Crystal River Fishing Charter

Come out with Captain Gene Miller, a licensed and insured Master Captain of 30 years. He has also just won Citrus County Chronicle's Best of the Best Award for 2025!

Explore the grass flats, mangrove shorelines, and winding backwaters of Crystal River on an action-packed inshore fishing adventure. These calm, shallow waters are home to some of Florida’s most exciting and delicious sportfish, making this trip perfect for anglers of all skill levels.

On your trip, you may target:

• Redfish – hard-fighting favorites found cruising the flats and shorelines

• Spotted Seatrout – abundant and fun to catch, especially on live bait or soft plastics

• Snook – a prized inshore species known for explosive strikes (seasonal)

• Tarpon – the “Silver King,” available at certain times of year for anglers looking for a true challenge

• Mangrove Snapper – great table fare often caught around docks and structure

• Sheepshead – a strong-pulling fish commonly found near pilings and oyster bars

Trips are tailored to the season, tides, and your experience level—whether you’re chasing your first fish, filling the cooler, or hunting a trophy. All tackle, bait, and licenses are provided, so you can just relax and enjoy a classic Florida inshore fishing experience.

Captain Gene's 24ft boat is comfortable for 1 to 6 people. Prepare yourself for a knowledgeable, fun, and safe trip with Captain Gene!
