FD.

Congrats and welcome to the club! Now go get another one and a pic.

Bassn: It was my second trip to the Farm. I hit one at idle working my way across the Marsh to the rim canal. When we were on the south end of the farm and it is calm you can see the stumps (for the most part) but when the wind kicked up I could not stay off of them with the trolling motor so we moved back north. Sam: I talked to Steve P friday night for some info and George PM'd me sat morning at 3 am. He was out and I thought I saw his boat up close to the shore, but I am not familiar enough with those stumps(there are THOUSANDS of them) to make it close enough to say high.

We left the house at 4 am, arrived at the StickMarsh ramp at 7. Ran to the south end of the Farm where Josh proceeded to kill us with a spinner bait. The wind picked up and we headed to the middle levy to hide in some calmer water. About an hour later we headed back to the stumps in the south end and caught a few more. Again the wind picked up so back we go to hide and for 3 hours we tried to leave. The only problem was about every 15 min we would catch a fish..... Totals Josh - 8 mostly in the 2 lbs range and lost several big ones. Taylor - 2 small guys and a lot of camera work Dad - 6 mostly small with a DD that got off at the boat Taylor took this one, I thought it was cool, she got the photo talent from Nicole. Great day - The kids and I spent 15 hours together while Mom got to spend some time by herself...Can't wait to do it again..

Pack your reels in your suitcase and get at piece of 1.5" pvc and 2 caps at your home depot. Cut it an inch longer than your longest rod and glue one cap on. Pack your rods in with some styrofoam peanuts and then tape your other cap on. You may have to pay extra or give up a suitcase. If I am prefishing Toho at that time you would be welcome to fish with me . I will let you know.

They will be at Lakefront in Kissimmee.

The Quick Version -- I'm beat. 16 to the boat, over 30 missed, 2 break offs, 1 DD I lost before I could get him to the boat. After 9 hours on the water I finally had to tell the kids it's time to go home....Josh had 8, up to 2 pounds, I had 6 dinks, and Taylor had 2. Pics to come after some sleep....

10-4 George, We're leaving now, see you in 3 hours. Red Stratos with a Johnson 200GT, headed to the south end of the farm on steve p's advice.

Nice looking swimbait. Did you make it or buy it?

I have not been on it in two weeks but....gambler cane toad, black/blue flake ace/stick bait/ popnR...worked two weeks ago.

Stevie Wonder called. He would like his shades back!

After reading the recent posts from you guys, the kids and I are planning a pilgrimage to the Farm this Saturday. The weather forecast is for showers, temp in the 70's with the wind out of the north at 7-10. Any ideas for baits and locations?

Great Job and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. They are having 100+ bass days on the Stickmarsh/Farm 13 these days. You have got to go. PM George Welcome, he is a guide on the Farm.

Look in Feb's Bass Times, there is an article about club membership..

Why don't you guys get jobs? I hear the Walmart is looking for a new greeter. With your stylish glasses and charming personality you should fit right in. ;D Now the boy (looking over my shoulder at the hawgs) is demanding an excursion to the Farm...The things we do to make our children happy.

There are about a hundred to choose from within an hours drive. Deep and clear to shallow bowls of pea soup and every combination in between. I think it makes me a better angler to fish as many different conditions as possible. Maybe I'm just retarded. Where's my helmet....

Version 7E "You should probably go to the ER, that's gonna get infected".

Remember to put the plug in! If you remember that the rest of the day should be taken care of by your instincts.

I follow BASS Elites more than FLW. Mostly because of the TV coverage. The goobers that host FLW make me puke plus there is a lot less fishing coverage and more crap that I care absolutely nothing about. If I have an elite favorite it would have to be "Wolverine".

I saw probably 50 beds on K sunday. Mostly small bucks but I did get broke off by something that was bumping a pad. I flipped a worm in on 12# big game, it did not hit the bottom and kept going.

Great Job!

I refuse to watch just because he is arrogant and obnoxious. Zona i like and think he is funny. I know Roland is probably the best of all time but I can't watch him or Jimmy Huston or Bill Dance for that matter. I think the constant merchandising is what gets to me.

5 yesterday and 2 today.

heaviest is 10-6 caught in July 07 in Ga- 25" but thick longest is 27", went 8-6 in Aug 07 and got me a big fish check I caught 2 more over 6 and 4 more over 5. All of these fish in 07. Not a bad year.

I got a pair for xmas and love them. I live in Fl and it warm most of the time and they are still confortable. The also make a great wind suit on chilly days.
