🎣 Fishing Spot: Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Reservoir

đŸžïž General Details About Stick Marsh/Farm 13

Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Reservoir—one of Florida's most intriguing and productive bass fisheries—stands as a testament to how human engineering can accidentally create world-class fishing. This 6,700-acre flood control reservoir, located near Fellsmere in Indian River County approximately 90 miles southeast of Orlando and 25 miles west of Vero Beach, wasn't designed as a recreational lake. It was built in the 1980s by the St. Johns River Water Management District to capture agricultural runoff and provide flood protection for surrounding farmlands. But when Florida-strain largemouth bass discovered thousands of acres of flooded farmland studded with standing dead timber, submerged fencerows, and remnant irrigation ditches, they did what bass do best—they thrived explosively.

The result? A bass factory that consistently produces trophy fish, shattered Florida records, and created a devoted following of anglers who recognize Stick Marsh as something special. The lake's official name is "Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Reservoir," with Stick Marsh referring to the northern 2,700 acres and Farm 13 denoting the southern 4,000 acres connected by a canal. Most anglers simply call it "Stick Marsh" or "The Stick," and both sections fish similarly with standing timber being the defining characteristic.

Walk the shoreline of Stick Marsh and you'll immediately notice what makes this lake unique: thousands upon thousands of dead trees standing like skeletal sentinels across the flooded landscape. These "sticks"—cypress, oak, and pine trees that drowned when the reservoir filled—create a submerged forest providing perfect bass habitat. The structure is mind-boggling: isolated single trees, small clusters, massive timber flats with hundreds of trees, fencerows creating linear structure, and remnant canals cutting through timber fields. Every tree, every stump, every laydown potentially holds bass.

But here's what elevates Stick Marsh from good to legendary: the lake's fertility. Agricultural runoff that would be problematic in natural lakes creates incredible nutrient loading here, producing explosive aquatic vegetation growth, massive baitfish populations, and fast-growing bass. The Florida FWC estimates Stick Marsh produces approximately 1,000 pounds of bass per acre annually—among the highest productivity rates of any Florida lake. This translates to abundant 3-6 pound bass, numerous 7-9 pounders, and legitimate shots at double-digit trophies.

The lake's moment in the spotlight came in the early 1990s when it produced an avalanche of trophy bass, including multiple fish over 15 pounds. While the lake has matured since its explosive early years (bass populations stabilize over time), Stick Marsh remains remarkably consistent, producing quality fish year after year. The FWC's surveys consistently show excellent size structure with good numbers of bass over 5 pounds and a healthy population of 8+ pound trophies.

Stick Marsh averages 4-6 feet deep with maximum depths around 8-10 feet in the old canal system that bisects the reservoir. This shallow profile means the entire lake is fishable water—no dead zones, no areas too deep to hold bass. The lake bottom is primarily soft muck left from agricultural use, punctuated by harder sand/shell areas along old roads and the original farm infrastructure. Aquatic vegetation flourishes: hydrilla, eelgrass, peppergrass, and various emergent plants create a diverse habitat mosaic mixed with the standing timber.

The lake connects to the broader C-25 Canal system, part of the St. Johns River Water Management District's infrastructure. Water levels fluctuate based on regional rainfall and water management needs, but the district maintains relatively stable levels to support the fishery. Access is excellent with multiple boat ramps, and the lake receives moderate fishing pressure—less than Lake Toho but more than remote Lake Kissimmee.

Beyond bass, Stick Marsh supports excellent populations of black crappie (called "specks" locally), with the standing timber providing perfect structure for these fish. Bluegill, redear sunfish (shellcrackers), and various panfish thrive here. The lake is strictly a warmwater fishery with no significant catfish population, keeping the focus on bass and crappie.

Wildlife encounters are frequent: osprey nest in dead timber, anhinga dry their wings on exposed branches, alligators cruise the shorelines (always present but generally non-aggressive), otters hunt in timber fields, and various wading birds—great blue herons, great egrets, white ibis—stalk the shallows. At dawn and dusk, the lake takes on an eerie, beautiful quality as mist rises through the standing timber, creating an atmospheric fishing experience found nowhere else in Florida.

