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 engine and GPS and Fish Finder technology help keep you on the fish. There is also an icebox 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!

When I was younger, fishing wasn't part of my lifestyle in the way that it is now. Now, there's nothing I want more than to be on the water with a rod and reel. Through the years I've learned many new things and I've really enjoyed showing others the small things that can take their angling to the next level. I'm lucky enough to say that I truly do something that I love!
