Numbers: 78 bass on Monday with two fishing and 27 yesterday with one fishing.
Areas fished: South end of Farm 13 from eastern N/S ditch to western N/S ditch - fish were found scattered with the highest concentrations between the center N/S ditch and the western N/S ditch. Monday we found the fish moved in closer to the shore in the Pinball area and were well out further west. Yesterday I found the fish to be well out and between the center N/S and western N/S ditches. When I say out, I mean well offshore, but not out of the wood yet. Quality has been good with largest fish for the two days at 7 pounds.
Top water bite has been there on both days in the AM although on Monday I did get a couple at mid-day. Chug Bug was the producer, not the buzz bait. Rattle trap has produced from early to quitting time. Senkos produced well on Monday but not as well yesterday.
Chug Bug produced with a mixed cadence. Rattle trap produced using a steady medium to fast retrieve. Senko produced weightless and slow retrieve as usual. Senko produced the biggest fish both days.
Outlook: Top water will get stronger and stronger. Look for the bass to be moving northward along the ditches. Keep the north end of the Farm in mind with emphasis on the swale line that runs across the north end of the Farm. Areas on the Marsh to watch would be the SW just off the divider ditch (ditch 7), the NW area and the western wall, Twin Palms, and of course that area that is just inside the cut into the Marsh.