🐟 Species and Seasonal Timing

While Stick Marsh is synonymous with largemouth bass, it offers year-round multi-species opportunities.

Species Peak Season Notes
Largemouth Bass Year-round; Spring (March-May) prime Florida-strain genetics producing fast growth rates. Spring spawn period offers sight-fishing to bedding bass in 2-4 feet near timber and in grass pockets. Summer (June-Aug) bass relate to timber and deeper grass; excellent dawn/dusk topwater. Fall (Sept-Nov) aggressive feeding patterns; lipless cranks excel. Winter (Dec-Feb) target timber with jerkbaits and suspending lures. Less pressured than many famous Florida lakes but consistent quality. Bag limit: 5 bass, only 1 over 16".
Black Crappie (Speck) November – March peak Standing timber creates ideal crappie habitat. Winter months produce best action—target 6-10 feet deep around timber clusters, brushpiles, and canal structures. Average 10-12 inches with frequent 13-15" slabs. Use minnows or small jigs (1/16-1/8 oz) in white, chartreuse, pink. Vertical presentations around timber most effective. Excellent eating. 25 per day bag limit.
Bluegill & Redear Sunfish April – June spawning peak Spawn in shallow areas (2-4 feet) around timber edges and grass patches. Redear sunfish (shellcrackers) grow larger, averaging 8-10 inches. Excellent targets for kids and beginners. Use crickets, red worms, or small beetle spins around spawning beds. Numbers fishing during spawn can be exceptional. 50 per day combined bag limit.
Warmouth Year-round; spring peak Overlooked but present. Similar to bluegill but more aggressive. Caught incidentally while bass fishing. Good size (6-8 inches). No dedicated targeting typically.

Bass Fishing Seasonal Guide:

Spring (March-May): Spawn and Post-Spawn Excellence
This is when Stick Marsh shines brightest. Water temperatures climb from 65-78°F and bass move shallow to spawn. Pre-spawn (March) sees bass staging in 4-8 feet around timber clusters and main lake structure, feeding heavily on crankbaits, jerkbaits, and lipless crankbaits. Spawn period (April-early May) offers incredible sight-fishing—you can see bass on beds in timber clearings, grass pockets, and along shorelines. Cast to visible fish with soft plastics, jigs, and small swimbaits. Post-spawn (late May) fish move to adjacent deeper timber and grass to recover, remaining aggressive and catchable. Excellent all-around fishing with good numbers and quality fish.

Summer (June-August): Dawn, Dusk, and Timber
Hot water (78-86°F) pushes bass into patterns around cooler timber shade and deeper grass. Early morning (first light through 9am) produces explosive topwater action—buzzbaits, walking baits, and prop baits along timber edges and over grass beds. Late evening (5pm-dark) sees similar activity. Mid-day (10am-4pm) requires working deeper timber (6-10 feet), punching grass mats, and Carolina-rigging deeper structure. Texas-rigged worms, creature baits, and jigs flipped into timber shade produce consistent catches. Afternoon thunderstorms briefly drop water temps and trigger feeding windows.

Fall (September-November): Aggressive Transition
Cooling water (70-78°F) and shorter days trigger aggressive feeding. Bass roam more, relating less tightly to specific trees and more to timber edges and transition zones. Lipless crankbaits, spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and vibrating jigs excel as search baits to locate concentrations. Once found, slow down and work thoroughly with soft plastics and jigs. Excellent all-around fishing with good size mix. Less predictable day-to-day but explosive when you crack the pattern.

Winter (December-February): Jerkbait and Finesse Time
Cold water (50-68°F) slows bass metabolism but fishing remains good. Bass suspend around timber in 4-8 feet, often holding near but not tight to trees. Jerkbaits become deadly—long rod sweeps cause baitfish-imitating lures to dart and pause, triggering lethargic bass. Lipless crankbaits slow-rolled through timber produce strikes. Drop shot and Carolina rigs work for finesse presentations. Warmer days (cold fronts clear, sun exposure) create short but intense feeding windows—capitalize quickly. Trophy bass are caught during winter by patient anglers working timber methodically.

