Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today I spent the day with Bill Okeefe and his
grandson Ryan Edwards. Both Ryan and Bill have been out with me before, but
today would prove to be there best trip yet.
Ryan is only 9 years old, but he is an excellent
fisherman and his willingness to learn makes it an absolute pleasure to have
him on my boat. We started the day in the spillway loaded with 10 dozen
shiners. We were the second boat to the spillway so I beached the boat on the
point. Ryan did all the catching today and Bill and I watched the young man
have a blast fighting bass after bass.
We fished the shiners free lined and the
majority of the bass were caught between the shoreline and the fence, and off
the point. Ryan did an excellent job hooking the bass and bringing them to the
boat. Ryan ran through the shiners by 11:30am landing a total of 60 bass. We
figured taking into account the shiners that died Ryan probably had a shot at
96 fish today so catching 60 bass is an excellent job with shiners.
Ryan worked different artificial baits
throughout the day landing 7 bass for a total of 67 bass by 1:00pm. We had a
great time today and with young fisherman like Ryan out there the future off
bass fishing is in great hands.
