Nonstop Action & Trophy Bass Fishing on Headwaters Lake, Fellsmere
What a day we had out on Headwaters Lake in Fellsmere, Florida! I took Paul, Bob, and Preston on a Bass Fishing in Fellsmere FL | 4 HR Private Trip with One Cast Away: Bass Professional Guide Service, and the action was nonstop. April is prime time for bass fishing here, as the warming waters have the fish feeding aggressively. We met up at the lake at 8 AM and wasted no time getting our lines in the water. With my top-of-the-line gear and years of experience guiding on these waters, I knew exactly where to target the big Largemouth Black Bass and Bowfin. We covered different parts of the lake, using a mix of bowfishing, fly fishing, baitcasting, and light tackle setups to give us the best chance at finding the fish. It wasn't long before the rods started bending - Paul hooked into a real nice Largemouth that put up one heck of a fight. Bob was next, setting the hook hard on a feisty Bowfin that had him working to get it in the boat. The action stayed strong all day, and we landed fish after fish, filling the cooler with some real quality bass and exotic bowfin. I've been guiding here for over a decade, and days like this are why I love what I do. If you're looking to experience the best bass fishing that Fellsmere, Florida has to offer, look no further than One Cast Away: Bass Professional Guide Service. Our Bass Fishing in Fellsmere FL | 4 HR Private Trip gives you the chance to chase trophy Largemouth and other exciting species in some of the Sunshine State's most productive and picturesque waters. Whether you're a seasoned bass pro or just getting into the sport, I'll make sure you have an unforgettable day on the water. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip today and let's go catch some big bass!

Hooked on Headwaters: An Exhilarating Bass Fishing Adventure
What a day out on the water we had with Paul and the crew in West Brevard, Florida! For anyone looking to get in on some world-class bass fishing, the Headwaters Lake is the place to be. April is prime time for big bass around these parts, and the conditions were perfect - clear skies and calm waters made for an ideal day on the lake. We started off with a mix of techniques, trying out bow fishing, fly fishing, bait casting, and light tackle to see what the bass were responding to. It didn't take long before the action picked up, and Paul was into his first fish, a chunky Largemouth black bass that put up one heck of a fight. The rest of the crew soon followed, with everyone getting in on the action. We found the bass were really dialed into the baitfish, so the live bait and fly fishing were producing best. Throughout the day, we kept the rods bent and the smiles wide. It was just an all-around great time, not only reeling in some quality bass, but enjoying the beautiful surroundings and sharing laughs with good company. That's what these guided trips are all about - the thrill of the catch, paired with the experience of being out on the water in such a serene setting. If you're looking to book an unforgettable bass fishing adventure in West Brevard, Florida, I can't recommend the Bass Fishing in Fellsmere FL | 4 HR Private Trip with One Cast Away: Bass Professional Guide Service enough.

Tori and I finally got back to Maryland today. I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the day of fishing we spent with you. It really was the highlight of our trip. Tori has talked about it every day. We fished several other places during our time in Florida but nothing compared to the fabulous time we had with you. Thank you so much.

Awesome guide service….

Awesome two days fishing on the Headwaters! He put us on the bass both days. Will fish with him any day!

I never thought it possible to surpass the October day of a year ago at Stickmarsh when Jim Freeman and I landed 60 tremendous bass. We both caught personal records that day. Well it happened Friday when Roger Hutchison and I landed 60 healthy Stickmarsh lunkers. With numerous bass over 6 lbs and one passing the 9 lb. mark, we both set personal records. With 42 boated by 12 noon it was quite a day. Even with the heavy wind on Saturday we landed 20 hefty ones. Thanks again for my best day on the water. Of course I will return next year in pursuit of that elusive 10 pounder. Thanks for your great hospitality.

I really enjoy going fishing with Onecastaway’s Capt. Dean Herdman . He really knows where the fish are and what to use to get them to hit. Going out with Dean is not like a typical customer / Capt. relationship, it’s more like fishing with an old friend you haven’t seen for a while. Deans’ knowledge of the lakes we’ve fished, his skill to consistently put you onto Big Bass, coupled with his sense of humor and professionalism always make for an excellent experience. I highly recommend taking a guided fishing trip with Bass Professional Guide Service.

Capt. Dean Herdman knows large-mouth bass. Period. He knows the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 and he knows what it takes to boat the big ones. For the past 6 years me, my dad, my wife, and my neighbors have had the experience of a-lifetime fishing with Capt. Dean. Please don’t get me wrong, we spent our lives bass fishing on the Colorado River, but the number of huge bass we catch with Capt. Dean is incredible! If you want to learn about the Stick Marsh/Farm 13, and catch some quality fish, Capt. Dean is the guide you want to go with. He knows the patterns of the fish, and what they are biting on. We have had the amazing pleasure of seeing lots of wildlife, and we even saw a cougar for a few seconds (WOW!) It’s not a complete trip to central Florida without spending time fishing with Dean.
