Set against the backdrop of the stunning Headwaters Lake, two avid anglers embarked on a thrilling 6-hour adventure with Captain Bill at the helm. They began their journey exploring the pristine waters near the cypress trees lining the eastern shore. Armed with topwater frogs and spinnerbaits, they cast their lines into the shallow waters, enticing explosive strikes from aggressive bass hiding in the shadows. Captain Bill guided them to the submerged brush piles scattered across the lake. Here, they switched to Texas-rigged plastic worms and swimbaits, carefully working the structure to coax out the lunker bass lurking below. Their persistence paid off when one angler hooked into a monstrous bass weighing an astonishing 10.2 pounds! The adrenaline-fueled battle had them on the edge of their seats as they fought to land the trophy fish. Not content to rest on their laurels, they continued their journey, exploring the open water near the dam. Here, they found schools of hungry bass feeding on baitfish. Using crankbaits and jerkbaits, they added several more quality fish to their tally, including several in the 5-8 pound range. As the morning drew to a close, the anglers reluctantly bid farewell to Headwaters Lake, their hearts still racing from the adrenaline-pumping battles and their minds filled with memories of trophy bass. With plans already in place for their next adventure, they knew that Headwaters Lake would forever hold a special place in their angling journey.

Bass is catch and release at this time at headwaters lake, but the fishing and catching was fun. If you know that going in, and don't have your heart set on bringing home dinner, this is the place to book.

Try out the Headwaters / Stick Marsh Reservoir. It's unique fishery, with changing conditions all the time and a great number of big bass.

This was our first time on Fellsmere, and glad we chose to go with a guide. Very shallow in areas and only certain places you can run. Our guide, Fish Hand Guide Service, knew the lake very well.

Book with a captain who knows the body of water you want to fish. There is no substitute for experience and local knowledge. It's worth the money when you are putting fish in the boat!

The best bass trip I've ever had in Florida. One trip to Deland on Lake Woodruff was very good, but Fellsmere is "the Bomb". (As a senior citizen, I understand that something very good is called the bomb.) Have been to Palatka a couple of times to watch the pro's fish. In 2019, Rick Clunn won the tournament. He is now 75, so don't give up!

We hoped to get some action on top water bite but fish werenโ€™t interested. Take your wife and kids and learn how to fish with live wild shiners. So cool watching shiners react to bass before the bite. Lots of action.
