Fishing the Headwaters Capt Paul Was very knowledgeable about the headwaters, and instructed us about the best methods used to catch Bass with live bait. We caught ten Bass during our afternoon charter and had an enjoyable day. My friend and I would recommend Capt Paul for your next charter. J Cattell

If I had to sum up our Father’s Day trip in one word, it would be AMAZING.Captain Paul delivered an unforgettable experience for me and my three sons from start to finish. His patience, professionalism, and genuine passion for teaching made this more than just a fishing trip—it was a full-on masterclass on the water. He didn’t just put us on fish (which he absolutely did), he taught us how to fish—when to set the hook, how to fight the instinct to jerk too early, and how to land them the right way. That lesson alone made the day next-level.The results? Unreal. We landed 16 fish total—8 bass, 7 catfish, and a gar. Two bass were absolute studs: one at 4 lbs and another at 6 lbs. The action was steady, the fish were hungry, and Captain Paul knew exactly where to position us. He put us right on top of them.On top of that, his boat was clean, comfortable, and ran smooth all day. The weather couldn’t have been better, and the entire trip felt effortless because Captain Paul handled everything with confidence and skill.My boys left smiling, I left grateful, and we all left with memories we won’t forget. If you’re looking for a guide who combines results, patience, and top-tier knowledge, Captain Paul is the real deal.We’ll absolutely be back. Thank you for making our Father’s Day one for the books.

Paul was a great guide. He took us to where crappie should have been. Unfortunately, we did not catch anything. Talked to other fisherman and they did not catch any either.The cold weather has the crappie stunned.We are looking forward to the next fishing trip with Paul.We are looking at weather forecast to find another date to go before we go back home.We highly recommend Paul Dampier as a Guide.Lloyd and Robyn Clark

Our Sea Fishing Trip! My 15-year-old son and I had a great day out sea fishing with these guys on 15th Dec 2025. We went fishing out of the city and were so impressed with the trip that we felt we had to write a review. Paul, the captain, was very helpful and couldn't do enough to make sure that my son and I caught a lot of largemouth bass fish. We ended up catching 7 in total (and lost more!!!). The trip was not at all overcrowded. It was very relaxing and great fun! We genuinely felt Paul really wanted everyone to catch fish, and they obviously loved what they were doing. I think the trip is great value for money and well worth a trip; we will definitely be back to do this again when we are next in the area. Thank you to the Bass Online Fishing Guides for a great memorable day out, which was probably the best day of our holiday! Claud and Hank (From Katy, TX) read moreread less

If you are looking for a guide , you can’t go wrong with Captain Paul!

Best Work Trip Getaway! Captain Paul and Captain Cody took a group of my colleagues (6 total) out on Lake Okeechobee for a two day trip. Our group of six split up between two boats. This allowed us to each have enough room for casting and moving around. We fished in the general vicinity of each other and could see the fish the other group were bringing in which made the experience even better. Everyone on the trip caught multiple fish and had a million laughs. Thank you again Captain Paul and Cody! I highly recommend anyone reading this to book a trip!

We had a 11 year-old and an eight-year-old going was very patient and all I can say is the kids arms were sore they caught so many fish. I would highly recommend this for anybody going. We had four people and fit perfectly on the boat.

Grandchildren Trip Hello Fellow Anglers. My grand children 11,16, my grandson’s friend 15 and of course, myself had a blast of a time. Capt. Paul instructed the children how to cast and how to reel in the catch when on line, so as not to loose it. My grand daughter 11, caught the first and largest large mouth bass, the boys got excited for her. The boys caught several fish. Fun trip will do it again. Thank you Capt. Paul Dampier see you next time.

Slow day but still had fun Captain Paul was great. Lake water was pretty rough on our day, so we went up the Kissimmee River to fish. My adult son and I booked a trip to use some artificial lures. Paul had several different lure rigged up and ready to go. He was very easy going and great to chat with. We caught a dozen or so fish for the morning trip. We would definitely book with Paul again.

Thank you Paul! This was the best Father’s Day I’ve ever had, we caught 27 fish! I wanted to take my dad and two sons on a fishing trip for Father’s Day this year and this was perfect. We were so relaxed the whole time, Paul had everything under control and prepped for us. My boys are five and six years old. It was kid friendly, entertaining, very smooth, and we could not have planned a more perfect fishing trip! I highly recommend this to anyone seeking a professional fishing charter. We are very grateful and fortunate that we ended up with Paul and his company for our trip. Thanks again, we look forward to seeing you in the future.

Great day fishing with Captain Paul! Absolutely fantastic experience with Captain Paul! He took my son and me out for a bass fishing trip, and we ended up catching over 30 fish! Paul was incredibly patient, especially with showing us the right technique to reel them in, which made a huge difference. His knowledge of the lake and the fish was impressive—we felt totally safe and comfortable the whole time, even though it was an unfamiliar area for us. It was an unforgettable day on the water, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!

Capt. Paul Capt. Paul suggested we move to headwaters after I booked a charter on Okeechobee. “ I’ll put you on 20+ fish”. He did not disappoint. We were on the fish immediately. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I’ve been on several charters in the the last few years and the experience I had with Capt. Paul was the best I’ve had in over a decade. I drove 3-1/2 hours to go fishing with Paul and would highly recommend to anyone of any skill or beginners as well.

