Subject: Sweet Marsh Martens Access, Iowa
Submitted by CoreyH (ip 167.142.181.234)
Date Fished: 4/22/2006
Water Temperature: 59
Water Clarity: 1 foot My friend and I went out on Saturday at nooon and fished for five hours. Wound up catching about fourteen fish total, thirteen largemouth and one northern. The northern went for a bagley's crankbait, but all the bass were caught on a texas-rigged junebug brush hog. We caught the majority of the fish on the east shore in about a 200 yard stretch where there was a slight dropoff. Most fish were about 5-10 feet from shore and they were really hammering the brush hog when they hit. Most fish were 14-16 inches, but I caught one 18 incher that weighed four pounds and one 21 incher that weighed almost six pounds! You could tell they had been feeding heavily because almost every bass we caught was pot-bellied. Sweet Marsh is a very shallow lake, with most water only a few feet deep, so you have to be very careful or your motor will be churning up a lot of mud.
