If you’ve heard a lot about the prolific inshore waters of Florida, but you’ve never tested them out, this is your chance. Captain Tony Bowling invites you to join him for a great day on the water that you’ll remember for years to come!

Capt. Tony is based out of Crystal River but fishes all of the Nature Coast, so he’ll take you to wherever the fish are biting. Depending on the time of year, you will target some of Florida’s favorite species like Snook, Speckled Trout, Redfish, Cobia, Tripletail, Black Seabass… the list goes on!

You’ll have top-of-the-line angling equipment, live bait, and lures to attract your catch and get it into the boat. At the end of your trip, your catch will be cleaned and filleted, so you can enjoy it as soon as you get home. In the summer, you can combine fishing with scalloping, and spend some time in pristine waters going after these tasty morsels.

One of the great things about these expeditions is that you can try out different fishing techniques. If you’re an avid fly fisherman, bring your own fly fishing gear, and test your skills in new waters. Capt. Tony also has bow fishing equipment for 2 people with previous experience, and kids over the age of 12 can fish with a bow as well.

Come aboard a 22’Micro Draft flats boat, equipped with a 115HP Yamaha engine that’ll take you to the most productive fishing holes. Thanks to state-of-the-art navigational electronics, this vessel can take up to 4 anglers to the best fish hideouts.

Children of all ages are welcome aboard, and your captain will provide life jackets for everyone. If you’re visiting with your family, there’s special “family pricing,” so make sure you discuss this with your captain. Bring drinks, food, sunscreen, and appropriate clothing to protect you from the heat.

Leave everything else in the capable hands of Captain Tony Bowling and get ready for a thrilling fishing excursion!

My grandson and I had an awesome time with Captain Tony!! I was very patient and professional. He went above and beyond to get us hooked up even though it was really off season. Showed us all kinds of Florida wildlife and gave us memories we will not soon forget.

Captain Tony Bowling was very helpful and worked hard to put us on the fish. My grandson caught the most, and largest fish he has ever caught. If you are planning a fishing trip, you need to book with Captain Tony Bowling.
