Spend the day with Headwaters Big Bass Guide and find out what the fishing in Fellsmere is all about!
Largemouth Bass and more could be biting, depending on when you go. During the trip, you might be spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Trips with Headwaters Big Bass Guide are open to the whole family, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Your excursion begins aboard a 23’ Avid center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Headwaters Big Bass Guide is just a click away.

All 3 of the people in our party caught their personal-best bass on our trip with Captain Mike. He was very knowledgeable of Headwaters lake, his gear and boat were excellent, and he put us on tons of fish both days we were with him. He was very helpful and patient with my 10 year old son as well. I would definitely recommend Captain Mike.

We had a great experience at Headwaters with Captain Mike. My son caught his PB bass and Mike spent much of the morning explaining techniques and strategy with my son. We had an awesome trip and would highly recommend Captain Mike. He exceeded our expectations. We hauled in a dozen fish on the morning charter.

Capt. Mike is an extremely gracious and knowledgeable fishermen in this area. He put me on big bass right away, and several more as the day progressed. I would give highest recommendations for anyone looking to fish largemouth in the Headwaters/ Stick Marsh area.

Booked a 6hr charter with Mike for my buddy and I! It was a blast. He took us to great spots and we learned a lot from him. Not only was it my first charter but got myself a 9lb bass!! Would recommend Mike 10/10 as it was a great time on the lake!
