A World of Fishing Opportunities
Crystal River is renowned for its diverse fish population. From redfish, sea trout, and sheepshead to snapper, snook, and tarpon, there's something for every angler. Light tackle fishing on the nearshore waters of Crystal River offers opportunities to catch these and many other fish species. Light tackle fishing in Crystal River can be good year round but the best is generally from November-March. During these months, many of our targeted species are schooled up inside of 20 miles.
Why light tackle fishing?
An attractive aspect of light tackle fishing charters is the cost. These charters tend to be less expensive than offshore & deep sea charters, breaking down to roughly $200-250 per person this enables you to experience fishing without breaking the bank. These charters are equipped with quality fishing equipment, including bait, tackle, fishing license.
Another reason to choose light tackle fishing charter in Crystal River is the duration. These trips are closer to shore so we can eliminate extreme ride times. Over the years we've found that many guests only like half day trips. This duration is perfect for those seeking a quick fishing getaway or those with time restraints. A full day trip will always provide more fish for guests to take home.
