When searching for world-class trophy bass fishing, look no further than Headwaters Lake. We have over 20 years of experience fishing freshwater in Florida, specifically Headwaters Lake and Stick Marsh, and we will make your day on the water memorable.

You'll be fishing from a 22' bass boat equipped with the latest electronics. The boat accommodates up to 4 guests.

We not only fish Fellsmere Reservoir, but if you want a couple of days and a variety, you can agree to fish Stick Marsh, Lake Garcia, or even Kenansville Lake. Don't sweat the location; we will talk the day before and make any last-minute changes needed to adjust to wind or weather. If the meeting location changes, we will let you know ahead of time and text you the new location with your approval.

The charter will provide all the needed equipment and instruction for catching largemouth bass, both with livebait and artificial lures. However, it is important to note that you really can't effectively do both on the same trip, but we certainly can do 2 hours of this and 2 hours of that if you wish.

While enjoying the fishing, you will be surrounded by beautiful birds and wildlife and get up close and personal with the American Alligator that calls this place his home.
A fishing license is a 'must-have,' and sunglasses, sunblock, and a camera are also recommended.

    Great Day on Headwaters Lake

    3/4 Day Trip on May 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    I have been fishing for nearly 60 years, and have been out with quite a few guides….Paul was fantastic. He knew the water, and on his 2nd spot put us on fish all day. Cattails with a ledge nearby, and the fish kept reloading. Great boat and gear as well. Defnitely recommend booking with him. We will be back.

    Captain Paul is hands down the best!

    Half Day Trip on April 6, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had such a great time! He is knowledgeable and personable. He has a great hony hole! My 13 year old and my 17 turning 18 had the best time ever. My 17 yo has never been on a boat or caught a fish. (Not on bread in retention pond) we are so greatful to have these memories to share with the world and keep for ourselves. If your looking for a family friendly charter we'll then Paul is your guy. My favorite part was How excited Paul gets! You can tell he is compassionate about fishing and having good people to share his knowledge with! We will definitely be going again!

    25 fish caught in four hours!!!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 2, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    What an experience the captain was phenomenal knew exactly where to go put us on fish right away was very helpful with the kids. We had a 11 year-old and an eight-year-old going was very patient and all I can say is the kids arms were sore they caught so many fish. I would highly recommend this for anybody going. We had four people and fit perfectly on the boat.
