Stick Marsh Fishing Charters

Join Captain Bill and his Team on the famed Stick Marsh Fishing for a trip of a lifetime. Stick Marsh is legendary for catching plenty of Largemouth Bass for you to reel in. Captain Bill is a lifelong Bass fisherman and knows every trick in the book to help get you some catches. He’s well-supplied in light tackle and has excellent rods and reels, which make for a great day of Bass fishing.

Your adventure starts near Sebastian, where Capt. Bill will wait for you in his 19’ Ranger bass boat. This elegant craft is perfect for gliding across the lake’s gentle waters. It’s got fishfinder equipment and an onboard cooler with ice to keep your drinks cool in the afternoon heat.

You’ll not only fish Stick Marsh since the captain specializes in Bass fishing with artificial lures. The waters of Stick Marsh are in the 4 to 8 feet range and are one of the best places to go Bass fishing. It’s one of the state’s top 10 trophy Bass locations, making it worth a trip.

You’ll be fishing with lures on this trip, but live bait can also be provided upon request. Captain Bill provides bottled water for his fellow fishermen but feels free to bring your drinks with you along with some food. You’ll need to book your Florida fishing license beforehand, which is available to purchase online.

The price of a trip will include all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle needed for a productive trip. All you need to do is to bring some drinks, snacks, and a pair of polarized sunglasses, and leave the rest up to Stick Marsh Fishing!

Hello, I am Captain Bill and a licensed master captain. Originally born in Iowa and raised on the Mississippi River. I've been fishing ever since I was a little kid. I caught the Bass fishing bug early in life. When I was younger, I found an old Johnson spoon in my father’s tackle box, tied it on, and caught a Bass. Instantly hooked on fishing, my pursuit of a career in it was inevitable. Living on the river where his family owned a campground and bait shop, he has been putting people on fish for years. He has been married for 21 years and is a father of 4 and grandfather of 1. He heard about Headwaters Lake being open, so he moved to Florida to pursue his dream of being the first full-time fishing guide on Headwaters and now has a team of guides that work with him.  Captain Bill and the team will help get you experience Headwaters and Stick Marsh like no other, producing beautiful trophy Largemouth Bass all day long. Also, enjoy fishing Winter Haven Chain of Lakes and the surrounding Central Florida Bass fisheries are his kingdom! Don't look any further, choose the sure thing by clicking the book now button now. Let's go catch some trophies that the others only talk about!
