Crawfordville, FL, United States

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**

Off-Season 4hr trip

Toby’s birthday

VERIFIED

Book a trip with Don. You will not be disappointed!! He went above and beyond to make my son have the best time for his birthday ! He even gave him a shirt and hat. He wears the hat everyday since. He was very responsive and made sure checked the best place to go to catch fish during the colder time so he would catch his first fish besides a mud skipper. He gave my son information to take with him to help better his skills. I can’t thank him enough to for making my sons day the best it could be !! 1000% recommend!

6hr nearshore fishing trip St Marks

Piles of fish!

VERIFIED

My family had a trip with captain Steve. He immediately dropped us on a spot with fish, as soon as the pace was not up to his expectations, we were onto another spot and catching more fish. We ended up hitting a school of fish, he stopped and tossed us into the school and helped us catch a Bonita just for the fun of the fight. We again moved to another hole and pulled up more fish. It was an amazing time! Thanks for the amazing trip!

We had such a great trip with Captain Donny and I could definitely see us taking another charter with him. He was very communicative, knowledgeable, and accommodating for our group of 5 adults. With his help, we were able to catch 4 different type of sharks and some bluefish. Won't forget this trip!

Had a great time with my 2 sons on the 4hr trip. Captain Steve was great. We set up and started catching fish, we caught 23 fish. Captain Steve cleaned the fish and we meet up later to get them because there was a storm coming in. I would book another trip with him when we are back in the area.

Capt Donny came home and was so happy on your trip went! And your success! Nothing better than hearing stories of someone’s first time fishing and they loved it! This is exactly why we do what we do! I’m so glad you both had a great time! -Stephanie Miley
