About Your Trip

Head out for an unforgettable day on the pristine waters of Crystal River with Captain Carter! Whether you’re an experienced angler or picking up a rod for the first time, this trip is the perfect way to experience Florida’s inshore fishing at its finest.

Using light tackle, you’ll be targeting a variety of prized species, including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Sheepshead, and even the occasional Black Drum or Tripletail. Depending on the season, you might be sight casting for cruising Redfish on the flats, pulling Trout from grass beds, or sneaking up on structure-dwelling Sheepshead. If you’re lucky enough to fish during Snook season, get ready for an exciting fight against these hard-hitting, acrobatic fish!

Captain Carter will provide everything you need for a successful day on the water, including high-quality rods and reels, tackle, bait, and even your fishing license. At the end of the trip, he’ll also clean and prepare your catch so you can take it home for a fresh, delicious meal.

With room for up to four anglers, this trip is perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed yet action-packed day on the water. Crystal River’s scenic backcountry and winding channels offer a breathtaking backdrop for your adventure, so sit back, enjoy the ride, and get ready to reel in some unforgettable memories!

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
