Background: I retired from 24 years active duty service in the Coast Guard in 2015. I returned to my roots, Citrus County Florida. I have been fishing the local waters since 1982. I am environmentally conscious and strive to protect our resources, yet let my clients take what nature has provided us. I was a paramedic in the Coast Guard and also have my degree in Safety and Occupational Health. I take pride in my work and use my military experience to provide a safe and memorable trip to clients. I use the latest technology to stay abreast of the weather and tides to keep the clients and myself out of unfavorable conditions. Complete customer satisfaction is my goal and I will strive to accomplish that on each and every trip.

It is warming up

Maa 6, 2025 Crystal River

The weather is warming up, the bait is showing up and fish are biting. Trout, redfish, sheepshead are all chewing now. We are getting some pompano and spanish Mackerel showing up as well.

Grouper season is here!!!!!!

Sep 30, 2021 Crystal River

The grouper season here opens on 1 June. Come out with Finders Keepers Charters and try to catch these tasty fish on light to medium tackle either bottom fishing or trolling lipped plugs. The action is a little farther offshore in the summer months and then heats up nearshore as the water cools. I will chum up rocks in 20- 25 feet of water with pin fish and then free line a nice size one and wait for the bite to happen. Then it is a tug o war. Book now as prime days are going fast.

Triple play!!!!!!!

Maa 30, 2021 Crystal River

Opening day of baseball season is today. It is also the time the tripletail show up on the crab pot buoys on the gulf. The Past two trips yielded 2 fish up to 20 inches and have had 3 or 4 fish that were just short of the 18 inch minimum each day. The tower on the Aeon allows me to see the fish and direct the anglers on the pinpoint location and once hooked these guys like to get airborne at times and pull really hard. Plus these taste great and yield quite a bit of white flaky filets. Book now as April is prime time for tripletail and the cobia should be right behind. Captain Kevin Finders Keepers Charters llc

Tarpon,Snook,Redfish

Maa 23, 2021 Crystal River

I have been keying in the snook and redfish lately. Also got a 8 y/o young man on his first ever tarpon last week. It jumped like crazy and as soon as as I got a hand on the leader , it wore through. Also catching sheepshead, black drum and mangrove snapper.

Winter time mixed bag

Feb 20, 2021 Crystal River

The sheephead bite is still strong. We are getting some mangrove snapper and grouper while sitting on near shore rocks as well. Spanish mackeral and sea trout are also stound. Once the tide comes up we are seeing schools of redfish on mangrove shorelines and on colder days sunning on the mud flats. Afternoon bites are the norm until the water warms up. Book now and don’t forget about the military discount. I look forward to having you and your crew out for a great day on the water. Capt Kevin

Doubled up

Dec 30, 2020 Crystal River

The water temps in the gulf have dropped below 60 degrees. The majority of the bait has either went deep or moved into the rivers. Thus most of the redfish, black drum, and trout have moved into the deeper holes in the river. Once you find them, it is usually one after another. Unfortunatly , they have been alot of shorts, 15-17” rat reds. The black drum are perfect sized though and the trout bite is good as well. So book now for a fun half or full day charter in January and start the new year off with some tasty and hard fighting fish on light tackle. Capt. Kevin

Logan booked with Finders Keepers charters to target sheepshead. We had to hunt em down at first but he got a few keepers for the ride back to Tennessee. Then headed back to the mangroves as the tide rose in the afternoon. Spotted an extra large redfish on some sandy bottom but he had no interest in our offerings. Then back to pick up Madison and a special guest. We then proceeded to catch a few more sheepshead, some black drum, and a pretty good trout as well as some mangrove snapper. ... Meer

Captain Kevin was great. I took my two sons with me, one of which was six. He is autistic and Captain Kevin was great with him. He was even reeling in fish. I would definitely go back out!

Our family of 3 set out with Kevin to catch some fish and have a great day on the water and that is exactly what happened. The guide is what makes these kinds of trips fun, in my opinion, and we hit a home run with Kevin. He was patient with us and took special care to make sure our 11 yr old son had a great time and learned some things along the way. We caught plenty of fish, laughed and told stories, and listened to some good music. We could not have asked for anything more. We look... Meer

Craig Thanks for booking with Finders Keepers Charters. We got into some redfish…. Then some really healthy blacktip sharks wanted our redfish as well. We had a 150 lb shark on trout tackle for 3-4 minutes and got to see it jump 40 ft from the boat in 2.5 feet of water. Non-stop action on a half day charter. Thanks again. Capt Kevin
