Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
One of the things that draws us back to fishing time and again is the
tranquility and beauty of the new day dawning. As the sun rises to light up the
new day and reveal the many wonders of nature one can't help but be in awe of
the blessings bestowed upon us.
Such a day was Friday as we headed out to further our knowledge in our search
for that lunker bass. Equipment on deck included our ever present and biggest
producing bait, the Senko. In addition a spinner bait was rigged as it has
produced some nice fish over the last week or two. Last but not least was the
venerable buzz bait and as luck would have it the bass opted for this enticing
noisemaker to swing at first.
If you get the chance to fish where big fish grow and hit the right spot with
your presentation the prize is that bass that exceeds that elusive 10-pound or
bigger mark and today we did that three times. Scott's 11+ gal hit a precisely
place Yamamoto cut tail. The fight was explosive and in the heavy weed, but the
Power Pro line and the Gammy hook did their jobs.
Again, the right bait, the right presentation with a weightless Senko.
It's amazing how quickly the day goes by when you are out on the water. By the
time we got our 3 bass over 10 pounds it was nearing time to head back. However
we did have one other spot to check so after catching, weighing and
photographing this pretty lady off we went.
I couldn't have been happier with the results as we took this picture of our
last fish for the day. In between the putting together of this little photo
journal we caught numerous bass from 3-5 pounds. We had one fish that wouldn't
have been of legal size throughout the day and caught over 50.
Again:
Baits: Yamamoto Senkos and buzz baits. Fish were very tight to cover but
would charge the bait if you hit the cover. Water temperatures in the low 60's
and clarity of about 1-1.5 feet. Air temperatures were in the upper 70's to the
low 80's and the wind was only a light breeze.
Give us a call; Book a trip and sample some of Florida's fine fishing and
fantastic weather.
