Last week’s outings were a better catching time for me. We spent our first outing at 3 Forks. Our intentions were to head south but that didn’t work for us as we came very close to the end of the narrow trail that you must take in a boat to a disappointing stop.
Last week was just down right HOT! The air temperatures were hot but the bite was extremely so-so to say the least.
I fished only once last week and it was at Headwaters. Water temperature was 88 and the air was hotter. We managed 10 bass all in the first hour on topwater lures.
It was a slow bite on both the Lagoon and Stick Marsh. The Lagoon gave up some small trout and mangrove snapper but nothing much more. We did find a spot where there were lots of snook, all were upper slot fish but they had nothing to do with our offerings.
Not much of a catching report but we did finally get out on the water this past week. On the freshwater side of things the ramp and parking lot at Headwaters is still closed for renovations until the 25th. Garcia is EXTREMELY low but if you have a small John Boat with a mud motor on it you could manage these conditions.
Last week I changed up my area for fishing and hit the Lagoon with my grandson. Now that school is out we plan on fishing together more often until his summer break is over. He’s doing a different kind of learning by me teaching him all that I can. My grandfather was my mentor when I was his age and now it’s my turn to do the same.
My wife and I headed for the Stick Marsh hoping to come across some schooling action. With a high pressure and a full moon I wasn’t expecting much but you can only hope to catch a few.
Three Forks, Garcia and the Stick Marsh are on fire right now for catching fish. The bass are schooling up on shad pods at the Stick Marsh and the big bluegill are spawning in and around the vast wood throughout the lake.
For me this week the better areas on all three lakes that I fish lately are where you find good concentrations of dragonflies working the waters. Both bass and the spawning bluegill are feasting on them.
I only fished Garcia for two days last week. The first day it was the day after that small front came through.
