About
All Florida Fishing Adventures Charters are customized based upon the types of fishing opportunities available and the type of fishing requested by the customer. The Crystal River, Ozello and Homosassa areas offer a variety of different angling opportunities, mainly due to the vast amounts of unspoiled back county islands and crystal clear flats. Many species can be targeted during a day of fishing with Florida Fishing Adventures
Florida Fishing Adventures offers Tarpon fishing charters right here in Crystal River. Peak season tarpon fishing is often centered through the months of May and June. However, we are able to target these hard fighting fish all the way through January. The prime months revolve around the yearly Florida Tarpon migration. In Crystal River, tarpon can be found rolling through the flats, rivers, and ditches of our inshore fishery. We offer these charters regularly on spin tackle, but we can also guide experienced fly fishermen who wish to battle the Silver King along the Nature Coast.
