Stick Marsh-Farm 13 - Freshwater Fishing Report
This last week has been one of steady bites for the most part on both
artificial bait and on live bait. The bass are being found from the very north
end of the Marsh right on down through the south end of the Farm. Plastics such
as Senkos, spinner baits, buzz baits, and hard jerk baits have all been
producing with plastics leading the way for the most caught bass. The traffic
has picked up over the last two weeks and you can expect a full parking lot if
you get here much later than 7:30.
On the Marsh side there have been bass located off the C54 canal, out in the
NW palms, and in the area of twin palms. On the Farm side both the ditches and
the southern and southwestern areas are producing both bucks and females, with a
reported fish going at the 13-pound mark. Shiners are doing extremely well but
are difficult to come by at this moment.
Some of the fish caught over the last week.
John Marchi - 10-pounds from the C54 area - Senko
Scott - C54 area - spinner bait
Tom Morris - C54 area - shiner
John Harris - C54 area - shiner
Jamie Flegler - C54 area - senko
Keith Berland - Kenansville Lake - Senko
Mike Jones - Farm 13 - shiner
Weather conditions have still not stabilized but the cold has lessened with
most days in the 70's. March should be a banner month with lots of large bass
being caught. The spawn conditions will remain through the month and into April
and the top water action should intensify. I would expect as the shad get more
active that this will be the year of the top water bite. As the shad forage
along the surface the actions is going to be dynamic.
We finished out February with 48 trips with clients and spent three out of
the other four days searching. We still have openings in March so if you are of
the mind give us a call.
