About Your Trip

Make the most of your time in Crawfordville, FL, and hit the water with Captain Chase for an unforgettable fishing adventure. Whether you’re looking to battle hard-fighting Gag Grouper and Cobia, reel in delicious Redfish and Mangrove Snapper, or chase after speedy King and Spanish Mackerel, this trip offers something for every angler. With Captain Chase’s local knowledge and years of experience, you’ll have the best shot at hooking into the area’s top fish while enjoying a fantastic day on the water.

The diverse waterways around Crawfordville provide access to some of the best inshore, nearshore, flats, river, and backcountry fishing in Florida’s Big Bend region. Depending on the season and conditions, you might be trolling, spinning, or bottom fishing—whatever it takes to get the fish biting. Some of the top species you may encounter include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Cobia, Tripletail, Spanish Mackerel, Black Seabass, and Mangrove Snapper. Every trip is unique, and Captain Chase will customize the experience to match your fishing goals.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 25’ Pathfinder bay boat, a versatile and well-equipped vessel that can navigate everything from shallow flats to deeper nearshore waters. With space for up to four passengers, this boat features GPS, a fishfinder, a wireless trolling motor for quietly approaching fish, a live bait well, and an ice box to keep drinks and your catch fresh. Snorkeling equipment is also available if you’d like to explore the water between bites. All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait are included, and Captain Chase will even clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip.

This experience is perfect for anglers of all skill levels, from seasoned pros to first-timers, and is completely family-friendly. Kids are more than welcome, and if you don’t have a child-sized life vest, just ask—Captain Chase may have one available. Your fishing license is covered, so all you need to bring is sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, a hat, bottled water, snacks, and a cooler for your cleaned catch. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but please avoid glass bottles and hard liquor.

Whether you’re looking to land a trophy fish, fill the cooler, or just enjoy a beautiful day on the water, Captain Chase is ready to make it happen. Book your trip today and experience the best fishing Crawfordville has to offer!

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.
