Thanks for the suggestions everybody. Sincerely appreciate the interaction. Looks like we have a lot of video to shoot this week. We have a big temp drop this week along with shifting winds so it will be interesting out there.
Hey Donny, yes there are deep water areas. There is also super clean and clear shallows. A bit tough to fish but very cool to see. As much as we like to catch fish both Dave and I really like all the cool things about this lake you get to see when you slow down and take the time to look around.
Yeah I like your video I was wondering about that Southeast corner it's tough to get back to the eska now is there something I'm not doing right or just have to blast through those little islands you definitely can get a messed up around there looks like good fishing
Hey Roy, Should have the next video up by tomorrow evening and it happens to cover the far south east deep pond. It is tough to get to it you don't know where the canals are that get you there. Definitely some very fishy waters back there.
I will be heading over there second week of May. I will be by myself. Would love to hook up with one of you. I have a Trx 20 Triton Bass boat. I would rather not loose a prop!
Hi Lenny, Please follow the information for navigating Headwaters in our earlier videos. Stop by the bait shop and say hello, we would be delighted to meet you. Barry and I are usually there on Thursdays at 4PM. We hope you have a great week on the lake...keep us posted. Be safe and fish well!
@@BeyondHeadwaters Thanks for the reply. Your map videos were the best. I have printed out the maps from FWC and have a good idea where I want to fish - thanks to you guys. I’ll be on the water May 18, 19 & 20th. Unfortunately I will be towing my boat back to NH Thursday morning so I’ll miss you guys on Thursday. My boat comes back down in Nov, and somewhere around there I’ll stop in to see you guys. In the meantime, keep up the good work, I look forward to your videos every week!
I guess this opening for the E/W canal was blocked when I was there the other day lol cause when I took a right out of the N/S canal I was in some thick submerged grass...and my lowrance showed me on dry ground lol. Good thing I had google maps on my phone
I would like you to continue to explore the far West canal at the Pump House, going South, all the way to Egan Lake, at the very Southern embankment. Also, I would like you to explore the far, far, East side of the Lake, way East of the North/South Canal (the S - Canal) all the way to the far Eastern embankment. Thank you.
Hey Brian, Thanks for the comment. Absolutely, we will be putting that area through the lens. Hoping this fall wind will settle down. The lake looks better when it's calm and it makes it a bit easier to film. Good fishing!
That is a tough question. Most head to the very south west to Egan. There are some very nice areas to the south east of the S Canal. Most folks have not fished even close to 10 percent of the lake. Good Fishing and thanks for the question.
Great question. Dave and I have fallen into the same trap for the most part although we have done some exploring. The north is duck hunting grounds and with the season recently being open we have not ventured that direction but when it is closed I think it would be a good area to cover. Appreciate the question. Good Fishing!
@@BeyondHeadwaters I fished the northeast corner on day out of a kayak. There are a bunch of small grass islands over there with some deep water pockets. Ended up in a shallow bay with 3 other local kids fishing out of a kayak. For about 45 min. Fished turned on and all of us where catching big fish on flukes and swim baits. Heading back to the kayak launch the wind began to blow and fish were stacked up on the down wind side of small grass islands. I was crushing em on horny toads and swim baits. Great memory.
@@davidredding7694 that's awesome. That is an area on our list to cover. The wind blown banks and cover do provide some good opportunities for sure. Appreciate the conversation. Good fishing!
@@BeyondHeadwaters yes fishing from a kayak is challenging there. I would always plan my day by heading to the wind ward side of reservoir in morning so that the wind would push me toward launch in evening.
Headwaters has few stumps and hazards. Stick to the main canals and channels until you become familiar with the lake. Be careful when running across (away from main canals) from section to section as you may run into shallow soft bottom. You'll be fine, enjoy the lake and get some fish. We will be posting a new video on how to navigate the lake from top to bottom in the next day or two. This video will be really helpful.
U are doing a great service for everyone, also I keep hearing about lake Keansville(wrong spelling), have u fished it?, it's in that area ? Also do u get cell phone service at Headwaters?
Hey JM We have not done any fishing in the Kenansville area. I know a lot of the airboaters will run that direction. You can't get there from over this way you have to trailer your boat over to the Kenansville area to launch. As far as cell signal, yes you can get signal on the lake. Thanks for the comment. Good Fishing!
Thanks for all the videos first off but as I watched them this has been bugging me. Your voice is very familiar and with the name Barry I think I worked with you years ago at WD. I might be mistaken but it sure is familiar to me.
One in the same Terry. We fished the islands in the river last time we got together. You were using a mirrolure and out fished me for trout.. Need to meet up at the lake when you get time.
@@BeyondHeadwaters I knew that was you! The lure was a Yo Zuri, I remember it well. Yes I'd like to take you up on fishing the lake with you sometime. zaracrazy@aol.com
Outstanding. Look like good fishing everwhere
You got that right! Its the lake with a million good looking spots. Thanks for watching.
Appreciate the hard work out there fellas!
Another great video! Keep it up!!
Thanx for the info. Keep them coming.
Sure thing Leslie. Appreciate the comment. Good Fishing!

Would love to see Egan lake that south west corner you're talking about. Videos are awesome!
Egan is a for sure video. That whole area is a deserving of quite a few videos to do it justice. Thanks for the comment. Tight Lines!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much! Sorry for the delay in responding. Missed your comment somehow. Hope you are getting out and loading up. Good Fishing!
The chair your sitting on while running the boat appears to be portable.
Is there a brand name for it?
Id like one for my jon boat.
Thanks.
Yeah I was wondering about that
Sorry Roy, did I miss your question? What were you wondering about?
How about some footage of the NW corner in Roland’s area and kayak launch area
We'll be working on that. Thanks Tony
since I'm first how bout way down to the south east...would be great is there any deep water down there ... thanks for the informative videos....

@@BeyondHeadwaters thank you can't wait to get down there
Make a good map with paths how to run the lake and you should do stick marsh 13 too, so noone hits a stump, ill buy one

Can you show the far south east corner ... I tried to get there last week but it looked like the hydrilla was matted over ... Thanks Ralph
South east as in east side of S Canal or south east Egan?
@@BeyondHeadwaters south East by Egan...
I guess this opening for the E/W canal was blocked when I was there the other day lol cause when I took a right out of the N/S canal I was in some thick submerged grass...and my lowrance showed me on dry ground lol. Good thing I had google maps on my phone
You never know what the lake is going to throw at you. I use the fishing points app. Lots of useful info as well as the map.
What about the deep wholes with rock piles
It's on the list of videos to do. Thanks for your comments.
I'd like to see the area of deep ZigZag cutouts. The area south of the E-W and before the 45 SW cut. Thanks
For sure! We want to cover it all so it is added to the list. Thanks for the comment. Good Fishing!

What part of the lake is the LEAST fished
That is a tough question. Most head to the very south west to Egan. There are some very nice areas to the south east of the S Canal. Most folks have not fished even close to 10 percent of the lake. Good Fishing and thanks for the question.
Seems like everyone likes to go south. How is north from the pump house area fishing?
Yes I was wondering the same thing.
Great question. Dave and I have fallen into the same trap for the most part although we have done some exploring. The north is duck hunting grounds and with the season recently being open we have not ventured that direction but when it is closed I think it would be a good area to cover. Appreciate the question.

What is the water temp down there now?
While at the Outdoors Adventures bait and tackle today it was reported that water temps were at 72. Thanks for your questions.
Hey gang.
Ive heard about a bunch of stumps and underwater hazards. Can you give us some points where they are so we don't hit the darn things
