Citrus and Marion Counties have some of the best sport fishing in the State of Florida. The Nature Coast is still relatively free from over development. There are so many unspoiled areas. Truly what Old Florida was in its infancy. Quiet kayaking through these areas are the best ways to view deer, alligators, wild pigs, raccoons, manatees, coyotes, and many, many species of birds like opreys, eagles, spoonbills, and ducks just to name a few. With seven rivers, all spring fed, and some so crystal clear you can see the fish, turtles, and snake birds swim right below you. Large mouth bass is number one for fresh water fishing around here and the Rainbow River offers crystal clear waters from it's source all the way to the Withlacoochee River. After a 'hard day' of fishing, it's refreshing to cool off in it's 72 degree year round water, and it's easy to do from our angler kayaks. Fish the flats for game fish such as redfish, grouper, snapper, cobia, tarpon, shark, and mackerel. Kayak fishing is getting more and more popular. It's quiet, serene, and slow. Trolling at a paddle pace is much more effective than zooming along at 10 knots. The fish can actually catch up to the bait! There's neither noise from a motor, nor a smell of gasoline and oil burning in the air. You're so close to the fish when they strike you can "feel" the action. You can also get deep into the mangroves or close to shore or close to the flats in a kayak, where the draft from a power boat its almost impossible. Once you've tried Kayak Fishing you'll be "HOOKED."		Guided Kayak Fishing Tours With Renowned Local Fishing Guide Captain Kyle Messier, Owner of Red Hot Fishing Charters. Captain Kyle comes to us as an avid fishing guide as well as a recreational kayaker. Put the two together and... well... the excitement begins.


		Raised on and around the waters of the Nature Coast, Capt. Kyle began his fishing career at age 15 when he won his first tournament. He tried his hand in the commercial fishing industry for five years. Finally realizing his love, skill, and otivation for tournament fishing he returned to the scene and was the first to win back to back championships in 2003. What does this mean for you? If you want to catch fish, contact Capt. Kyle. If you want to hunt and catch fish with Capt. Kyle from the excitement of a kayak, contact us, Kayaks and Beyond.
