Fishing Charters
You will enjoy fishing from my custom rigged 24' Carolina Skiff. It has an open hull design,  moveable fishing chairs, and comfortably fishes four
anglers.    
 
My boat is powered by a 115 HP Yamaha outboard motor, and is equipped with a bow mounted trolling motor and polling platform for stealth approach.    For a closer look, click on this picture.

The flat bottom and shallow draft provide a stable fishing platform from which to fight the bull redfish and gator trout that are often caught.... Another benefit of my boat's design is that I am able to run the skinny water and get into the backcountry where the fish try to hide !

 Rates and Options
Full Day  (8 hrs) 1-2 People $400.00    Half Day (4 hrs) 1-2 People $300.00
Add $25 for each additional person up to a max. of 4

SHORE LUNCH:  Fish the first part of the day, then stop on one of the many private shell islands where I will cook your fresh catch of the day and serve it to you along with all the fixings, including my special hushpuppy recipe.    Shore Lunch  $50.00 minimum

IF YOU'RE NOT AN AVID ANGLER- then you may like to spend part of your day enjoying a nature tour of either Crystal River or Homosassa.  Cruising around the rivers and flats taking in the scenery and many species of wildlife that inhabit the surrounding coastal islands and grass marshes.  And for the bird-watchers, If you're lucky you may spot one of the American Bald Eagles that nest along the river.  Many species of other birds including the Great Blue Heron may also been observed.  Dolphins and the endangered West Indian Manatee are also regular inhabitants of the coastal waters.  

Families and children are always welcome.  In fact, I encourage parents to get their young ones out on the water and give them the opportunity to develop an appreciation for the sport of fishing.  There's nothing more fun than seeing a youngster reel in their first catch.

ACCOMMODATIONS: E-mail me or give me a call at 352-489-5168 and I'll  be happy to assist you or provide information on local hotels, etc.

April thru September are the busiest months, so be sure and call ahead.
