Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
One of these days the weather is going to get perfect, the rain will be gone
and the wind will be a mild breeze. In the meantime be sure to have raingear
when venturing forth on Florida lakes and windsocks to control the boats drift.
Enrique Fondeur and his son Enrique Jr. are visiting from the Dominica
Republic and after hearing about the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 from friends just had
to wet a line. Although the giant didn't come on board for pictures, they did
get this most respectable gal as well as wet heads and windblown cheeks.
Today's trip found us working the grass edges and scattered hydrilla along the
south end of the center N/S ditch. Senkos worked weightless and down did the
trick. The bite was sporadic and best in the AM, but it came often enough to
keep everyone on their toes. We did try the SW areas today for a short while but
only found some smaller bass. These two areas seem to be the best for the moment
as they have for the last several weeks but things could change drastically if
we get some cooler dryer weather through.
The upcoming week is going to be breezy (15-20) so come prepared. You need
some device to control your drift speed, jackets for that early morning run, and
don't forget the sunscreen. Although temperatures are cooling down the sun can
still get you if you are not prepared.
We hope to see you out here soon. If you have any questions or are looking
for information about where you might get that big gal, send us an e-mail: we
will be glad to help. If you are fishing in the area say hi if you get the
chance.
So far Enrique is leading in this years contest for big fish. Right now he is
leading for the 1st place prize of $2500.00, and the biggest on a Senko which
wins a Yamamoto custom 7' bait casting rod. For more information on the contest
