Hello Friends - Tuesdays fishing trip went as well as expected. My guest were picked up at the resort and taken to a big breakfast then whisked to the Stickmarsh/Farm13 for a day of lunker bass fishing. The weather man had predicted a very windy day so we got off to an early start and headed for our top producing big fish hole first. Large live wild Lake shiners went along for what turned out to be a short ride before their timely death. We ran to the back of farm 13 and set up with 6 rods each on short leaders and small floats. The bass were feeding and sure enough and true to form the big boys came thru with TED EADS of California landing a perfect 11.43 pound lunker. What a great looking bass! Ted stayed in the zone for several hours and was positive he missed another lunker that got the line wrapped around the propeller and broke off after pulling out tons of drag. The keys to our success seemed to be short leaders with the shiners hooked just behind the dorsal fin to keep them up and active. The area we were in has some grass patches and that's were the big boys were hiding. We stopped counting in the high twenties and went on to catch plenty of nice bass until the wind suddenly started to blow just like old man weather said it would. At 10:30 I made the call to leave the fish and head for calmer water before the winds got up over the 20mph mark. Just in time we arrived in the center ditch. On the far east end we anchored and ate a great lunch. Ted's wife Nina had already caught more and bigger bass than ever before. Moving to the North end we fished the c-54 canal area to finish out what turned out to be a great day of bass fishing despite the windy conditions. Congratulation to Ted Eads who will make into the lunker gallery. Before leaving we talked to several locals who reported fair fishing with plastic worms. The biggest factor was the wind. Capt.
