At Stick Marsh the bass are suspended in the trees. To get them out requires working lures over the tops of the trees. Occasionally letting the lures touch the top of the trees is a successful method. Spinnerbaits, Chatter Clatter Type Baits, Rattle Traps, and Senko type baits will produce. Drifting live bait over the trees will also produce.

In Farm 13 the bass are moving around chasing bait. They are in large schools. Find the school feeding and you are in bass fishing heaven. The bass in both lakes are fat and healthy. In Farm 13 the Carolina rig, Spinnerbaits, Chatter Clatter Type baits, Rattle Traps will produce.

The Spillway was running on Sunday. The bass have moved in. Not in great numbers but it's a super area to fish to avoid the wind. Tubes and wild shiners have been the most productive lures.
