Stick Marsh/Farm 13

Date Fished: 3/17/03

Water Temperature: 79

Water Clarity: 1 foot

Four trips over the last three days have spoken loudly as to what the fish will bite relentlessly and that our choice of location was about as good as it can get.

We have averaged over 50 bass per trip with a few lunkers thrown in for good measure. Many of the fish have been in the 3-5 pound range and the sonar is getting worn out handling all the returns from the many fish in the area.

Weather has cooperated every day with our worst day being today. We had a mixture of clouds and sun today but it was a bit breezy. Also we had to pick up and get outta there as thunder rolled in the west just a bit before three.

We have found these fish in a couple of locations; Out in the middle of the Marsh and over in the NW. They have cooperated fully to the excellent appeal that the Senko presented as long as the Senko was dark in color. When the bite dropped off a bit a switch to a Bomber Long A turned some bass our way, and a spinner bait even got into the fray and tricked a few here and there. The Senko 7X Cut Tail worked about as advertised as we switched between them and the 5 inch Senko. I am really getting to like the Cut Tail.

We are still seeing the bite go on and off during the day and we have watched many a fisherman kick the big motor during the off periods and run around. Hint! Hint! guys. If you get on fish and the bite drops off it's going to be the same when you shut that big motor off and cast again. Don't leave fish to find fish. It is just not productive.

See you out there. Say hi if you get the chance.
