Last week was just down right HOT! The air temperatures were hot but the bite was extremely so-so to say the least. We covered quite a bit on Stick Marsh throwing lipless crankbaits. When we did manage to hook up on a fish we covered the surrounding area to pick up a few more. The best bite was the first hour and a half of the morning and by 8:30 or so it completely shut off for us.
The next day we headed to the 3 Forks marsh area to see what it might do for catching. We did manage to have a fun filled morning throwing topwater and catching several bass for the first hour but that bite died quickly. We changed our tactics and my friend started throwing a Beetle Spin and right away started hooking up on Bluegill and Cichlids. I was throwing my 5wt fly rod and did the same. That bite kept us out in the water well past the noon time part of the day.
The other two days were on the Lagoon but that bite was painfully slow. When I was at the Stick Marsh after our day was over, I walked over to where the Kayak launch is for Headwaters to see if any work has been done to open it up for better for access but from what I could tell is they sprayed it heavily to kill all the vegetation that is clogging the ramp but nothing else for making it user friendly. It’s been a hot and tough week for fishing.
