Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
The last two days of the month have thrown a weather curveball at us. Both days started out with dense fog but they ended with very different conditions.
Saturday we headed out for a bit of scouting but our trips that were scheduled for the 30th and 31st called and asked to be rescheduled because of the poor weather forecasted. Our scouting trip was cut short but we had 23 bass before we went back to the ramp, including a 7 pound gal that fell for a Senko.
Meeting our clients, Dave Eller of Deerfield Beach and his friend Tom Helbing of Indianapolis at 2:00, Scott headed out to the middle of the Marsh where the morning success had come. There was very little breeze and the temps were up but with the front headed our way anticipations ran high for a great bite. Someone forgot to tell the bass however that this was the way they were supposed to play and the afternoon turned into one tough situation. However, being experienced fishermen, Dave and Tom hung in until 6:30 with very little profit to show for their efforts.
Yesterday I met Dave and Tom for the second half of their trip. It was pea soup again this morning as we headed out to the Marsh, with no wind blowing. It takes 5 minutes to idle out to the area we wanted to fish and by the time we hit Twin Palms the wind was already up to 15 MPH. Within a 1/2 hour the wind was chugging over 20. The first couple of casts yielded bass however, so anticipation of a really good morning was high.
Again this morning, as with yesterday afternoon someone forgot to tell the bass about the impending frontal passage. We fished until 11:00 with Dave and Tom finding 5 bass that wanted to participate. All came on Senkos that were T-rigged. Three came from Twin Palms and two from the NW area of the Marsh. We marked a lot of bass but they just refused our offerings.
Scott and I will be away for the christening of my Grand-daughter Madyson up in Lenoir, NC through the 5th. However we will be monitoring e-mails and cell phones so don't hesitate to contact us. We still have some openings for April!
See you on the water.
