If anyone is looking to fish a fun tours want in between the fcc tour emits here's your chance this is all the info I have! You can fish stick marsh, garcias, blue cypress wherver u like as long as u make it to the weigh in on time! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...28b7187459.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5694e8e04d.jpg
where is the weigh in?
At the locks in the dropped pin pic se corner of stick marsh they call it the duck camp
Have you ever fished it ???
We have looked at (FCC) over the years, but backed away - as what it has
lots of structure and other helpful things to ruin a good day.
It is not (i have told) good for people who not been on it.....and spent time on it
Hence main reason we stayed off, along with couple other lakes in Florida.
We try to look out for safety of all - regardless of their experience
I in fact have not been on these lakes any! It will be a first for me! I know a lot of folks will be in airboats fishing backwater and things of that nature!
Fact is. your are so correct about Air-boat group - must be some type reason
for this vs "Glitter, Bass Boats" Alum semi-v's etc.
What people i have talked with over the years said, "better have someone with you
that knows the area" - and or have been on it several times on scout trips.
Shallow - multi trenches (ditches some good some bad) brush - was a flooded
field i believe. To reach it - is also a dandy of a road - "U G L Y"
i enjoy my boat/trailer & truck to much to mess with this situation. Again, just my
thoughts -
U can fish blue cypress lake fishing813 not restricted to the stick marsh! Blue cypress best I can tell has about a 6'AD and has a lot of cypress trees and grass lines extending out into the lake! Also has two man maid fish attractors if I read correctly on Fwc
Stick marsh cant be that bad with all the high dollar bass tournaments on it. My buddy in Stuart was fishing it in his 20' Hewes Light Tackle longlining before he sold it.
Hate to be a pessimist - but if you can't gett'em to travel 35 miles from home to
FCC site - they aren't going to go that far to complete in unfamilar waters - Pay
to enter with an 80% payback. on two positions..............
I'm not begging I just threw it out there to try and get attendance up! IRCAA fights for a lot of rights and public access to diff areas of the state so it's worth 25$ to me to slide over there and support a good cause and see some diff territory!
Looking at entry form - $25.00 per person plus $10.00 big fish.
Only going to pay out 2 positions.
40% big fish
40% 3 fish total - (thats kinda different must touraments are 7)
Looks by entry forum - could load the pontoon up with 20 people at $25.00 per copy
plus big fish -
25 ft jon boat same way - kinda hard on air boat - mostly 3 -4 if its a big one...........
No sour grapes met - I personally know very little if anything about these people.
They are on East side of state and this is first time i have seen anything about
them.
Got into the Charity thing with United Way out of Sarasota 2 yr ago - being run
by a Sarasota Bass Club. (Treated the crappie folks like crap) we were to fish
LAKE PARRISH - $375.00 PER BOAT OF 2 PEOPLE - PLUS I BLIEVE ANOTHER $75.00
THIRD PERSON - $10.00 BIG FISH FOR CRAPPIE WITH 50% PAYOUT. BASS PEOPLE
GOT 100% PAY OUT ON BIG FISH.
3 POSITIONS I BELIEVE PAID ON BASS - ZIP ON CRAPPIE.
DAY WE FISHED IT - WIND WAS HOWLING AT 30 -35MPH OUT OF THE NORTH,
OVER THE DYKE WALLS INTO SHALLOW 8,000 -4-5 FT LAKE -
I WAS OWNER OF 18.5 PROCRAFT BASS BOAT - AND WAS TOSSED AROUND
LIKE A BB IN BOXCAR. WENT OUT INTO LAKE - CHECKED IT OUT AND CAME
BACK TO DOCK - TOTAL TIME MAYBE 1 HR - ASKED IF COULD HAVE RAINCHECK
FOR NEXT EVENT BECAUSE OF WEATHER - WAS TOLD TO HAVE A GOOD DAY.
ONCE I LEFT THE COVER OF CANAL TO LAKE - ALL BETS WERE OFF -
CANAL TO LAKE WAS DOWN 25'IN GROUND, A LITTLE WINDING FOR 1/2 MI
THAN YOU HIT THE LAKE ON VERY SOUTH END - AFTER WIND HAD 1 MI TO
PICK UP STEAM.
AGAIN - THIS DOG IS NOT IN THE HUNT - JUST MAKING MY THOUGHTS
SHOWN.
LAKE PARRISH - WHERE EVERYONE AT ONE TIME OR ANTHER WANT TO SAY THEY
FISH IT FOR THE MONSTER 3 LB SPEC'S PLUS THE 15 LBS BASS PLUS.Attachment 225903
ENTIRE LAKE IS SURROUNDED BY HIS 30-50 FT LEVELL
Attachment 225904
Blue Cypress is a good lake. It can be hard to fish sometimes. lot of stumps around the edge. lake has little conture, not much for dropoffs. I fish it a few times a year with mixed resoltes. don`t fish stick marsh any more too meny boats zippin around. the boat ramp can get hecktic but vary entertaining. It is flooded grove and pasture with some cannels, if you know the place it`s not bad, if you don`t idle around till ya do. lot of props and lower units are trashed there. bait shop at Blue Cypress ramp, I herd mr Middlton passed, so not sure if it`s sill open. I`m on a big job now but if I get off I may try and make it.
It is surely still open being ran by his wife from what I've seen on their Facebook page! Thanks for the info capnkangaroo!! Fishin813 my dad and uncles use to fish Parrish A lot back in the day for BIG catfish from the stories I've herd it was at one time a pretty awesome place!
What does Lake Parrish have to do with Stickmarsh? I am sure this tournament will get a good draw from the locals down south.
Was just comparing the tournaments that "Charity Style" events come on with.
The Parrish event is very expensive for a one day shot at private water.
the IRCAA - which i have no idea of who they are or what they represent - nor
could i find anything on Internet - come from out of nowhere on East Coast -
I would rather spend charitable money on programs closer to our part of the state.
The Parrish event never did finish other its expensive - $375 - 450.00 to
fish it - max of 100 boats. Only payouts come from "fruit jar" deal - and if you
were a bass group it was 100% handed out (1 winner) If a crappie group - 50% was
out - rest went to Bass Group doing the tournament for the "United Way"
$37,500 pretty good take for i day with all volunteer help except paid people of
United Way.
Bottom line Mike - just running my mouth, found out it is the lower jaw that moves.
Kinda got off on wrong tangent - went to far left field.
Can I fish this tournament in a kayak? And do you have to be a member of a club or is it open to all thanks for your time
First off welcome! Dont know anthing about it but on the pic of sign in sheet on first thread there is a name and number to contact for further info. Good luck if you fish it.Quote:
