This was a blast to watch. The wife and I are heading over there from Orlando tomorrow for the first time. This is a bucket list trip I've been wanting to do for years now. But, it's a first for me, and it sounds like navigating that are can be a nail biter. I know my experience on Apopka was miserable because of how shallow that lake is, and you don't know if you're in 6ft of water or 6", which makes it impossible (or extremely dangerous) to be up on plane. If you're still reading these comments you got any tips? I'd like to fish this same area at some point prior to heading back home.

I even go far past that square pond. There is so many fish in those lakes.

Great video. I've been in Palm Bay for a year and half now and i still haven't made it out to Headwaters yet. It seems like there's always blockages and since i don't know the lake I want to get stuck out there by myself.

I understand. It’s not to bad. But there always some risks. I was pretty far south in this video. You can stay more North and be okay. If the S-canal has islands floating, that is when things can become risky. If you see too much grass/islands there. Turnaround

Wish that side still looked like that. All the trees are below water level now and not as many it seems

Some of the big storms have knocked a lot of those trees down underwater.

Love to check out Three Forks but need a mud boat!
@NormGfishing9 ай бұрын
Three Forks is an awesome place. Some people take outboards. But, I would only recommend a mud boat there due to all the hazards under water 👍

Awesome video!! We just went to headwaters today with our new boat after doing a guided tour with Roland Martin. Does the square pond have a ton of hydrilla now in end of June?
@JayJayDobro7 ай бұрын
I followed your directions to the square pond and had no trouble finding it ,except for the blockages in the 45 and the east west canals, yesterday 3/19. However I was looking forward to fishing the trees BUT they where all gone...NO TREES at all there anymore
@NormGfishing7 ай бұрын
Yes. The trees are under the water now. most of the trees have fell apart by the storms.

Norm what time of year did you tape this. Recently or a while ago
@NormGfishing9 ай бұрын
These videos were mixed bag. Not recent. Best time for rattle traps in the wood will be March through December. Shiners on the south side is anytime of the year.
