Reel Pressure is a Crystal River, Florida-based fishing outfitter that offers guided on-water experiences centered on inshore and flats angling. The business presents a roster of five named trips: A Night Out, The Big Catch And Release, Catch of The Day, 101 Inshore Artificial Fishing, and A Day to Remember.
A Night Out is described as a five-hour gigging adventure on the flats of Ozella, with opportunities to target Sheepshead, Black Drum, Flounder, and Mullet while enjoying a sunset cruise. For that trip, Reel Pressure provides all equipment and includes catch cleaning as part of the service.
Beyond the featured nighttime cruise, Reel Pressure lists additional options that allow anglers to pursue different objectives: a catch-and-release outing, a catch-of-the-day style trip, an artificial-lure focused instruction session, and a full-day commemorative excursion.
