Captain Ray grew up fishing the inshore waters of Citrus County, Florida. As a Native to Citrus County, Captain Ray has grown to know the waters of Crystal River like the back of his hand. He has spent much of his life dedicated to learning everything there is to know about inshore fishing in Florida. From fishing for Snook using artificial lures to catching massive Redfish using live shrimp, Ray is a master of it all. After spending 10 years serving in the US Army with two deployments Ray came back eager to share his love for these waters with other anglers. Captain Ray launched Salty Vets Fishing Charters six years ago and has been helping his guests create long lasting memories on fishing charters and scalloping tours in Crystal River ever since. He loves taking out both novice anglers and seasoned pros because he finds there is always something that can be taught or learned about fishing in Florida. Additionally, to show his appreciation for fellow veterans, Captain Ray offers discounted veterans trips for guests that have served in the military. You’ll be fishing on his beautiful 2019 19' Cape Craft boat which can accommodate up to 4 guests(6 for scallop trips). It is powered by a 115HP Suzuki engine with a maximum cruising speed of 30 mph. This inshore fishing boat is made to suit the shallow water, and the wireless trolling motor it has makes it super quiet in order not to spook the fish. It is also equipped with a GPS. Salty Vets Fishing Charters loves every species of fish that swims in Crystal River’s waters. Capt. Raymond spent years figuring out the best tactics to catch these fish. Snook, Redfish, Trout, Grouper and the list goes on! The type of fish you will be targeting on your trip depends on the season and of course your preference. He also offers scalloping trips, which can best be described as an underwater treasure hunt. So much fun for kids! Experience is not necessary and you are sure to reach the 2.5 gallons per person limit Captain Raymond will provide you with fishing equipment, rods, reels, tackle, live and artificial baits, a fishing license, and will gladly clean and fillet your catch so you can take it home for a great meal. All that you will need to bring is your food and drinks for the trip.

Common Questions How do you find a scallop bed?- Scallop beds can be found throughout the inshore waters of Crystal River. Scallops are most frequently found in beds of seagrass that are scattered throughout our shallow waters, generally speaking these beds sit in about 3-6 feet of water depending on tides. Our Crystal River, FL Scallop Charters are intended to provide a high level of instruction when it comes to figuring out where the most productive places to find Scallops are. Is Crystal River a good place to fish?- Crystal River is not only a good place to fish, some might argue that it is the best place to fish. Fishing Crystal River Florida is an experience that is second to none. The fishing here is so good for a couple of reasons. This area is located along the coast of Florida in a spot that is frequented by many different migratory fish species as they make their way along the Gulf Coast. Species like Tarpon for example love to hang out in the inshore waters of Crystal River as they seek out their ideal water temperatures. Another reason why Crystal River fishing so good is because of the topography of the ocean floor here. With many different drop offs and flats, it is incredibly easy to target different fish species in different environments all within the same day! Do you need a fishing license to go on a fishing charter in Florida?- No, Luckily for our guests Captain Ray's Captains License covers the fishing license requirements for all guests on board his vessel!
