Fishing in the Big Bend and Crystal River
The Big Bend region, anchored by Crystal River and Homosassa, is known for shallow, grass-covered flats that hold redfish, spotted seatrout, and one of Florida's most famous spring tarpon runs. The area's spring-fed rivers also add freshwater fishing and the scalloping that draws visitors each summer.
The flats off Homosassa have long been famous among tarpon anglers chasing trophy fish in late spring, while the shallow grass around Crystal River holds redfish and trout for much of the year. The spring-fed rivers themselves are worth exploring for bass in the freshwater stretches upriver.
