Stick Marsh - another great day, another great fish

George_Welcome · 02-21-08, 05:27 PM

Bob Alton of Ft Pierce, Fl and I departed the ramp this AM and headed south on a quest for a big bass. Bob wanted to learn more about the lake, some about techniques, and catch fish in the bargain. His desires were filled as we worked SwimSenkos
The first chore was to find the fish: The deep south end was a good choice as long as the wind was down. The wind was predicted to blow 15-20 knots so we wasted no time getting to the fish.
The second chore was to find the best technique: SwimSenkos in dark colors proved to be the best with the conditions at hand.
The third chore was to put the fish in the boat and we were quite successful with that one. However I have to admit that just a few were missed.
As the morning wore on the wind arrived, which it did very quickly so it was necessary to move to the outside area a bit so as to not damage equipment or get thrown into the water. We now rigged the SwimSenkos with a small weight and slowly worked them back to the boat. This technique worked very well for the rest of the day.
On a cast, Bob's big fish was on as soon as it hit the water. The SwimSenko did its work again and with Bob's good handling this gal made it to the boat for pictures and weighing on the Boga Grip.

Now I don't care whose book it is, that's a nice fish right there.

As you can see by the wave action, the wind was chugging pretty good, but that didn't stop Bob or the magic of the SwimSenko.
We got off the water just before a light rain shower moved in and headed down the dirt road for home. See you out there. Say hi if you get the chance.
