Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
Submitted by George: 10/21/04
Wednesday Scott had out Gary Weiss from Denver, Colorado and his friend for a
1/2 day AM trip. Avoiding the spillway area because of a late start they headed
out into Farm 13. Between rattle traps and Senkos they managed to land over 30
bass for their efforts. Chrome/blue rattletraps and dark Senkos were the winning
baits.
Today Scott had out regular Bo White from Gracey, Kentucky and a couple of
his workers. Starting in the spillway areas with shiners didn't do the trick so
they moved off to the pump house and then the south end of the Farm. After some
mediocre results they moved back to the spillway and it was as if someone threw
the switch. Shiners, Carolina rigged Senkos, and rattletraps produced well. By
days end they had bid a fond adieu and thank you to 10-dozen shiners.
I had a 1/2 day morning trip with Travis Morgan and Jason Carpenter from
Hurricane, West Virginia. We also started in the spillway and although we did
find some action it didn't whet our appetite so we headed out rather early for
the southern reaches of the Farm.
10 AM came and we were out of 4-dozen shiners so for the last hour we bombarded
them with rattletraps. Although we caught them with the traps it wasn't the hot
furious bite that we had just two days ago. However it was more than enough to
keep everyone happy. Average size was down a bit but bigger they said than
average at home.
Upon returning to the ramp I talked with St John's personnel and they said
that the dock would be repaired in two weeks. At this point they have removed
the part laying in the water so both ramps are now clear of debris. See you on
the water. Say hi if you get the chance.
Days open in October: 23rd, 24th, 28th, and 31st. Give us a call. It's not
too late.
