The long wait ended about five weeks ago with the opening of the 10.000 acre Headwaters lake.
I suppose the name is associated with its proximity to the Saint john.
Its being billed as one of the top bass lakes in the country, and the crowd sizes from opening day have been very large. Quite a few videos are already showing up on Youtube about it.
Its on the same road as Stickmarsh, but about a mile before you get to that lake.
While ive been there quite a few times since it opened, i havent yet attempted to fish there.
With my age i need time to launch and with all those bass guys i feel its best to wait awhile for that. Ive talked with a few fish and wildlife people ive seen there and they told me there are a few Crappie fishermen mixed in but not many as yet.
From what i see and hear on the videos it should be a great spot especially for jigging on brush and around trees. The parking lots at both Stickmarsh and Garcia are almost empty since this lake opened.
