Crystal River Black Grouper Fishing Charters

Reel Time invites you for shallow water Grouper fishing. People normally don't think of chasing this species in shallow water but that's what makes this fishery special. From bottom fishing with live and cut bait to trolling shallow diving plugs to throwing casting plugs at shallow rocks, Grouper puts up a huge fight trying to get back into its home. You'll be targeting rocks, ledges, springs, holes, and any kind of structure that will hold fish.

With low pressure from other boats and anglers, you will get the waters all to your selves. The list of your potential targets could include Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Tarpon, Snook, Sheepshead, and even Shark!

A 4-Hour Nearshore fishing trip targeting reef fish. Usually 3-9 Miles out.

Step aboard our 35' custom-built, yacht-class offshore center console and travel in speed and comfort up to 50 miles offshore to target Hogfish, Mangrove Snapper, Red Grouper, and Gag Grouper when in season. This trip produces great numbers of fish and gives you the chance to use a variety of techniques throughout the day. Expect quality catches and plenty of action along the way. Please note: Red Snapper trips typically begin around the 80-mile range due to the deeper waters required on Florida's west.
