Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 25, 2008 Super User Posted November 25, 2008 The best advice I can give is hire George Welcome for the day if you never fished the farm before. Quote

CFFF 1.5 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 It is a tough place to fish if you haven't ever fished it before. It took me about 3 trips to start catching fish in the Marsh. Once you know where the fish hold, you will love. Also the lake can be very dangerous. Quote
Travlin_Man Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I have fished with George on two occasions. He is a first class guy and knows the lake as he has fished there in all kinds of conditions. You will be a better fisherman after having spent a day with him. Quote

It took me about 3 trips to start catching fish in the Marsh. Once you know where the fish hold, you will love. Also the lake can be very dangerous. Yep, even a lot of guys that live close enough to fish the lake find it very challenging. George has warned on several posts over the years about the dangers you face. I think he has posted some other spots in the general area for bank fishing, but not Stick Marsh/Farm 13. So, unless you hire a guide, I suggest finding other water to fish. 8-) Quote
Steve P. Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Put "stickmarsh" in google. Click on the FIRST site that comes up. Now, whatever you do, avoid this so called "guide" at all costs. This is the best advice anyone could ever give on hiring a guide there. If I save just one person from wasting their money on him, the ridicule I'm going to receive from Muddy for making this post is all worth it. Quote
charlie 1 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Made it down to sunny Fl. fished Garcia Reservoir with a great guide Randy Sanders had a great day of fishing. Boated 45 bass between the 3 of us. He is a great person and can put you on fish. We will go with him our next trip down from WV. You can find him @ ww.basstrips.com and mention Chuck & Jack from WV to him. Quote
BassinSoldier Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Glad ya had a great time and got on 'em pretty good Charlie. Sure is some beautiful water down there huh? I sure do miss the sunshine state! Quote

Yes LC, it was stocked with Redfish. They can do quite well in fresh water, however it didn't work in the Marsh. Quote

Bad to da Bass Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I was watching In-Fisherman on TV and I saw the host fishing a Rat-L-Trap in a stump field. He was also catching them on live minnows. Hope this helps you out a little bit. Quote
