Stick Marsh/Farm 13

[George Welcome]

It seems as if we are stuck at that just short of ten pounds mark. Chris Corum decided to opt for some warm weather fishing without wind. It seems that his luck with the wind is such that most of his cooler weather trips here have also been met with the challenge of fighting hefty winds.



The day started out fantastic with this 8-pound gal taking the presentation early on. She was joined with 5 other players rather quickly, but as quickly as things began, things came to a halt.

To say it was a warm day would be an understatement of grandiose proportions, as the sun rose into an almost cloudless sky, and the wind conditions were non-existent. However, this in no way deterred Chris who is a true and inveterate fisherman. Multiple baits were tried, and many locations, but only one more bass was added to the count for the balance of the day.

The fish caught were all fat and healthy which indicates that they are feeding well. However it seems all the feeding activity is taking place at some level below the surface. We marked large schools of shad in several place, but the bass that we also marked in the same areas just wouldn't play.

See you out there.

That heat affects us all George - even those big ol'bass.  You got one beautiful looking one though in the pic - been a while since I caught one that big.  Thanks for posting!!