🎯 Mastering Stick Marsh: Advanced Techniques

Success on Stick Marsh requires understanding timber fishing, reading how bass position around structure, and developing techniques specific to standing deadfall. These three methods unlock consistent catches.

🎯 Technique #1: Systematic Timber Fishing for Structure-Oriented Bass

Overview
Standing timber defines Stick Marsh's character and fishing approach. Unlike bass positioning on abstract grass types or depth contours, timber provides obvious, visible structure that bass relate to predictably. But here's the challenge: with literally thousands of trees across 6,700 acres, which ones hold bass? Learning to read timber—identifying productive tree characteristics, understanding seasonal positioning, recognizing high-percentage features, and efficiently covering water—separates catching anglers from frustrated ones.

This technique transforms overwhelming structure into manageable, pattern-based fishing. You'll learn which trees bass prefer, how they position on those trees based on conditions, and how to systematically work timber to maximize hookups. Master this and you'll become a timber-fishing expert applicable to reservoirs, river systems, and flooded forests nationwide.

🐟 Technique #2: Grass and Timber Edges for Transition Zone Bass

Overview
While Stick Marsh is famous for timber, it's actually a hybrid fishery with both standing timber and significant aquatic vegetation—primarily hydrilla, eelgrass, and peppergrass. The most productive fishing often occurs where these two habitat types intersect: timber growing through grass beds, grass edges adjacent to timber flats, and transition zones where bass move between structure types based on feeding patterns and conditions.

These edges and transition zones concentrate bass because they provide everything bass need in close proximity: timber for ambush structure, grass for baitfish concentration and oxygen production, depth variety, and multiple escape routes. Learning to identify and fish these interfaces dramatically improves catch rates compared to fishing timber or grass in isolation.

🎯 Technique #3: Dawn Topwater Assault for Explosive Visual Strikes

Overview
Few fishing experiences rival watching a 5-7 pound Stick Marsh bass explode through the surface at dawn to crush a topwater lure thrown past a standing dead tree. The combination of clear water, shallow timber-and-grass habitat, and aggressive Florida-strain largemouth creates topwater conditions that are consistently productive and visually spectacular. Stick Marsh's shallow profile (4-6 foot average) means bass are never far from the surface, and during low-light dawn periods, they actively hunt baitfish in the top 2 feet of the water column.

This technique is about efficiency, mobility, and covering water. Unlike patient timber flipping or methodical edge work, dawn topwater fishing is fast-paced, athletic, and optimistic. Make long casts, work lures with rhythmic confidence, stay mobile, and experience the adrenaline surge when timber-laden water explodes beneath your lure.

🧭 Where to Fish Stick Marsh

At 6,700 acres with thousands of standing trees, Stick Marsh can overwhelm first-timers. These proven areas provide starting points:

North End (Near Fellsmere Grade Ramp)
Primary access area with mixed timber density and good grass beds. Features isolated tree clusters, timber flats, and edges. Excellent starting point for first-timers. Good all-season productivity. Short run from main ramp. Less pressured than some other areas due to sheer size. Work north from ramp exploring timber clusters.

Mid-Lake Timber Flats
Vast areas with moderate timber density. Requires systematic approach and pattern recognition. When you crack the code, excellent numbers fishing. Good spring and fall. Use timber trolling method covering water efficiently. Electronics help identify subtle depth changes and grass within timber.

The Canal (Connecting Stick Marsh to Farm 13)
Deeper water (6-10 feet) with current potential. Excellent winter and pre-spawn area. Less timber, more open water. Good for jerkbaits, crankbaits, and Carolina rigs. Bass stage here before moving shallow. Always worth checking during cold periods.

Farm 13 South Section
Southern 4,000 acres accessed via Farm 13 ramp. Similar fishing to Stick Marsh proper. Less pressure due to separate access. Excellent timber and grass mix. Good alternative when north section crowded. Slightly different timber characteristics—worth exploring.

East Shore Timber and Grass
Extensive timber growing through grass beds. Some of the best transition zone fishing on the lake. Spring and summer prime times. Excellent topwater at dawn along edges. Work methodically as this is premium water.

West Shore Points and Pockets
Various points extending into lake with timber clusters. Good pre-spawn staging areas. Work these thoroughly during late February-April. Bass concentrate here before moving shallow. Multiple high-percentage features.

