Local Species Insights: Spotted Bass

While we primarily target largemouth bass in Headwaters Lake, spotted bass also inhabit these waters. These powerful gamefish are often found around similar structure as their largemouth cousins but can present a different fighting style when hooked. Spotted bass in Fellsmere respond well to both artificial lures and live bait presentations, particularly when worked around submerged vegetation and woody structure.

The best approach for these fish combines methodical casting to likely holding areas with patience and precise presentations. During spring months like March, bass in Headwaters Lake can be particularly active as they prepare for spawning activities, making it an excellent time to target them along shallow structure edges.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

For your day on Headwaters Lake, wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather and bring sun protection including a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 2 guests and includes all necessary fishing equipment, though experienced anglers are welcome to bring favorite rods and tackle if preferred.

Morning trips typically offer the most productive fishing conditions, but afternoon outings like this one can be equally rewarding, especially after weather fronts have passed. Guide Mike Boyles provides bottled water on board, but feel free to bring additional beverages or snacks for your comfort during the 4-hour fishing experience.