Soul Renewing Experience! AMAZING, STUPENDUS, TWO OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE !!! BUCKET LIST ITEM !!! The Legendary Captain Paul could not have been more helpful, patient or accommodating. We had moments of deep belly laughs and moments of solitude just taking in the beautiful sights, sounds and smells of the nature all around us. In two days we caught around 70 fish (that is only counting what made it to the boat). Many five pounders. This is my Husbands 2nd time to fish with the Legendary Captain Paul and his first experience was the same. He is very welcoming and personable and patient. I am a 65 year old woman and while a country girl am a novice fisherman. I never once felt uncomfortable and came away not so much a novice as he takes the time to teach you. We highly recommend Captain Paul based on our 2 experiences fishing with him, Once at Okeechobee this time at High Waters Lake, FL. He is the FISH WHISPERER…....LOL

What an excellent day we had with Captain Paul Dampier. One of the best guides we’ve ever been with. Caught 33 fish today and didn’t bring in 20 (52 total). He’s definitely a guide that will get you fish on. His expertise exceeds your expectations. The best of the best. We will be back.
Captain Paul gave us a great day fishing My son and I loved the experience that Captain Paul provided along with finding the best spots to catch fish. Captain Paul was friendly and helpful with my son as we filled one of our bucket list fishing trips. We look forward to fishing with Captain Paul again and would recommend him if you can follow directions and want to catch fish.

Fabulous Charter Booked 2 days with Captain Paul Dampier. My wife and I had a great time, caught plenty of fish even though one day started out in the 40’s and very windy, brr. Wife caught her personal best - 6.15 lbs. We will definitely book with him again.

We had an enjoyable 6 hour fishing trip Had an enjoyable trip fishing. The fishing was a little slow, but we still had fun. We even got to see alligators. The captain was very informative with any questions that we asked. We tried several different fishing locations but the fish just weren’t very hungry. We did catch some fish though. I would recommend Captain Paul Damper , Maniac fishing for anyone.

Bucket List Trip Success! Captain Paul Dampier was the best guide we could ever asked for (husband and wife fishing team)! He brought us to the fish, and holy fish cakes Batman! — what a fun, fantastic experience we had catching them!! We can’t go back to our old way of bass fishing in Maryland. He was patient with us, taught us the proper skills to catch the bass and was great to get to know as a person. We are already planning our next trip with Captain Paul as our guide again

Lots and Lots of Fish! Our first time fishing Headwaters Lake. Capt. Paul was great. He took us directly to a spot where we caught one bass after another. Our arms grew weary from hauling in fish after fish. Capt. Paul is very knowledgeable about the history of the Lake. Very enjoyable day. Highly recommend.

Another great trip with Captain Paul Just finished my third trip with Captain Paul at Headwaters Lake and Captain Paul did not disappoint. Even during some poor weather we still boated 90 quality fish. Captain Paul knows where to find them! While catching fish is the most important thing, Captain Paul also provides a quality boat and fishing gear along with a personality that makes the fishing even better. If you’re looking to use a guide at Headwaters Lake, you can’t go wrong with Captain Paul!

Captain Paul was Great! I booked an 8 hour trip with Capt. Paul for me and my 14 y/o son and was not disappointed. He recommended we fish at Headwaters Lake and it delivered. We caught 4 fish that were easily +4.5lbs and over 30 more of their +3lb friends! Captain Paul had us on fish with the first cast until the unseasonably warm temperatures in mid-September pushed us off the lake. He did everything from baiting the hooks to removing the fish and taking pictures. We are planning to use Capt. Paul on our next trip to central Florida. I would highly recommend him.

Great experience! If you’d like to bass fish, don’t miss this fishing opportunity. Fished at headwaters lake in Fellsmere Florida. Fished it the first time loved it went back six weeks later because it was such a great trip. We booked our trip with guide Paul Dampier and he did a great job for us. Paul put us on fish every day and we were catching 30 to 40 fish. And those were only the ones we caught. We had at least that many that we had on the line that got off. I’m already getting ready to book my next trip at headwaters lake with Paul.

Best guide ever!!! You have to use Captain Paul as your fishing guide! I took my family of four, including a 12-year-old boy and 16-year-old teenager and we all had a blast! Captain Paul was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the fish. In under six hours, we caught and landed 38 Fish, including three 7 pound bass, a 4 pound bass, as well as many others that were good sized and a blast to catch. We felt safe on the boat and Captain Paul has a friendly and fun personality that put the trip over the fun Richter scale!
We will definitely be using Captain Paul again! Thanks Captain Paul!

Captain Bio
More About Capt Paul Dampier – Florida Fishing Guide
Capt Paul Dampier is a Native who has navigated and fished Florida’s lakes, ponds, and canals most of his life. He has a strong passion for fishing, and he is well-versed in the different kinds of lures and baits that are best to use on other species, particularly for Bass fishing.
Paul grew up fishing with his dad on Lake Okeechobee for specks (also known as crappie to our northern friends) and trophy bass. Upon his dad’s passing, his older brother continued to teach Paul and build upon his love for the outdoors and fishing. Through this, he has gained extensive knowledge of what the fish eat, their seasonal patterns, and how they react to Florida’s ever-changing weather.
Aside from his love for the sport, he looks forward to teaching his guests and sharing his fishing knowledge. For him, watching beginners hook into their first fish and the old timers get their PBs is something to look forward to. He enjoys spending time with fishermen of all levels and helping them with tackle selection, fishing techniques, and strategy, while making the whole experience fun and memorable.
He will bring you to explore the diverse fisheries on one of these lakes: Lake Okeechobee, Headwaters/Fellsmere Reservoir, Stickmarsh/Farm 13, and Lake Kenansville. You’ll also get a chance to learn various fishing techniques or practice and improve your angling skills as you go Bass fishing. So hit me, and let’s go fishing!
