Stars and Stripes Charters takes you fishing around the Crystal River fisheries. If you’re looking for a supreme inshore fishing action, these grassy flats and inshore waters will be a real treat. Whether you’re a family with kids, a group of novice anglers, or a seasoned fisherman looking to land a Bull Red, Capt. Matt will make sure you have a productive day on the water.

Capt. Matt has been fishing his entire life. He has over 20 years of Bass fishing and has taken part in tournaments, with success. Two decades ago he was introduced to the charms of saltwater fishing and has been hooked on it ever since. He now runs fishing charters, sightseeing, and snorkeling tours and is knowledgeable and well equipped to put you on fish.

You will be fishing from a 22’ Micro Draft Boats center console that is powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine. The vessel can take up to six people. She is equipped with GPS, a fishfinder, has a live bait well, an ice box, and more.

The captain will supply all the fishing gear you need, as well as lures and bait. There will be bottled water onboard, but you should bring food. It would be good to bring a cooler and leave in the car so that you can take your catch back home. There will be plenty of ice onboard to keep your food and fish fresh and cold. Kids are welcome to join the chase and the captain will supply the jackets. Please note that no bananas are allowed onboard. And, if you’d like to go snorkeling, the equipment is waiting for you onboard.

You should pack sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera. Get your friends, grab your bag, and hop onboard for some fine inshore fishing!
