Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
If you have to catch a bass when you go fishing then I see no sense in
messing around.
Neither did Monica Fondeur who came with her Husband, daughter, and son to spend
a couple of days fishing with us on the Marsh. Under the skillful guidance of
Stan Daniels, our assistant for the trips, Monica landed this big 10.2 pound
lady early-on of day one.
Anna Fondeur followed up on day two with a response to the big fish claim
with her own 7 pound lady caught on Ansin/Garcia.
A proud dad smiles as he poses with yet another of this young ladies catch.
Not t be left out young Enrique poses with one of his several fish with Mom
looking on.
Ron Buchwald and Dave Goyer arrived for their 7-day trip and were greeted by
heavy winds and muddy waters. Day one was on the Marsh and the south end of the
lake produced a fair number of fish but not the big one they were looking for.
On previous trips 10 pounders came Dave's way, but 9 pound 7 was Ron's to date.
With winds up and the south end turning to totally obscured between the stain
and the muddy conditions we spent the next four days on Garcia. Using artificial
bait each day we managed to get fish, but certainly not the catches that one
would expect here in the "sunny" south.
Day 6 and 7 were spent back on the Marsh as the winds died. Late in the day
we received notice that the inlet spillway was open and although not strong
there was a current flow. Day 7 was an early launch in order to ensure a
location in the spillway. Over 50 fish were caught in the spillway area with
this really good sized lady.
Ron was ready for her when she hit his C-rigged Senko. On the Boga Grip she
tipped 8.5 pounds.
Eighteen trips over the last fourteen days, with mixed conditions have seen
mixed results. Some really good, and some not so good depending on the wind.
Today's two boat 1/2 day trip saw a much slower bite in the spillway area. They
started early on but as the morning progressed the bite came to a halt. Five
pounds was the big fish for the day.
Even though the spillway is open lake levels are declining. We thought we had
seen the last of the wind but this morning she blew 10-20 and had the Farm side
kicking pretty good.
See you out there. Say hi if you get the chance.
