This past week brought another series of cold front conditions into the Stick Marsh. It seems a little early for it to be this cool, but overall the weather has been ideal once the sun gets up and does its job for a couple hours. Passing fronts have been mostly dry of late and relatively absent of strong Northerly winds generally associated with their passage. It has made for some exceptionally fine days to be out on the lake.
When I went out Tuesday the weather was nice, about 75 with a light wind, but the water temp had dropped down to 63. I took out our old buddy J.Z. again, an annual friend who travels from St. Louis to Florida every year for Thanksgiving with family and takes a fishing day for himself when he comes. We met at the ramp around 10 and headed out.
Our first stop was the woody areas of the SW farm. Bites were slow and the water was kind of dirty so we moved to the spillway where our luck improved as we got into the early afternoon hours. We were fishing with shiners today and the bass were cautiously interested. The bass were biting more than we were catching but we still managed to land a few good ones. It was great to have John back and I look forward to seeing him again next year.
Up next were the Flack guys, Larry Sr. and his son Larry II. These two anglers enjoyed a relaxed and pleasant, 6 hr - 3 dozen, day. The front had arrived the night before, bringing lower temps for both the air and water. The day started breezy and chilly but quickly improved to become nice and sunny. I was shocked to see that the water had dropped to 57, a whopping 6 degrees lower than the day before. In spite of the drop, the bass were hungry for some shiners. We started off at the back lot, catching a few, and moved on around to the spillway about noon. The bites and catches really picked up as the afternoon wore on. The late start has been the way to go this month. The bass are far more active as the day warms up and we’ve been catching them in the later part of the afternoon.
The upcoming holidays are a great excuse to take a well deserved fishing trip to the marsh. We also offer gift certificates if you want to give the fisherman in your life a fantastic day of fishing. The bass are biting and the weather is great. Give me a call, toll free at: 1-866-BASS-066 or email me: deanherdman@yahoo.com . See you soon!
