SCALLOP SEASON IS HERE!
July-September
Add scalloping to any fishing charter
Make some memories in Crystal River and go fishing with Big 3 Charters. Captain Dylan will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.
Redfish, snook, speckled sea trout, mangrove, snapper, sheep head, black drum,
grunts, grouper, cobia, and more are in the cards if you come at the right time of year.
You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, popping, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.
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. Don't forget to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
Your trip begins aboard a 25' Carolina Skiff with capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's always wise to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Big 3 Charters!
