Spend the day with Capt. Colton of Vero Beach Fishing Charters on Headwaters Lake and let them show you what makes the fishing in Fellsmere so memorable!

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Colton also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. You're free to take home some of the fish you catch within the legal limit.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!

Capt. Colton runs a 22' Triton bay boat with space for 4 adults or 5 with children. It comes with fighting chairs and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

You will need to get a state fishing license before the trip if you are 16 and over. 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.

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Incredible Day of Bass Fishing at Headwaters Lake!

    on March 31, 2025

    Our trip with Colton Hester of Vero Beach Fishing Charters was nothing short of amazing. Headwaters Lake is a hidden gem, and Colton knew exactly how to make the most of it. From the moment we launched, it was clear we were in great hands. Colton was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly dialed in on where the fish were biting. We caught bass after bass all day long—several of them were real quality fish! Colton provided top-tier gear, great techniques, and valuable insight that helped us land more fish and have a great time doing it. Whether it was working topwater lures at sunrise or flipping jigs into cover, the action was non-stop. The boat was spacious, clean, and set up perfectly for a comfortable day on the water. But more than that, Colton made the experience relaxed and fun. He was professional yet laid-back, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a memorable trip.
