    Go stay at the plantation for a weekend and you will be hooked. If you want to book a guide ill hook you up with who to go with. But the river is insane. The manatees are a bit of a pain but they are also really cool so its one of them deals. Where do you live now.

    Look up east cape skiffs. My boy Kevin is half owner. They make some pretty sick skiffs and they just started making a sick bay boat which is insane . These guys really take the time on everything they do so when they hand you over a boat its 100%. But not cheap.

    I live in Orlando but we go back all the time to fish. Cobia will be running soon. The other crazy thing about Crystal River is hardly any one has dual motors so not many people venture that far off shore. So if you got any numbers that are 30 miles off shore and out you just kill it. The rocks...

    Went went out 2 weeks ago and limited out on trout in less then 20 min. We use Berkeley gulps but you need to have the right color. I had 3 fish in the cooler before my brother could get organized. I had a light root beer color on and he was using nuclear chicken and I was killing him. He...

    We catch them up here in crystal river, day time night time they are always pounding bait. Its insane how big they get and how little meat they offer up. I caught one a few years back was probably 55-60in. Laid almost all the way across the whole front deck of our 24 ft Carolina skiff. We caught...

    We call them sail cats and they are very good to eat. All white meat with a firm texture. We use the old $25 fry daddy to cook them up.

    Hog snapper is a very light fish and is probably #2 most eaten snapper in the keys. Yellow tail can be found on pretty much every single menu in the keys and is hands down the #1 most eaten fish in the keys. Mahi Mahi is a very nice fish that you can get made in several different ways...

    Very nice. Ill give you an easy recipe for those mangroves. you will need 2 to 4 fillets no skin on, put them on foil on a decent cookie sheet. Needs to be a good cookie sheet other wise when you broil the fish the cookie sheet will warp and it will splatter the fishes juices all over the inside...

    You can cook them several ways. Most people use a cast iron skillet which they get crazy hot. Then they put in some olive oil and butter and you place your scallops on one of the 2 sides and sear both the top and bottom. You want to make sure you dry your scallops with paper towels just before...
