Went Saturday to the Stick Marsh. For those of you not familiar with the place, it is a catch & release bass impoundment south of Melbourne FL. It's been around since the mid 80"s but got devestated during our 2005 hurricane season when all the grass was ripped out by the wave action and most of the remaining trees snapped off. The grass is just starting to come back after the 2010 winter, which for us was very cold and had a freeze down to so FL and it killed almost all the tilapia and armoured catfish that were eating all the new growth as soon as it started.
Anyway, I've been fishing it since it opened and always hit it during the spring as that is prime time there.
This trip the wife and I managed 23 bass up to this 6# fish all on artificials (which is all we use).
The fishing can be so good at times that 75 fish days are possible.
Sweet.

Nice bass!
So I am going fishing tomorrow on Diamond Valley lake. I ordered a six pack of Panther Martin copper bladed lures to try out. I was tracking them at USPS and expected delivery yesterday per their routing. No lures. So, when I went online today they are in Honolulu at a sorting facility. So I guess I'll get them next week. I'll just have to use spoons and jigs.
