What anglers said about fishing in Citrus County

Bring plenty of sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. A 3/4 day fishing is perfect in May as the last 2 hrs of a full day get really hot.

Check the tidal charts. Captain Bryan can help with that. Water level can get your boat into more areas where fish hide and wait for their prey. That translates to good fishing.

We went fishing a day after a big storm fish weren't hitting very much, we still had a lot of fun though.

Don't always go with the BEST RATINGS... Communicate A LOT with the Captain that you choose.. Tell them what you expect... give them information of your crew and come to an understanding so you can all have a great fishing experience !!!

Fish Hunter Tours would be our recommendation for first timers. Captain Bryan builds a quick rapport with his clients. Gives GREAT instructions on how to handle whatever species you on.

Having never fished in Florida we found the fishing very good. Brian knew where to go and put us the fish and it was up to us to catch. Fishing technique different than Pa. but Brian got us on track. Having fresh fish for dinner tonight!

Such a great experience having this tour with Captain Jayson . We really learned so much about all the keys along with the history of Cedar Key. Learned about the fish, birds and other wildlife in the area. Saw dolphin and many birds and fish. Highly recommend this type of tour with Capt. Jayson.

If you have a guide that knows where to go and assesses the situation constantly odds are you won't get skunked.

Book with Captain Bryan! Dress warm in the morning and a bring a light rain jacket--you will get wet from sea spray. The waters can be choppy on the boat ride to fishing site. But it is worth it to find the fish!
