Stick Marsh/Farm 13
Dates Fished: 7/12 & 13/04
Area on 12th: Stick Marsh Area on 13th: Farm 13 Weather: Early calm, heavy fog, light breeze: 12th Breezy with clear skies: 13th Water temps: 89 Baits used: Senkos, buzz baits, flukes I went out yesterday for a 1/2 day trip with Kurt Douglas from Rangely, CO and his son in law Jim from Orlando. The weather was perfect for the pattern that we have been fishing. The wind was calm which allows us to spot the emerging hydrilla so expectations were high. We barely started fishing when a fog bank rolled in and obliterated the Marsh. However since we were already on location we were able to move from patch to patch. With the fog enshrouded waters the bite wasn't there as it had been but we were still able to manage some fish. 8.25 pounds of cheer bought the Senko and came aboard for a picture. (to see pictures: http://www.imaginationbassin.com/July2004Photos.htm After the fog lifted the breeze came up and the last hour of fishing was a tad slow. We caught some good fish amongst the 20 or so that we boated but it was considerably slower than it had been. Today when we hit the water the wind was blowing 10-15 out of the SW which took the Stick Marsh bite into the no-chance category. We decided to head south and check out some other areas on the Farm so we went to the SW below the center E/W ditch. There is a defined bank of hydrilla down there and history has found some pretty good fish there when it forms the way it is. Tossing our baits back into the mat and working them out soon brought us hits. The hit is exciting as they smash their way up through the grass but getting them out is the real battle. As they barrel their way back into the dense hydrilla they will many times slip the hook. Buzz baits and Senkos drew the strikes. It didn't take long before we had several boats in the area and hopefully they were having success also. We then moved to the area between the center N/S and the east N/S ditches, just north of the E/W ditch. Working the patches of hydrilla produced sporadically. We called it by 9:30. Tomorrow we will be back out and hopefully not fighting the stiff breezes. See you on the water. Say hi if you get the chance.
