Default Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Florida

Happy Father's Day to all.
Since the 16th we have had 7 full day trips on the Marsh. Chris Mulac, his brother Art, and his Father-In-Law Roger, finished out with a blast. Dave Slobodkin came for his second trip to the Marsh and spent two days with Scott. Dave's first day here we sent him up to fish the Banana River with friend and guide Eric Perez for a day of red fishing and that coupled with the two days on the Marsh will give him a lot to talk about for some time to come. I had Chip Harris and Bret Kelley out for the last three days and they saw some pretty hot top water fishing. Scott had out John Marshall and his friend George on Friday. They came up from Lake Okeechobee and turned what to that point had been some poor fishing into a great trip. Today we are sitting home relaxing but tomorrow it will be back to the lake as we find that more relaxing than sitting around.
Each of the above trips all started in the same location which produced a top water action bonanza. The grass has sprung up just inside the cut into the Marsh and the bass were stacked and willing to fall for presentations of buzz baits and soft jerk baits. The bite which would start at daylight would continue until about 8:30-9:00 at which time it was off to other areas. Each day saw more and more boats and each day the area produced a lot of bass. As of yesterday there were as many as 8 boats working the area so the bite will certainly not be as good as it was at the beginning.
The grass mats in the back have seen a decline in cooperating fish. The mats that are located along a swale on the north end of the Farm have produced some outstanding catches but on a whole over the last three days they have been off. However, I think that is function of the bite being off more than anything. We did move about through the heavier grass that is in the middle of the Farm, but we didn't find anything in the way of an exciting bite. We would pick at the bass throughout the day and end up with decent days, but certainly not days like we had been having.
(SYNOPSIS...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE FLORIDA STRAITS
WILL BEGIN TO DRIFT SLOWLY NORTH MONDAY...BUT WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF
THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK. A SEA BREEZE WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE COAST
EACH AFTERNOON...BUT THE OFFSHORE STEERING WINDS WILL PUSH SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS BACK ACROSS THE EAST COAST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOONS
AND EVENINGS.)
The above weather is more than likely the culprit in the slow down of the bite. The referenced high pressure ridge sat over us for the last 3 days and I believe that is what played havoc with the bite. This ridge will be gone by the end of the week and with the storms that will push in from the south should come the days of hot and furious bites. We are noticing more and more shad busts but they still remain small in size. As the schools of shad get larger so should the numbers of bass that are willing to play.
Watch for the shad busts and be ready with top water and spinner baits. Look for the bass to be adjacent to grass and even holding tight to the cover. Working plastics across the mats and letting them fall right next to the mats will probably get you the most and best fish.
We still have some openings in June and a lot of openings in July so give us a call.
See you on the water.
