Winter patterns are prevailing as expected on the Stick Marsh. While most of the country is suffering through exceptionally cold weather and adverse conditions, we here in central Florida are catching plenty of sizeable bass and pretty much enjoying ourselves on a daily basis. For those of you in the frozen regions who think this is meant to rub it in… You’re right! I am often asked, “What is the best time of the year to visit the Stick Marsh?”
Normally, I respond, “Anytime you can get away. The fish are almost always cooperative.” Truth be told I would imagine that this is the best time to visit. Not only because the fish are in various stages of the spawn and eager to eat but also because most of the country is unable to fish at all. Our weather has been awesome. Many days start out cool but warm up nicely and even the coldest days are still relatively nice.
