Cystal River excitement
Half Day Trip – Inshore - 8:00 AM on June 8, 20262 adults

we meet up with the captain early. He informed us that the tide would be better a little earlier, we went to the private boat ramp that he uses. no worry about vandalism, there. It is under surveillance with cameras and gated access. The captain had excellent communication skills. He really knows the area that you're a fishing in. He put us on a school of about 50 red fish. We caught many fish that day. He even ran the charter a little later because of all the fish that we were catching, You will not be disappointed. thanks Captain

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Redfish

Half Day Trip – Inshore on May 16, 20262 adults

Captain Steven knows the waters where he'll take you fishing! Captain Steve is polite and provides great customer service to his customers. In a 4 hour trip, we caught more than enough good tasty fish to cook up fresh when we got home for 4 people. He took care of every detail including cleaning the fish! Book a trip with Captain Steve with Reel Fishing Charters of Crystal River today, you won't be disappointed! Nice boat too. Definitely booking again. Had so much fun that we forgot to take photos!

Amazing fishing trip in the books
Half Day Trip – Inshore on April 27, 20261 adult

Went on a solo afternoon trip with Capt. Steven today and had a great time. He didn’t just put me in front of the fish and have me reel them in he took the time to explain what we were doing and why. I learned a ton and ended the day with a 24” red and a keeper sheepshead and snapper to round out the box. All in all it was a great trip and I will definitely be back again next time I am in town.

Reported catch:
Redfish
Sheepshead
Mangrove Snapper
Black Drum
Response from Captain
