Fellsmere's bass waters offer the kind of variety that keeps things interesting all day long.

The 6-hour window gives you enough time to really get into a rhythm and try different approaches as conditions change throughout the day. Your guide will read the water and weather, adjusting tactics whether that means flipping into heavy cover, working topwater during the morning bite, or switching to deeper presentations when the sun gets high. The beauty of this trip is the personalized attention – with just 1-2 anglers, you get hands-on instruction and plenty of opportunities to dial in your technique. Don't worry if you're not an expert; these guides love teaching and will have you throwing lures with confidence.
The bass fishing around Fellsmere responds well to a mix of approaches, and your guide will have the right arsenal ready. Expect to throw everything from Texas-rigged soft plastics for working through vegetation to crankbaits for covering water efficiently. Topwater action can be phenomenal during the early morning hours, with bass exploding on poppers and walking baits in the shallows. As the day progresses, you might switch to spinnerbaits around structure or flip jigs into thick cover where the big girls like to hide. The guide provides all the gear, but they're also happy to let you bring your own rods if you've got favorites. They'll have tackle boxes loaded with the specific baits that produce in these waters – local knowledge that can make all the difference between a good day and an amazing one. The boat setup is designed for serious bass fishing, with all the electronics and positioning tools to keep you on productive water.
Largemouth bass are the main attraction in Fellsmere's waters, and for good reason. These aggressive predators thrive in the diverse habitat, from weedy shallows to deeper drop-offs. Florida largemouth grow fast and fight hard, with fish in the 3-5 pound range common and bigger specimens always possible. They're most active during cooler parts of the day – early morning and late afternoon – but can be coaxed into biting throughout the day with the right presentation. What makes catching largemouth here so satisfying is their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. They'll jump, shake their heads, and make powerful runs toward cover. Spring and fall offer peak action, but Florida's year-round growing season means there's always something happening.
Smallmouth bass add a different dimension to the fishing experience in this area. While less common than their largemouth cousins, smallies are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting freshwater fish you'll encounter. They prefer rocky areas and current breaks, and when you hook one, get ready for a battle. Smallmouth typically run smaller than largemouth – a 2-3 pound smallie is a solid fish – but they make up for it with pure determination. They love cooler water and are often most active during spring and fall transitions. The key to targeting smallmouth is precision casting around structure and being ready for their lightning-fast strikes. Once hooked, they'll use every trick in the book to throw your lure, making them a favorite among anglers who appreciate technical fishing and hard fights.
This extended half-day trip hits the sweet spot for bass anglers who want serious fishing time without committing to a full day on the water. Six hours gives you the chance to experience different fishing scenarios as conditions change, learn new techniques, and put some quality fish in the boat. With all gear included and expert guidance, you can focus on what matters most – getting better at bass fishing and enjoying the pursuit. The $500 rate for up to 2 anglers makes it a great value, especially considering you're getting personalized instruction on some of Florida's top bass waters. Keep in mind that deposits are non-refundable, so be sure about your dates before booking. Whether you're looking to improve your skills, introduce someone to bass fishing, or just get away from it all for a day on the water, this Fellsmere bass fishing experience delivers the goods.

Perfect for accessing the shallow covers and deeper structures where the big bass hide in these Central Florida waters.
Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouth bass are the stars of our Fellsmere waters, and for good reason. These green giants typically run 12-24 inches and can push 4-6 pounds in our productive lakes. They love shallow, weedy areas with plenty of cover - think fallen trees, grass lines, and boat docks. Spring through fall offers the best action, especially early morning and evening when they're actively feeding. What keeps anglers coming back is that explosive strike and the fight they put up once hooked. They'll jump, shake, and use every trick to throw your hook. The meat's pretty good eating too when caught from clean water. Here's a local secret: throw something red when the bite gets tough. Bass around here have a thing for red lures, especially during spawn season when they get aggressive.
Micropterus DolomieuSmallmouth bass aren't as common in Florida waters as their largemouth cousins, but when you find them, they're pure gold. These bronze fighters average 12-16 inches and pack serious punch for their size. They love clear water with rocky bottoms and structure like fallen trees or ledges. Spring and fall are prime time when they move shallow, but summer finds them deeper in cooler water. What makes smallmouths special is their fight - pound for pound, they're the scrappiest bass you'll hook. They jump, run, and never give up easy. The meat is firm and tasty too, with a clean flavor that's hard to beat. My go-to trick? Use smaller baits than you think - a 3-inch soft plastic on a light jighead works magic when bigger lures get ignored.
