Thread: A DAY TO REMEMBER

I know it's going to be a BOLD statement, but IMO the water I fished this morning is 1 of the "Best" crappie waters in the state of Florida. That would be the 1 & only Stick Marsh/ Farm Pond. Caught 2 limits from 7 to 9:45am with 14" plus fish in the double digits, completely floored me! Believe it was my best day on the water since a Canada trip some 20 yrs ago& if that's not enough throw in a few 3# green carp to boot. I'm not a big proponent of wildlife management efforts through out the state, but they more than hit the mark at this fishery. The layout is awesome to fish several different areas to get out of the wind. Thank you my friend Tyler, it was a phenomenal day I won't soon forget, we really did wear them "OUT". I also have to thank my wife, I've been working out of town for the past couple weeks & she's afforded me 2 long weekends of fishing in a row, so it's time to spend the holidays with her & family....probably won't wet a line til the New Year passes.....trust me when I say I've gotten more than I deserve in good days on the water recently....tight lines to all through the season....

Sounds like a great trip..... Great pics

Wow, what a great day Jeff

It's been a few years ago, but I have fished Stick Marsh and Farm 13, couple times with a friend from up here and a couple times with Glenn (member here).
Also have fished Garcia (nearby there). We did good but not good enough to return, as opposed to fishing locally.....
Is quite a drive down that long dirt road etc ......

One time, I and an old fishing partner (Two Jiggin John) entered a local fishing tournament put on by a church in Merritt Island, and we caught some monsters up in the Econ = We wound up winning, but "ONLY" because a fellow's live bait well quit working and his fish died. He'd caught them in Stick Marsh and drove all the way back to the rendezvous place out on Hwy#520. I didn't go over and look at his fish but Two Jiggin John did and he was blown away by their size. The guy did win "Big Fish" as it didn't require being alive. We won all kinds of prizes and money = Never done it again .........

Jeff, I've got those two "drink holders" sitting here, need to get em to ya, we'll have to schedule a time when we both are out
on the lake and we'll rendezvous, etc, etc, etc ...........

Yeah, ya'll done real good ! ! ! !

Hey Jeff, a phenomenal day Indeed! I have read stories about Stick Marsh, but your report and the photos are the best.

Will miss your reports for awhile, but I'm sure you will enjoy Family time, It's the BEST!
