Captain Clay Shidler- US COAST GUARD LICENSED AND INSURED
ABOUT CAPTAIN CLAY He has lived on the water in Crystal River Florida his entire life and have built a solid reputation as a captain that can catch fish everyday of the year. He runs a 24 foot Young tunnel hull powered by a 200 horse power Yamaha engine. I prefer to target shallow water species on the grass flats and back country creeks that have made Crystal River famous for fishing. Most fishing is done in less than 7 feet of water. INSHORE BOAT The boat you will be fishing on is a custom rigged 24 foot Young tunnel hull with a 10 foot tall custom tower. It is powered by a very reliable 200 horse power Yamaha four stroke engine. The boat is rigged with twin 45 gallon live wells and is completed by a 120 quart drink cooler. The boat runs in water as shallow as 6 inches and has a very stable and spacious platform to fish from. OFFSHORE BOAT His offshore boat is a 37 foot Freeman catamaran powered by four 300 Suzuki four strokes. This boat is a spacious platform that has plenty of room for up to 6 anglers to spread out and receive a personalized offshore fishing experience. At nearly 11ft wide our boat is very stable in nearly all sea conditions which helps keep anglers from getting sick in choppy waves. With 1200 horsepower pushing our rig we make it to and from the fishing grounds in a hurry which helps to maximize fishing time. This boat is the perfect combination of speed and stability and does a great job for the type of charters that we run.
