Ready to cast a line in Crystal River? Nature Waters Fishing Charters will make it happen! With Captain Brian at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Redfish, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, Sheepshead, and whatever else takes the bait.
On the day of your trip, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
Capt. Brian is happy to have kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!
You'll be welcome aboard a 24' Center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask, and your captain can tell you more.
It's never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation; just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
