Super User geo g Posted April 9, 2014 Super User Posted April 9, 2014 I have fished alot of lakes in south Florida but one lake takes the prize as a monster lake. I have fished the Stick Marsh in Felesmere, Florida several times. The first time there was an unbelieveable experience. A friend an I fished it for 5 hours and caught 42 fish, not unusual for Florida. The real kicker was my friend that lives close to the lake caught 36 pounds for 5 fish, and I had 28 pounds for 5 fish. We caught 18 fish over 5 pounds. These weights are not unusual for this compound. The government has decided to double the size of the compound and is in the process of constructing a bass fishing paradise. It looks good for the future of this place. Now the down side. This compound is mostly 3 to 4 feet deep. It is loaded with stumps and lay-downs. My friend lives minutes from the Marsh and knows where to run and where to crawl along. You could lose a low unit easily at the stick marsh. Places that look wide open often have stumps everywhere. If you get a chance try the Marsh, but be extra careful! Quote
