Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Florida

Ron and Diane Bonofiglio of Vinton, Va. decided that a bass trip to the Marsh would be a good addition to their vacation here in sunny Florida. With high anticipation they met me at the ramp, ready for the catching, and greeted by a sunshine filled morning that boded well for a great day on the water. The wind was going to blow a bit today, (10-20 MPH), but it's direction was such that where I wanted to fish the water would stay relatively calm.

Starting with top water did not prove to be too successful so we switched to plastics. I had Rob and Diane working a Senko and I plied the waters to see it it could be another Yamamoto Swim Senko day. Within the first 5 minutes we were thoroughly convinced that the Swim Senko was the way to go..

We are working the Swim Senko T-rigged using an 1/8 to 1/4 ounce weight. Line weights we use here are 17-20#. Mixed retrieves found that the best retrieve was a medium crank using 6:3/1 reels. The bite was similar to that of a bite on a spinner bait in that the rod would just load up. It didn't take much of a hookset to ensure that the bass would make it to the boat.

Wooded areas of the south end of the Farm which are typically bedding areas are holding a good population of bass. A key to having a good day is to not leave an area once you find fish. Stay put and really work the area. The bite on some days will come and go in spurts, and if you stay put you will be where you need to be for that next spurt.

We had a great day on the water: lots of bass and lots of laughs. Thanks Ron and Diane for another great day on the Marsh.

See you out there: say hi if you get the chance.
