Great Family, Great Day Of Fishing!!!

July 19, 2025

The good Lord just keeps bringing me these incredible families to fish with! Yesterday, I had Billy, his wife Missy, their son Joel, and his wife Kitty. We got our first slot Redfish first thing in the morning, and then followed that up with another one soon after. It was pretty cool as this was both Billy and Joel's first Redfish. To do this on Joel's birthday trip was a great way to celebrate! Went on to catch Seatrout, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, Whiting, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, and a few more Redfish throughout the rest of our time together on the water. It was truly another blessed day fishing the Nature Coast!

Redfish kind of day!

July 17, 2025

It was a privilege and a ton of fun to host this wonderful family from Germany on a charter yesterday. Chris, his wife Sophia, and their two boys, Gustav and Anton, caught a lot of fish yesterday, including about 25 to 30 Redfish. Although a lot of them were small, there were a few nice slot fish mixed in. Since they were traveling around Florida , we only kept a few fish and released the rest. Along with some nice eating size flounder, they also caught about 15 to 20 Jacks, which are all over out there right now. Other species included Mangrove Snapper, Shark, and Black Drum. They kept the Captain busy on this half day trip, and I enjoyed every minute of it! This was Anton's birthday trip, and he wanted to catch something big that pulled a lot of drag. I set him up on a rig to hopefully catch a shark, and although that did not happen, he hooked into a very large Ray that was bigger than a trash can lid, and the battle was on. He just turned 10, but boy, that kid handled the fish well and got him to the boat all by himself with a little bit of coaching. All in all, it was another successful fishing adventure in God's Country and I am just so grateful to be able to once again have folks like this on my boat!!!

What anglers said about fishing in Citrus County

Water was a bit warm for the fish, and we caught many that were too small for keeping, but we were busy fishing all day and had a great time!

Finders Keepers Charters

I would definitely go earlier in the year for easier finding of scallops. However, we still had an amazing time and Taylor helped us find plenty of scallops

Saltwater Cowboy

Get there early to park at Pete’s Pier! It’s the usual buzz in the AM at the boat launch. Prepare to see dolphin and manatee. Ample fishing and scalloping.

Live Action Fishing Adventures

Light rain gear as showers are possible anytime. Bring drinks, snacks, sunglasses and hats. Know the basics of casting and fishing. Of course the captain will help but your experience will be richer if you practice and learn a little first.

Houseboat Scalloping Charters

Have to try scalloping is a lot of fun and pretty easy to do. Salty Day charter was the best for my family. Couldn't ask for a better captain and first mate.

Salty Day Fishing Charters

It was hard to fish in June. Fishing are not running and are not active in the very warm water. It was almost bath water, and most fish are dormant. Our captain still new how to catch red fish in this weather, and we had a great trip. Weather was perfect. Would do this again in June if able.

Our captain was extremely knowledgeable about time frames for certain fish. I would say reach out for more information from Captain Tim. It gets a bit up and down especially as it gets hotter.

Reel Shallow Adventures

Focus on in-shore fishing. The deep drop is a long boatride out to the fishing ground and you may be more successful spending your time fishing for speckled trout, redfish and snook in-shore.
