    Capt. Jacob is the guy want

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Capt. Jacob is the ultimate local insider. He put us on fish from the get go, and we had fish in the box within minutes. He clearly had a plan to keep things interesting and not be fishing the same way all day. We caught a lot and had some sharky adventures as well.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Mangrove Snapper
    Gag Grouper

The fishing in Ozello is heating up!

Jun 1, 2022 • Crystal River
The Redfish bite is getting fired up with the water temps warming. We have been finding limits of quality reds in the mid to upper slot all week. They seem to be liking that cooler water from the start to the top of the incoming tide. Live shrimp or mud minnows on a 1/8 oz jig head under a popping cork, floating past the mangroves with the current is sure to get you bit. Watch for any cuts in the mangroves with flowing water as they will be holdng reds and snook both. With the water temps starting to rise don't overlook the artificial baits. Soft plastic jerk baits as well the Mirrolure Mirrodines are working very well. Slow your retrieve for the reds and speed it up a bit for the snook. The next couple of weeks looks great for inshore fishing. Don't forget there is less than a month until scallop season starts so get your fishing in now before the boat traffic. After July, early morning and late evening bites will be epic and will help you beat the heat!

BRING YOUR KIDS!!

Aug 1, 2020 • Crystal River
If we had a dollar for every time our customers under 14 said “This is so much fun”, we could take every one of you scalloping on us! It’s not about limiting out folks but about the smiles, quality family time, and eco-system education. Our most frequently asked questions are about age limits and our answer is loud and clear, BRING US YOUR KIDS! Not only is a trip with us safe and fun for children, but the education on our natural science and memories are priceless!
