Overview

Mobile ticket
Very few places compare to the immense fishing experience provided by the tributaries of Crystal Bay and Crystal River State Park. Fishing is always a short distant and boat ride to great areas in the Bay. Enjoy fishing one of the most persistent and underused unique ecosystem found in Florida. Fishing is great all year round, and there is such a diversity of nearshore, flats and backcountry fishing for Flounder, Cobia, Redfish, Trout, Snook, Grouper and Snapper depending on the season. Even on windy days there are plenty of places to fish, in the Bay you can fish one of the many preserves or tributaries of backcountry waterway, making this an experience, not just another fishing trip.

5.00What a wonderful morning fishing in Crystal River on a beautiful calm day. The weather was perfect and the redfish were biting. Captain Chris was an outstanding guide and such a great guy to spend the day with. I and my old school buddies had an amazing time out on the water. Thank you, Chris, for making it such a memorable time.

5.00As good as advertised, Michael was personable, knowledgeable, and very patient with those of us who were a bit heavy handed. We ended up catching around a dozen fish between us. We will rebook our trip in 2nd week of July..
A fantastic trip of our weekend

5.00We booked a full family 6 hr fishing trip, and it was a great experience. The weather and the fishing combined made this a day to remember. My brother caught record redfish, snook, cobia, gag grouper, and jack crevalle a total of 36 and I caught 3 black drum fish. I would recommend this trip on the Crystal River to anyone. Just, perfect.
well organised trip

5.00An absolutely lovely guy (Michael). Knowledgeable and experienced. Yet exceptionally helpful and understanding to those wary of the Crystal River. My daughter has unique special needs and loves going out with Michael. I'd have a battle if the boat were changed! We caught 25+ cobia. Highly recommended. Next book soon👌

5.00We had a great trip with iOutdoor Fishing Adventures (the captain was Ryan) and caught plenty of redfish. The weather was a bit rough, but the trip was fun, well-organized, and we were well looked after. Our age group ranged from 12 to 59.
Great Trip!

5.00Michael is a great captain who is really knowledgeable and friendly, and we had an excellent time catching our own hand (redfish, snook, and cobia). Great for older kids and adults alike
Caught Lots of fish!

5.00Back in Crystal River, a familiar spot and a deep-sea fishing trip on the boat. Captain Chris soon had us catching a lot of permit and tripletail, and it was capped off with a huge catch, six feet long, which made the first one we caught look like a tiddler. It's always a great trip, and you never know what you might catch or see on a 4 hr trip; we can't wait for the next time.
