Fishing Starke Lake
Starke Lake is an approximately 200-acre lake in Ocoee, Florida, and one of FWC’s Fish Orlando waters. FWC’s current Fish Orlando guide notes fish attractors marked by buoys, deeper bass habitat, and stocking of bass in December 2025 and hybrid striped bass in April 2026. Conditions can change; use the agency’s latest forecast.
Fishing Starke Lake
Try soft plastic worms around the marked attractors and drop-offs, or crankbaits when fish are active. Largemouth bass, sunshine bass, crappie and bluegill offer several freshwater targets. See our bass fishing guide and crappie guide for broader tactics. Old crappie stocking totals from the 1990s do not describe today’s fish population.
Access and rules
The City of Ocoee provides a boat ramp and fishing pier. Confirm operating details at the site. FWC says Starke Lake follows statewide fishing rules with a special panfish bag limit and a prohibition on possessing cast nets; read the current FWC regulations and posted kiosks before fishing. For regional planning, see nearby Winter Garden fishing. No Starke Lake trip product is listed on this page.
