Hello Friends - Monday I enjoyed a half day wild shiner trip in farm13 with my guest Dennis Marker. Dennis has been out with me before and we both looked forward to a good day of fishing on the full moon. My plan was to fish some clear water at the 4 to 5 foot level and close to hydrilla using live bait. The best area for this is in the far south west end of farm13. After moving into a good boat position I set out 5 rods with wild shiners. Using small bobbers, floating line and wide gap worm hooks I lip hooked each one and set them out to do their thing. I used a short 18 inch leader to hold the bait up. The bass just crushed the shiners from the beginning. Most of the bass were quality fish. Nothing under 3lbs early with several topping the six pound mark. Dennis has 15 to 18 bass in a row hooked up before he missed one. He even managed a double by himself folks. Yes, two bass both over 5 pounds. After the pictures he went on to catch well over 30 bass and missed several hard hitting bass that he thought would have been bigger than all the others. It was a fun filled 4 hours I can tell you that. The key to hittting all those quality bass was cover. Very high sky conditions were holding or relating the bass right up against the cover. Fish in it or out from it and your results fell off. Fish the edge and BAM! A nice bass just about everytime. The bass hit hard and fast early from 7 to 9:30 am. After that they just came steady for the rest of the morning. Things got a little slow right before noon. We did half heartedly fish some artificial baits along the ditches catching mostly yearling bass. The bass seem to prefer the shiners in the southern area. Rattle traps were still producing bass. We spotted a few anglers throwing them with mixed results. As far as the fishing goes I would rate it as good to very good. If your coming to this area be sure to stop at the stickmarsh for a fun filled day of some of Florida's best bass fishing.
