super day at stickmarsh

[avid]

SteveP and I went to the fabled stickmarsh and had a pretty memorable day.

We caught 72 bass up to just under 5 lbs. The bite was still going strong but ole avid got pooped so we quit at about 4pm.

Here's Steve with one of numerous doubles.

Here's me with another of our doubles.

And me again with the big fish of the day. A 4 3/4 pounder which is not big by stick marsh standards, but the numerous 3 lbers made up for it.

It was a beautiful day. Sunny and warm with the bass hitting everything from plastics to crankbaits to topwaters. Actually the topwater bite started at about 3pm. The last hour saw all our bass caught on Steve's chug bug and my Sammy and Rico popper.

Great day.

Sounds like the OLD days at Stick Marsh. Try that Poes crankbait, and you'll be loving life! 8-) Shoot me a PM, and I'll give you some spots to try next time.

I am under the impression that you guide the stick marsh? Is that correct?  If so, was this a customer with you or just a fishing buddy?

Always love reading your reports, my grandparents live relatively close to the marsh and one holiday trip I will HAVE to make a trip down.

as the thread starter I can only assume you are directing this question to me.

The answer is a loud NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I am not a guide. I don't even know where to find the fish. SteveP, gets all credit for locating the fish and identifying techniques to catch them. My job is to make casts, talk trash, and try not to do something stupid like not drink enough water on a hot day, so that Steve has to quit early to save my sorry ***.

The recent posts that you see regarding the stickmarsh can make it seem that this is an easy lake for big bags of big fish. NOT TRUE. The first 5 times I went there (with a different partner) I was skunked all 5 times.

I would highly recommend that you call George Welcome before making a trip here. George has been guiding for many years and knows the lake as well as anyone.

I'm glad you enjoy my posts. I try to make them interesting as well as factual.

Have fun and good luck.
