Never in all my years fishing there have I seen this.  

Got to the ramp only to find 1 trailer in the lot.  I know it’s May but this isn’t normal.  No one at the kayak only Fellsmere side either.  

Got to the south end to find the other boat. Another boat showed up about 9:00 but by 11:00 or so, we were the only ones on the lake. Felt kinda weird.

We fished it a couple weeks ago and there were 6 boats all day. 

Nothing like February when there wasn’t a parking spot to be found and 40 boats fishing the south end.

Ended up catching 28 total.  Mainly swim baits and worms but got a couple on a top water and a trap.  No size, most in the 2-4# range with a few dink’s.

 

Congrats.

There's weren't a lot of boats on it either when I fished it last November.  Perhaps 3 boats.  That's when I got to fish out of the new SeaDoo Fishing Pro watercraft.

 

Neat lake!

Noticed same thing at Rodman reservoir. My first time there. Fished it a couple days, and saw very few boats. 25 April fished it from 6-12,, saw 3 other boats , was weird. Up here in VA there are generally 3 boats withing casting distance.

Blue, that’s the way it is from January to March down at the Marsh. Bumper to bumper boats.  I’ll go down there that time of year but April & May are MUCH better from my experience.

I fished Stick, about humm 18 years ago ? in Feb,,, was quite a few boats, but cold front conditions only caught a few,  just getting back into it and thought about SM again, but Pulled Palaka FL out of a hat, looked to be good central area to fish St Johns, Lake George, or Rodman, Hired guide for Rodman,, ST johns was full of green slime and a dead zone from Palatka to where the river from rodman flows in,, think I saw a couple boats total,, we were just boat riding mostly and went to eat on the river, Rodman I caught fish cranking wood on my own, then caught tons with the guide shiner fishing. Including a 9 plus and a 10 plus. Again NOONE fishing,,, seemed good to me though,, know when to come down next year.
