STICK MARSH/FARM 13 RESERVOIR

Created in 1987, the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Reservoir is synonymous with trophy bass fishing. This 6,500-acre reservoir near Fellsmere, west of Vero Beach, became one of the hottest bass lakes in the country during the past decade. FWC biologists predict excellent bass fishing during the early part of the next decade. During winter-spring 2000, many fishing guides reported the best trophy bass catches in recent years. This summer has been no exception, with a number of anglers catching 50 to 100 bass a day, with many over 10 pounds.

Anglers can locate bass in or near hydrilla. Plastic worms, spinner baits, crank baits, soft-jerked baits and topwater propeller baits are effective. Wild golden shiners are the top choice for anglers looking to catch a trophy fish.

The regulation for largemouth bass is catch and release. There is a two-lane boat ramp with courtesy floating dock, paved parking lot, picnic pavilions and rest rooms. No gasoline, food, ice or other facilities are available on site.  This area is part of the St. Johns Blue Cypress Management Unit.
