Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
Jerry Wyles, friends, and employees came out for a day on the Marsh on the
7th. With two of them on my boat and two on with Scott we headed out to the
Marsh looking for some of that Stick Marsh magic.
Prior to booking the trip Jerry did what any intelligent person does if they
want to book with a guide. He got on the internet and phone and checked us out.
If you don't find out who you are going fishing with prior to booking the trip
and you have a trip that is a bust then the only one you can blame is yourself.
Not all fishing trips with the best fisherman in the world is going to get you
fish and inversely anyone can have a banner day by stumbling over the fish, but
to up your odds of success, do your homework.
The morning started out for Jerry and his friends with the bass cooperating
fully. The areas that we have been fishing produced as expected and the
technique worked perfectly. Senkos jerked across hydrilla and dropping off the
edge produced numbers and quality.
Jerry landed the first big bass of the day but that wouldn't be his last.
Mike followed up on Scott's boat with the next closely followed by Jeff with
this fat lady.
As the wind came up we moved to the Farm side and continued with the same
technique and pattern. There was one exception to the pattern in the form of a
lay down stump that I have had two big bass off of over the last two weeks.
Informing Jerry and Eual where to toss their baits we waited with bated breath
as both worms landed on either side of the stump. The winner this time would be
Jerry as the bite came within the first five seconds after the cast.
This lady gave Jerry quite the run for his money but with the steady
nerves of a Pro Jerry worked her to the side of the boat. Over on Scott's boat
Mike would land one more chunk for the day.
For both Jeff and Mike this was their first time bass fishing and they both
did an outstanding job of keeping on the fish that they hooked. Eual never did
land a big one but what he didn't have in big gals he made up for in numbers.
The pattern we are fishing requires that the wind not be blowing much at all.
If the wind comes up the areas of grass that we are working disappear and can't
be seen even when you are sitting on them. The adjustment for the wind is to
move to the Farm and work the more apparent grass beds.
As the heat rose and the bite dropped off the crew opted for quitting time of
1:45 but all agreed the Marsh/Farm just can't be beat. Thanks guys for a
fantastic day.
Yesterday we hit some new areas on the Marsh and found more areas of grass
and more fish. We quit at 10:30 with over 30 bass. One thing to bear in mind
when fishing this time of the year. The fishing will be fantastic and your
attention from the heat and sun will be diverted, but don't forget the liquid
and the sun protection.
See you on the water. Check my page for a special summer deal. It's right on
the index page. Give us a call and get in on some of the best fishing for the
entire year.
