Bottled water is typically provided, but guests are welcome to bring additional drinks and snacks.


What should I bring on my Crystal River fishing trip?

We recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a light jacket depending on the weather. Wear non-slip shoes, and don’t forget a cooler to transport your cleaned catch home. If you’re heading out on a scalloping trip, bring swimwear, towels, and snorkeling gear if you prefer to use your own (we provide gear upon request).


When is the best time to go fishing in Crystal River?

Fishing is great year-round in Crystal River, but the best time often depends on the species you're targeting. Spring and fall are ideal for inshore fishing, while summer is perfect for scalloping season, which typically runs from July through early September. Our local knowledge helps us put you on the fish regardless of the season.


Do I need to bring my own gear?

No, we provide standard gear such as rods and reels so you don’t need to worry about anything. But please feel free to bring you own gear if you prefer.
