- Is the S Canal blocked in Headwaters Lake? That is a question everyone wonders when going fishing at Headwaters Lake in Fellsmere Fl. The S Canal is how you gain access to the fishing grounds of the Fellsmere reservoir, lake Egan, and the rest of the fishable waters at Headwaters. In this episode we run the S canal and talk about the different breakpoints and how to navigate the canal if it is blocked.

Just found your channel and subscribed. Making a 1200 mile trip to the lake this week. Your video is a great resource. Thanks!
These videos are great!)
Nice update. I haven't tried to run through the eastern area yet. It is crazy how much vegetation blows into the S-canal. You are absolutely correct, there are fish EVERYWHERE!
Just posted a contour map video of the lake that should help give you a better look at what's going on. check it out when you get time. Thanks for your comment as well they mean a lot. Good Fishing Always.
Thank you for your videos. Highly informative and made our first trip into Headwaters seemless.
Good to hear you got some value from our videos. We will continue to break down the lake and give as much info as possible about everything Headwaters. Thanks for the comment much appreciated.
Enjoy your videos

New subscriber and recently moved to Vero Beach luckily I'm only about a half hour from the boat ramp there. So glad I found your channel studying your videos makes me more confident I will know where to go when I fish this place this week. Hope to see y'all around!
Welcome to the area! Stop in and see pat at outdoor adventures bait and tackle about the new maps he has. The guy that created them did a bang up job on them and really give you a great way to plan out spots to hit for the day. If you get down there to the shop let Pat know we sent you. Thanks and good fishing always.
Have you seen any tilapia beds out there, I just got a boat, but have had no luck finding a place to bowfish for them with the boat yet, you need shallow lake edges, great videos!
The Tilapia are all over the lake. Just cruise the banks and you will find the beds. 3 forks is loaded with them as well.
@@BeyondHeadwaters Thanks, three forks is where I go and get them from the bank, I havent had any luck finding them from the boat, I have not tried much though do to engine problems lol I might try Headwaters tomorrow.
Personally I would stick to 3 forks. Make sure you are wearing a good pair of polarized glasses. Canal 40 is loaded with beds on the North side and the North South canal from the ramp to 40 is full of fish.
@@BeyondHeadwaters Canal 40 is at three forks? I do not see it labeled on any map, thanks!
40 is the east west canal you run into when you leave the ramp and run south. It is the canal that takes you to the lakes. The north side of the canal is full of beds.
Nice video
Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate your viewing time. Fish well!
Just found your channel.... excellent job!!... my sister lives in Palm Bay,, im from NH and have watched them putting the lake together for several years.... hope to fish it soon... thank you for the info....
Hey JB thanks for checking out our channel. Even though it is in the low 40's here this morning it has to be better than NH! You need to get down here and hit the lake. They did an incredible job putting this fishery together. Take the best parts of every lake you have ever fished and put them all into one lake and you get Headwaters. Tell your sister to make room , you got 10 pounders to catch.
@@BeyondHeadwaters i will be down there soon... i was there in Oct but didnt fish.. we just had a snow storm here..grrrrr...lol.. we dont start Bass fishing up here till April... again, thank you for the info.... ~tight lines~
Awesome
One thing to tell people would be pass the small boats at higher speeds...I’m out there in a 12 ft johnboat. A lot of people seem to slow down trying to be courteous and creep by, but this jacks up their wake and it can get sketchy for such a small boat in the main canal...faster speed = smaller wake= easy times. See you out there!
Really nice. Thanks for sharing.
Hey George, Thanks for feedback we truly appreciate it. Good Fishing Always!
Another great video! Can't wait to see the others coming up!! This makes so much safer and I feel more confident , especially coming all the way from Ohio!!
Hey Bret Just posted a contour map video today that will help as well. Thanks for your comment truly appreciated.
Thank you Dave. I m coming in with a Gheenoe is why I asked. I’ll be there in 2 weeks.
You don't have to run to the far south-west corner...there is plenty of good fishing all over this lake....(be mindful of the potential S canal blockages) I hope you have an awesome time during your trip, keep us posted. Tight Lines Bro
How was your Headwaters trip???
Thanks for doing this. Plan on coming down in March with my 14 Jon.
Great boat for the lake. There are lot of places you can get into that the bass boats can't or won't go. That's why I have a 15ft Jon. You will have a great time. Thanks for jumping into the conversation.
Awesome video Dave. Was there yesterday with all the duck hunters on opening day. But we went to a new spot East of the S canal and found a short stretch of a canal that was just holding bass in it. Went to a few other spots, but didn't produce as good as the short canal.
Try to very end of the S Canal as well. Either side. I usually fish the east side and fish all the pockets I can find. They are definitely there.
Great video friend👏👏👏👏🦈 like
Thanks for the feedback . Greatly appreciated! Good Fishing!
How many miles is it from the ramps to the east west canal?
It's a three-mile run to the end of the S canal where you turn right (west) onto the east-west canal. There is an opening in the S canal about 2.4 miles south where you can cut through (diagonally) towards the east-west channel. Be careful there a lot of "stuff" out there. If you decide to cut through I would take a south/ south-west course. I suggest if you are not familiar with the lake, take the 3 miles trip to the end and make the right turn (west) to the east-west canal. Hope this helps.
Is this brackish water?
This is a large freshwater man-made lake (reservoir) located near Fellesmere, Florida . Its 10,000 acres of land previously used for agriculture. Hope this helps, thanks for the comment/question.
Great info! Thanks so much for doing these videos. My son and I are coming down from North Carolina the week of December 7th. What baits should we stock up on for the trip?
Hey Randy, You are going to have a great time. I will be doing a video next week covering some of the top baits to use in the lake and will be uploaded before your trip down so keep an eye out for it.
Topwater, lipless crankbaits, a variety of soft plastics like swimbaits, worms and flukes. Punching/flipping is very effective also.
How was your trip??
How is the hydrilla with the outboard?
Not bad for the larger horsepower motors. I am currently running a ten HP until the new 25 comes in and it can get wrapped around the prop which has to be cleared.
