Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
Yesterday I had the opportunity to take the day off and clean the Hewes.
However, today we headed for the Marsh before the sun was up. Going straight to
where we have been fishing for the last week proved to be the right choice. The
bite didn't start until almost 7:00, but once it got going it was really hot.
Again, the bait of choice was Senkos and any dark color would do the trick.
For those that are curious we have tried just about every other plastic out
there and yes they did catch fish. However, they did not catch the quantity that
the Senko did. As a matter of fact the time between hits with some of the other
plastics was substantial. If you want to catch the bass that we are catching
then you would be well advised to have Senkos on board.
Today's trip was a short one and we quit by 12:00. We boated over 70 bass,
and as you can see from the pictures, as predicted the summer bite is not only
great for numbers, but size is there also. I did get a couple on a follow up of
a shad bust with spinner bait, but it was a small bust and short lived.
Keys to the fish that we are getting: Small areas of hydrilla and jerking the
Senko across the grass and letting it fall when it comes off. Most hits are
occurring almost immediately, however some are coming from the bottom so let it
fall. The Farm seems to have more than the Marsh in cooperating fish.
Occasionally the buzz bait has worked, but Chug Bugs have not. It seems that the
stimulation of the grass with the bait is what is bringing the strike, which
would explain the lack of interest in the Chug Bug.
See you on the water.
