If it’s inshore and nearshore fishing you’re after, look no further than “Live Action Fishing Charters”! Captain Justin Rolph, a Crystal River native, has been running this operation since 2015. This laid-back captain does his best to help you land a great fish while making long-lasting memories.

Your vessel for the day is 22’ Nautic Star center console. She can accommodate up to 4 anglers on fishing charters, and 6 on scalloping trips. This smooth-riding boat is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha SHO engine with a Simrad to help keep you on the fish. There is also a cooler onboard to keep your drinks and snacks cool throughout the trip.

Whether you want to fish the flats, sight casting, or head into slightly deeper waters, Capt. Justin has the gear you need to hook your target fish.
From Redfish and Snook to Gag Grouper, Tripletail and Sheepshead, it’ll be a rod-bending day! If you’d rather spend your time searching for scallops in the summertime, Captain Justin provides snorkeling gear.

All the fishing and scalloping equipment you need is already on board. At the end of the trip, Capt. Justin is also happy to clean and fillet your catch. Help yourself to the bottled water in the ice box or stock it up with your own drinks and snacks before setting out.

Capt. Justin and the crew look forward to seeing you aboard Live Action Fishing Charters!

My friend and I had the best time scalloping today and having Justin as our captain made it so fun! We saw dolphins and manatees and plenty of scallops. He even helped clean them. We played great music, had a lot of laughs, and he kept us safe with so many other boats in the area. He had a watchful eye! Justin knows the waters well and will help you get your scallop limit! He’ll move and move until you hit the right spots. I highly recommend Justin for your next boat captain for scalloping!

Thanks Justin for a fun day of fishing with my good friend Mark. Caught many fish and brought home some nice sheepshead that I’m looking forward to trying for the first time. Justin really tried to put us on some trout but the cold weather must have shut them down. Justin is a fun captain and a great guy. I would definitely recommend him and will be scheduling another trip with him soon.

Capt. Justin was great

VERIFIED

He knows the area and is very knowledgeable on the conditions. He was polite and very accommodating. He got us out there and put us right on the scallops, and moved us a few times to keep us catching. Finished the day with well over 2 gallons for the 2 of us!

Thanks again Justin for a wonderful time! Started the morning with some nice trout, then out for some huge sheepshead and finished the day in the flats for reds. Justin always stays on the move to keep you on fish and he sure put us on some nice ones!
