 16th Jeff Jacobs and Randy were out for their last day with Scott and Johnny Oatts were out for me.
Over the four days things remained constant with all fishing taking place on the Farm. The best bait by a large measure proved to be the Senko, but we also had some very interesting early morning fishing with a fair amount of fish slamming the chug bug. If you could get past the pickerel, the stick baits were working and the same held true for spinner baits.
The lake has been fishing small and there has been an amazing bit of cooperation amongst all the fishermen over the last few weeks. Expect the fishing area to change over the next week as this weekend was the big one and the fish will be moving out rather quickly. I think there is going to be a lot of big fish caught out along the ditches over the next few weeks, and I think you will find more and more fish moving to the Stick Marsh. There have been some nice fish caught up there and we have had some decent results in the the NW area of the Marsh. We also heard of some nice fish out at Twin Palms.
See you out there.
