We had an amazing fishing trip yesterday with Captain Leon! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel welcome and took great care of me and my son. Leon was incredibly friendly and patient, especially with my son, which made the experience even more special for us.

He brought us to several different spots to try and catch redfish. Even though luck wasn’t entirely on our side that day, we still managed to catch some fish—two of which were big enough to keep! Captain Leon really went above and beyond, doing everything he could to make sure we had a great time and the best chance at a good catch.

My son absolutely loved the trip, and we both had a lot of fun. We truly recommend this boat and especially Captain Leon for anyone looking for a great day out on the water!

Fished with guides all over the U.S. and Leon (Reel Time Outfitters) worked hard to put us on fish in slow bite conditions. We did well and and were one of few boats to have success on the water we fished. My fishin’ Buddy and I made a new friend and we’ll be back! Friendly, knowledgeable, and a great sportsman made our time very enjoyable! Thanks Leon!

Captain Leon did a great job. Took us to catch redfish 1st. Wonderful to be able to sight fish in beautiful clear water. We wanted to try and get some grouper (which we did) and also snook. We don’t have snook in Charleston. My friend hooked one, but unfortunately it came unbuttoned.  Did catch a jack cravelle! Had great conversation! My friend and me are avid fisherman. Got a great recipe for the redfish and trout we brought home.  The only thing I’d have changed is that I like to take pictures of the fish we catch. Captain Leon was a little quick on the trigger to release a few that we would have liked to get pictures of.  I guess I should have spoken up about it. I would definitely hire him again the next time I’m in Crystal River!

Leo took us out at 7am and by 8am we had all caught fish. he knew the lake, the fish, the tackle, the names of the birds ans was fun to talk to. We all caught fish and in 4.5 hours, caught 23 fish, including Crappie, Bass, Blue Gill, and, 3 Pike (we let thise go). We’ve done lots of trips but this was the most fun.

My son & I took a 5-hour trip with Captain Leon on Friday May 16th 2025. The day started out pretty bad, but Captain Leon proved to be very helpful in finding fishing spots. This man put in all his energy and professionalism to make our day great. We caught fish and we had a great time. I would recommend this captain to anyone who wants to go fishing in the back country. He is very knowledgeable. Sir, again, I want to thank you for your efforts and for making my son’s birthday a happy day.
