Experience the iconic flats fishing in Florida! Picture yourself surrounded by mangrove islands and shallow crystal clear grass flats. These prime locations are home to some of Crystal River's most sought after game fish: redfish, snook, and trout. But that's not all you might also have the chance to catch black drum, flounder, mangrove snapper, and even tarpon.
We usually use live baitfish and shrimp, but if you prefer using lures, these thrilling gamefish can still be targeted. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, the flats fishing adventure of a lifetime awaits you!
Introducing the 20' microdraft—the ultimate fishing boat for exploring the backwaters of Crystal River, Florida. Powered by a 90 HP Yamaha motor, this locally built skiff is designed to run in the shallowest waters. With the ability to float in 3-4" of water at rest and run even shallower, it's like nothing you've ever seen. And with its 8' beam, our guests will enjoy a stable fishing platform like no other. Discover the untouched fishing areas that other anglers can only dream of reaching.
