Exclusive Fellsmere Charters gives you the best chance at your giant trophy bass of a lifetime! Since the beginning, the original guide service has operated fishing trips on Headwaters Lake, also known as Fellsmere Reservoir. Don’t take the chance; we offer the best trips because of our experience and knowledge of the fishery.

There’s enough room on the boats for up to 4 anglers to go fishing. The boats you’ll be fishing from are 20’. It has everything you’ll need for catching fish at the lake or shallow waters.

We specialize in bass fishing with artificial lures but are happy to use live bait if you prefer. The headwaters of Fellsmere are in the 4 to 8-foot range and are one of the best places with 10 to 20 feet of water. Let the captain know which techniques you’d like to master, and he’ll adjust everything.

It’s one of the top 5 trophy Bass locations worldwide, making it worth a trip. Since you are the focus for the day, all trips are private. There’s no one else on the boat, and you can choose between a morning or an afternoon adventure.

This is a premier guide service, and the captain provides quality equipment and bottled water. We welcome vets, handicapped anglers, ladies, couples, and especially kids.

Fellsmere Lake Charters looks forward to fishing with you!

6 Hour Trip on August 27, 20252 adults
We had an absolute blast out with Captain Bill!! We got out on the water in the early a.m and the water was like glass on the ride out to the first stop. We fished top-water to start and it wasnt long before a hook up and catch! We fished live bait as well and the action was impeccable. The action was on all day. We caught well over 30 fun fighting fish throughout the day and couldn't have asked for a better captain for the day. Thank you, Captain Bill. And as a bonus on the day, among others, after the boat was launched we got to see a rocket launch. That was pretty cool.

Incredible Fishing Trip with Bill Goudy Jr.!
on March 31, 2025
I had an amazing time fishing with Bill Goudy Jr. at Headwaters Lake & Fellsmere Reservoir! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Bill is a true professional—knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about fishing. He knew exactly where to find the fish, and his tips and guidance made a huge difference. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I caught some incredible bass and had a blast the entire time. Whether you're an experienced angler or just starting out, this trip is a must! I highly recommend Bill Goudy Jr. and will definitely be back for another trip. 🎣🔥

Great Trip. Windy and cold
6 Hour Trip on March 11, 20252 adults
We had an awesome trip with Capt. Mike. We caught fish starting with the very first cast. Captain Mike found a spot that kept us out of the cold wind and produced close to 40 fish in 4 hours including a spawned out 8 lb 4 oz giant for my son's new PB not to mention the multiple 3 to 6 LB footballs we caught. It was a trip we started with low expectations and produced one of the most memorable fishing experiences we've had. We could see the other fisherman moving and looking for fish the whole morning and we only move 10 yards in the 4 hour trip. The equipment and bait was top notch as well as the service.

Perfect Day On The Lake
4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 28, 20252 adults
Upon arrival, our captain was waiting for us, as he had the boat prepared and ready for us to step on. He was well prepared with fishing equipment and live bait. After a 15 minute boat ride, we anchored in the water, and on the first cast, a fish was caught. After spending four hours fishing, we caught 47 widemouth bass. I highly recommend Captain Cody. It was very obvious. Cody knew the water and knew what he was doing. He was very professional kind and courteous. Thank you, Cody for a wonderful Fishing experience.

Great Trip with Captain Mike
4 Hour Trip (AM) on October 12, 20252 adults
We had a great trip with Capt. Mike. His equipment and knowledge of the water was fantastic. Fishing was steady. Everything you could ask for in a charter. It was like fishing with friends instead of just a charter trip. Capt. Mike will be my go-to from here on. Already looking forward to my next trip.
