Crawfordville has a fish with your name on it, so let Coast Runner Outfitters help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Donny, offering years of local experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Alligator Gar, Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, Redfish, Scallop, Blacktip Shark, and anything else that bites. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, popping, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Donny also offers Flounder gigging. For the more adventurous among you, there's bowfishing.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You'll find yourself aboard a 23' Epic bay boat with room for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Donny will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Coast Runner Outfitters.

**typically fishing cleaning is covered in cost of trip. For special requests let us know before trip to, for an added cost and if time permitts we can arrange it**
