The bass bite has improved, especially on days when the wind has cooperated. Good concentrations of bass have been biting in the stumps on the south shore of the farm. These areas can be a bit difficult to withstand when the wind blows like it did last week but I would expect that it will only be getting better with abating winds and warming waters. Soft plastic creature type baits and jerks have produced nicely as well as the always popular senko type worm. I’m hoping that the topwater bite will soon be on here as well.
Wild shiner anglers are finding some nice fish but it seems that plenty of patience is needed at times and the mudfish have been hungrier than the bass as of late. Still, it’s fun and relaxing fishing and as always the scenic natural beauty and serenity of this lake is unrivaled.
The boat is running great after some minor maintenance issues were corrected and I have begun to restock my tackle bag with a new assortment of quality baits after a burglary forced me to start over. Hoping to see some old friends come out of hiding and fish soon and as always I’m looking forward to meeting new ones who are excited to see if the Stick Marsh can produce a new personal best for them like it did for our new buddy Bill.
