Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
The final day for Robert Magee and Clive was a winner - Their words, "These
were the two best days they have ever had fishing, including trips to Mexico".
Crystal clear skies were the order for the day, and bass catching was scheduled
for all.
The Stick Marsh is famous for these kinds of days and if the conditions are
right, which many times they are, you can have just such a day. We started out
in the spillway on the Farm this AM and by 9:30, only two hours into the day, we
went over the 100 fish count. Bass were caught on almost every cast with
Carolina rigs in the current. Rattletraps accounted for a few up inside, but the
staple was definitely C-rigs. There were plenty of boats working the current,
with us on the point, Scott and Don anchored off the point and part way to the
post. Steve P. filled the position at the post and there were two boats on the
west side. One boat hovered near the sign and a couple of others worked outside
on the tail of the current. Everyone was hauling in the fish, and laughter was
heard everywhere. About 12 noon the gate got lowered a foot and people starting
heading out.
We headed out to the area we fished yesterday and proceeded to repeat
yesterday's catch with rattletraps. On sight were Don and Scott, Jim Porter and
his wife, Bruce Woodward's brother and his friend and us. Every boat was busy
hauling in bass that were more than glad to play. I have no clue where the
numbers ended up, but I do know that you could hear the grunts as muscles
strained to keep up with the cranking and the hauling. Repetitive casts and
caught bass were causing the arms and wrists to wear out but no one was
quitting.
Right now it's find the clean water or current and you will find bass.
Rattletraps seemed best out of the spillway area just as they did the day
before.
See you on the water! We have a few days open in October and November.
December is filling quickly so give a call to ensure the days you want.
