Your $500 trip includes everything you need - rods, reels, tackle, ice, and drinks. No need to lug your gear or worry about forgetting something; we've thought of it all.

Tactics and Terrain

Headwaters Lake is a bass angler's playground. We'll likely start the day throwing topwater lures around lily pads and grass mats - there's nothing like the excitement of a big bass blowing up on your bait. As the sun climbs, we'll switch to soft plastics, working the edges of vegetation and any submerged structure we find. Your guide might have you flipping and pitching into heavy cover one minute, then finesse fishing with a drop shot the next. It's all about adapting to what the fish want that day. The lake's diverse habitat, from shallow flats to deeper channels, means we can always find active fish. Keep an eye out for gators sunning themselves - they're part of the Florida fishing experience!

What's Biting

Largemouth bass are the stars of the show at Headwaters Lake. These Florida-strain bucketmouths grow big and mean in these nutrient-rich waters. It's not uncommon to hook into 5+ pounders, with the potential for true giants in the 8-10 pound class. The lake record is over 13 pounds, so who knows - you might just be the one to break it! Spring and fall are prime times for numbers and size, but the fishing is solid year-round. In the warmer months, we'll focus on early mornings and evenings when the big girls are most active. During winter, midday can produce some sluggish but hefty bass looking for an easy meal.

While we're primarily after largemouth, don't be surprised if you hook into some bonus species. The lake also holds some chunky bluegill and crappie that might decide to crash the party. They're a fun change of pace and tasty if you're looking to take home a meal.
