Citrus County Outfitters provides inshore saltwater fishing charters along the Nature Coast of Florida with trips typically departing from Macrae’s of Homosassa bait shop docks. Departures from Crystal River or Yankeetown can also be accommodated. Hotel pick-ups for up to two anglers are available for an additional charge.
You’ll fish from a Pro Line Pro 24 Flatback originally manufactured in Crystal River. The Pro 24 Flatback is considered by most locals to be the best boat for fishing the Nature Coast. She was completely rebuilt in 2022 and repowered with a 225 Mercury outboard that’ll make her cruise at up to 40 mph. She can carry up to six passengers, and fish four anglers comfortably.
A cooler with ice and drinking water with a room for your food and drinks is provided. All fishing tackle, bait, lures, and licenses are provided. Please bring polarized sunglasses, a hat, long sleeve shirt or jacket, and camera. Do not bring coolers, fishing gear, GPS, or drugs.
Captain Mike customizes trips to your liking as much as possible. Beginners are always welcome, and experts will be challenged!
