Stick Marsh Charters
Join Captain Rick Marchetti and Stick Marsh Charters for a fishing adventure near Sebastian, FL. Rick has decades of experience fishing both the offshore waters as well as the rich backcountry and rivers. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or someone who’s learning the ropes, Rick will do his best to make sure you get a trip tailored to your needs.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 19’ Stalker center console that’s powered by a 130 HP Evinrude engine. Her smaller size makes it easy to navigate more shallow or narrow waters, making her a perfect fit for almost any kind of freshwater trip. There’s enough room on the boat for up to three anglers to go fishing.
Stick Marsh Charters specializes in Bass fishing with artificial lures. The waters of the marsh are in the 4 to 8 feet range, and are one of the best places in the are to go Bass Fishing. It’s one of the top 10 trophy Bass locations in the entire state, making it definitely worth a trip.
The price of a trip will include all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle needed for a productive trip. Once you’re back ashore, Captain Rick can clean the catch for your convenience. All you need to do is to bring some drinks, snacks, a pair of polarized sunglasses, and you’re all set.

Fun fishing at its best!
Capt Rick took my kids & I out bass fishing on the stick march in Fellsmere, FL. We had a great time. Rick was really great! Easy going guy, knew right where to go to put us all on some big fish. The boat was comfortable, weather was great and we all had a great day out on the water laughing, telling stories and catching big bass!

Husband & I had a great time with Captain Rick. He put us right where the fish were biting, gave helpful tips & instruction (especially for a total novice like me), was patient & knowledgeable.
