Charter Fishing with Captain Robert invites anglers of all ages and levels of experience to join them in exploring Crystal River's nearshore and backcountry waters. Captain Robert Mcclinnis grew up in the area and is committed to catering to all your needs. Bring the whole family along and spend a fun day in nature, chasing the most prized fish species in the region.

The boat you’ll be fishing from is a 24 ft scout, powered by a 200HP Yamaha outboard. This boat’s versatile design makes it a great choice for both inshore, nearshore, and backcountry fishing. It can accommodate 6 anglers fishing at the same using a number of fishing techniques. If you’re trolling, the number of anglers fishing at the same time comes down to 2. The also boat has all the safety equipment and electronics you could need to have a safe, action-packed trip!

Charter Fishing with Captain Robert trips will take you around the best fishing and scalloping grounds around. Depending on the trip you’ll be able to target a wide variety of species, including Redfish, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Cobia, and more. If you’d like to have access to snorkeling equipment, to escape the heat during the hot summer days, let your captain know ahead of time and they will bring it along for the trip. 

As far as fishing gear is concerned, that’s all taken care of. The captain will provide you with top-of-the-line bull bay rods and Shimano reels as well as tackle, lures, and live bait. Live bait is included in each trip and depending on availability the captain will either have live shrimp or he’ll stop by one of his traps and have fresh bait ready within seconds.

All you need to bring is your choice of drinks and snacks (water and ice will be provided), non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and you’re ready to meet Captain Robert on the water!
