What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Fellsmere, Florida for the first time?

The best bass trip I've ever had in Florida. One trip to Deland on Lake Woodruff was very good, but Fellsmere is "the Bomb". (As a senior citizen, I understand that something very good is called the bomb.) Have been to Palatka a couple of times to watch the pro's fish. In 2019, Rick Clunn won the tournament. He is now 75, so don't give up!

We hoped to get some action on top water bite but fish weren’t interested. Take your wife and kids and learn how to fish with live wild shiners. So cool watching shiners react to bass before the bite. Lots of action.

Book a trip with Fish Hands. Dan is great. Very helpful and professional. Made sure we caught some quality fish.

Book with a captain who knows the body of water you want to fish. There is no substitute for experience and local knowledge. It's worth the money when you are putting fish in the boat!

Go with a fishing guide and make sure he knows that you have never fished before.
