Crystal River Inshore Fishing Report – November 2025

The inshore bite has been exceptional this week, with speckled trout stealing the show. We’ve been finding consistent action in the grass flats and around structure, with anglers bringing in quality fish throughout the day.

The trout have been responding well to live bait and artificial lures. Early morning and late afternoon sessions have produced the best results, though the midday bite has remained steady. Water temperatures are ideal right now, and the fish are actively feeding.

If you’re targeting speckled trout, focus on areas with good water movement and plenty of grass. These fish are holding in their typical haunts, and with the current conditions, it’s an excellent time to get on the water.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to inshore fishing, now is the perfect opportunity to experience some of the best trout fishing we’ve seen in recent weeks. The bite is strong, the weather is cooperating, and the fish are hungry.
