    BS Charters and Captain Brody delivered an awesome day on the water!

    Full day inshore fishing trip on October 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    We headed out to Crystal River on a pretty windy day, so much so that we practically had the water all to ourselves with no other boats around. While we are not new to fishing, this was our first time targeting redfish and snook, and Captain Brody made it a great experience. The boat was very comfortable and handled the choppy, windy waters with ease, keeping us safe and stable. Captain Brody really knew his stuff. When something wasn't working, he adjusted on the fly and took us to multiple different spots until we found where the fish were holding up. We ended up catching quite a few redfish (smalls and keepers), a really nice snook, and a handful of catfish and ladyfish to keep things interesting. Since we were flying back to Maine the next morning, we released all the fish, but it was a blast catching them. If you want a hard-working guide with a top-notch boat who puts you on fish even when the weather isn't cooperating, books with BS Charters and Captain Brody. We had a blast!

    A Family Adventure

    Half day inshore fishing trip on September 29, 2026 • 4 adults

    My family and I had a great time fishing with Captain Brody today! Caught a variety of fish including red drum, salt water trout, a few sharks and a nice variety of others. We saw a huge sea turtle as well. Captain Brody had a lot of patience with us and even filleted our fish to bring home. He was very knowledgeable regarding his surroundings and knowing the best places to catch the fish. We hope to come back next year!

    AMAZING TRIP

    Half day inshore fishing trip on August 9, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had an amazing time fishing. The captain put us on the fish right away. Super fun fishing those redfish. I am looking forward to come back and fish in the winter time. The captain went above and beyond to put us on fish, to make my wife comfortable who was fishing for the first time, and to give us the best experience out on the water.

    We booked a half day scalloping trip with Captain Brody.

    4-6 hour scalloping trip on August 22, 2026 • 6 adults

    Our scalloping trip was cut short, murky water and light rain. Captain Brody offered to take us to the springs, which we joyfully accepted. Some springs you can only get to via watercraft. The weather got worse but we had a great experience.

    Great scallop trip!

    4-6 hour scalloping trip on July 19, 2026 • 5 adults

    Ended up going out with captain Tommy and had a great day. He put us on scallops quickly. We got what we wanted and told him that we had plenty of scallops so with the time left he took us to the springs to snorkel there.

Very successful day fishing.
Full day inshore fishing trip on October 21, 2026 • 2 adults

First stop baits in the water and hooked up about 5 reds in about 30 minutes on to next spot. Then to next spot and it was the honey hole, caught about 35 reds in about 1 and half hours along with about 20 lbs red drum. Finished out the day fishing and catching trout. Capt Brody was very attentive and on fish the whole trip.
