There's enough room on the boats for up to 4 anglers to go fishing. The boats you'll be fishing from are 20'. It has everything you'll need for catching fish at the lake or shallow waters.
We specialize in bass fishing with artificial lures but are happy to use live bait if you prefer.

Let the captain know which techniques you'd like to master, and he'll adjust everything.

We had a great day of fishing on Headwaters with Captain Bill, boating over 40 bass! We threw some topwater lures a few places with no takers, but the fish loved the shiners. Jazz got his personal best and I came close. This is also a lovely place for bird and gator watching without any highway or construction noise.
Me and my 11 year old son had a blast catching fish with Captian Justin as our guide. I am glad we opted to go with live bait/ shiners as that brought in the most fish but we did get a few on artificial baits as well. 6 hours trip, almost 20 bass, I lost count. No fish over 4 pounds, but thats kind of how it goes some days. If your thinking of doing this, definitely go for 6 hours. 4 hours went by so fast and I was glad we got the extra time.

Fished with Captain Chris Novak and we put a pretty good hurtin on em’. We probably caught around 25 total (lost count), the biggest just shy of 5 lbs. Chris kept entertained and on our toes with his funny and whitty sense of humor. He was also very flexible and allowed us to fish with live bait and use artificials. My father-in-law and I are excited to go book the trip again next time I’m in town or next time he has family come to visit.
We had our grandson in town and he wanted to go fishing. It was a last minute decision and it was fantastic. The Captain was highly knowledgeable and engaging, and very patient with me!! I learned so much. Thank you again Margie Hausmanis
My ten year old and I went out with Captain Bill and had intense action for 4 straight hours. 48 in the boat. Several doubles and even a triple. Captain Bill knows where to find then and knows how to get us on them.

We had a great time and caught some nice fish!

We had an awesome trip with Capt. Mike. We caught fish starting with the very first cast. Captain Mike found a spot that kept us out of the cold wind and produced close to 40 fish in 4 hours including a spawned out 8 lb 4 oz giant for my son's new PB not to mention the multiple 3 to 6 LB footballs we caught. It was a trip we started with low expectations and produced one of the most memorable fishing experiences we've had. We could see the other fisherman moving and looking for fish the whole morning and we only move 10 yards in the 4 hour trip. The equipment and bait was top notch as well as the service.

We had an absolute blast out with Captain Bill!! We got out on the water in the early a.m and the water was like glass on the ride out to the first stop. We fished top-water to start and it wasnt long before a hook up and catch! We fished live bait as well and the action was impeccable. The action was on all day. We caught well over 30 fun fighting fish throughout the day and couldn't have asked for a better captain for the day. Thank you, Captain Bill. And as a bonus on the day, among others, after the boat was launched we got to see a rocket launch. That was pretty cool.
Upon arrival, our captain was waiting for us, as he had the boat prepared and ready for us to step on. He was well prepared with fishing equipment and live bait. After a 15 minute boat ride, we anchored in the water, and on the first cast, a fish was caught. After spending four hours fishing, we caught 47 widemouth bass. I highly recommend Captain Cody. It was very obvious. Cody knew the water and knew what he was doing. He was very professional kind and courteous. Thank you, Cody for a wonderful Fishing experience.
My son and I have attempted to fish Headwaters about 4 times while visiting family in the area. While the lake is beautiful we leave frustrated not catching much of anything. This time we decided to book and guide to see what we were missing. Captain Bill Goudy did a great job showing us around and putting us on the fish. We caught a ton of good fish in shiners and spent the rest of the day in artificial. We found that we didn’t see 3/4 of the lake when we came before. Overall great experience!!

Thank you, Bill. I'm glad you guys had fun. I appreciate you coming out and look forward to fishing with you again.

Thank you for the great feedback Todd! I love sharing what Central Florida bass fishing has to offer, and I’m glad you had such a positive experience. Hope to see you again!

I truly appreciate the review Champ! It’s always a great day when we’re out bass fishing in Central Florida, and I’m glad you had a fun and successful trip. Come back anytime!
