Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
Last October the cool weather was encroaching our area and we were working
areas of ever-increasing mats of hydrilla. The big bite at the beginning of the
month was a soft jerk bait bite in the SW area of the Farm. The spillway area
was producing well with shiners.
This year we are looking for the water to clean up after hurricane Jeanne
without the cool weather. With lots of water flow it won't take long. I am
expecting one of the best Octobers yet on the Marsh/Farm. As the water clears
the areas of water movement, (current), will be major sources of both quality
and quantity.
Other areas that should produce well will be the old irrigation ditches
adjacent edges on the Farm side, as the ditches will be carrying current and
particularly the intersections of those ditches. Both ends of the center ditch,
(Ditch 7), will be having good flow, and Carolina rigs thrown into the ditch and
brought up the inclines should produce. Of course the entrance cut into the
Marsh should have fish.
Some current scenes of the Marsh:
Dock at ramp area
Bathrooms sans the roof
Front Pavillion - note the water level has the tree line under water
Spillway barrel on the SW levee of the Farm
Typical of the west levee on the Farm - Lots of work for the St John's people to
repair, but still intact
See you out there. Say hi if you get the chance.
