Summer patterns continue to produce some excellent days at Stick Marsh Farm 13. These days the heat and afternoon thunderstorms will force most anglers to start at dawn and finish up early. Some searching will be needed to find the fish but once located its all good. If you are fortunate enough to be out there on a day when the water authority is moving water the bite is tremendous.
On a recent outing we found the spillway at the SE corner wide open and we proceeded to latch on to over 50 fish in a matter of 4 hours. These fish, mostly in the 3-5 lb. range were just inhaling senko type baits on seemingly every cast for a while until the flow slowed and the pipes to the left of the spillway were opened. This dirtied the water and shut them down but not before we had a plenty of action. For Stick Marsh first timer, Mike Krokrich, this was a day he will not soon forget and is excited that he has chosen to move to the Vero Beach area and will get to fish the lake a lot.
We also had good success with rattle traps and shallow cranks in various locations around the lake. A 75 fish day on your first time out there will spoil you fast but will also indicate that the reports of a dying fishery are greatly exaggerated.