Isolated Tree Groups (Scattered Throughout)
GPS and mark every productive isolated tree cluster you find. These are high-percentage spots year-round. Build a milk run of 20-30 clusters. Return to them regularly. Some of the most consistent fishing available.

The "Stick Highway" (Old Fencerows)
Linear timber rows marking old fence lines from agricultural days. Bass stage along these like highway rest stops. Find one, follow it for hundreds of yards. Excellent pattern fishing opportunities. Work both sides thoroughly.

Creek Channel (Remnant Drainage)
Old creek channel runs through portions of lake. Slightly deeper (8-10 feet). Winter holding area. Requires electronics to locate. Fish with drop shot, Carolina rigs, jerkbaits. Trophy potential during cold snaps.

Grass Bed Islands (Scattered)
Grass beds surrounded by more open timber. Bass relate to edges and interior pockets. Good all seasons. Work edges first, then interior. Often overlook but productive.

🧭 Summary

Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Reservoir stands as one of Florida's most unique and consistently productive bass fisheries—a 6,700-acre testament to how engineering projects can inadvertently create exceptional fishing. What began as a flood control reservoir for agricultural runoff evolved into a bass fishing destination characterized by thousands of standing dead trees, shallow fertile water, and fast-growing Florida-strain largemouth that have created a devoted following among knowledgeable anglers.

The lake's defining feature—its vast forests of standing timber—provides both challenge and reward. Unlike grass-dominated lakes where bass locations can be ambiguous, timber offers obvious, visual structure that bass use predictably. But with thousands of trees across 6,700 acres, the challenge becomes identifying which timber holds fish, understanding how bass position around structure, and efficiently covering water to locate productive patterns. Master these skills on Stick Marsh and you've acquired timber-fishing expertise applicable to reservoirs, river systems, and flooded forests nationwide.

Beyond the timber, Stick Marsh's hybrid character—combining standing deadfall with significant aquatic vegetation—creates productive transition zones where timber and grass intersect. These edges concentrate bass by providing everything they need in close proximity: vertical structure for ambush, horizontal grass cover for baitfish, varied depths, and multiple escape routes. Learning to identify and fish these interfaces separates consistently successful anglers from frustrated ones.

The lake produces quality fish with remarkable consistency. While the explosive early years (early 1990s) when multiple 15+ pound bass were caught are past, Stick Marsh continues delivering excellent fishing with abundant 3-6 pound bass, numerous 7-9 pounders, and realistic shots at double-digit trophies. The Florida FWC's surveys consistently show healthy size structure and good trophy potential—estimated several hundred bass over 8 pounds swim in the reservoir at any time.

Dawn topwater fishing along timber edges, systematic flipping and pitching to standing trees, working transition zones where grass meets timber, winter jerkbait presentations around suspended bass, and spring sight-fishing to spawning bass in timber clearings—Stick Marsh rewards diverse techniques while demanding respect for its structure-dominated character.

Beyond bass, excellent black crappie fishing during winter months provides productive alternatives when bass slow, making this a true multi-species destination. The standing timber that defines bass habitat creates perfect crappie structure, with quality 10-14 inch fish common during November through March.

The stark beauty of dead timber silhouetted against sunrise, the eerie atmosphere of mist rising through skeletal forests, osprey perching on exposed branches, and the explosive strikes of bass ambushing topwater lures near standing trees—Stick Marsh offers atmospheric fishing experiences that satisfy beyond mere catch statistics.

Whether you're a visiting angler seeking to learn timber fishing, a local targeting trophies with patient winter techniques, a tournament angler refining edge patterns, or a topwater enthusiast chasing explosive dawn strikes—Stick Marsh delivers authentic, challenging, rewarding bass fishing in one of Florida's most unique settings.

Respect the resource through catch-and-release of quality bass, careful navigation to avoid prop damage to shallow lake bottom, following slot limit regulations, and participating in the TrophyCatch program for bass over 8 pounds. Help preserve this remarkable fishery for future generations who will marvel at how a flood control reservoir became one of Florida's most beloved bass destinations.
