Crystal River Fishing Adventure for 2

Two lucky anglers will enjoy (2) full days of inshore fishing with two different professional guides in the pristine waters of Citrus County. There is nothing like fishing the backcountry creeks and bays of Citrus County for redfish, snook and trout. Both Capt. Brandon Branch and Capt. Jeremiah Carlucci have been fishing their home waters all of their lives. They are fun, energetic and love putting their clients on fish.

Capt. Jeremiah has been fishing on the nature coast for almost three decades. It is his passion and something that he loves to do. He runs a 24ft Shallow Sport that is made to run in the lowest of low tides. He uses top of the line Penn and Fenwick fishing equipment to make sure you land that fish of a lifetime!

Capt. Brandon grew up fishing the backcountry and grass flats of Crystal River and Homosassa. His passion is putting his clients on a great bite and also sharing his lifelong passion and knowledge of the area. His 24' Young Boats Gulfshore is specially designed for fishing Citrus County waters. Capt. Brandon relies on Fitzgerald rods and Shimano reels to give you the best chance of catching that trophy fish!

If that's not enough, our great friends at The Plantation on Crystal River donated accommodations for two guests (double occupancy) at their beautiful resort! The Crystal River hotel is a beautiful 50-year-old, 232-acre eco-friendly resort offering comfortable accommodations, a full-service spa, and is surrounded by the natural springs of Kings Bay. This bay in Crystal River is one of the largest aquifers in the state and home to more than 400 West Indian manatees that migrate each year to the warmth of the springs. Their onsite activities range from golf to boating and fishing with so much in-between, and they offer several specials and packages to help sculpt your perfect vacation! There's always something fun to do at Plantation on Crystal River!

Trip must be booked on mutually agreeable dates within one year of purchase. Trip is not valid on major holidays or during scallop season. Does not include gratuity.

96" Shaft 36V Rhodan Precision GPS Guided Trolling Motor

***New Product Alert*** The 96" shaft is the longest in the industry and has only recently been offered to the public! Be the first of your friends to sport a 96" shaft trolling motor. Please note, because of the limited production of this item, there may be a short wait time to receive. This product is proudly made in the USA and is a Florida based company. Buy American, shop local, support CCA.

Check out the official trolling motor of CCA Florida. GPS guided and wireless controlled, this unique Trolling Motor is designed to improve your fishing experience. This patented system has evolved to its present configuration over years of use by its inventor. When you find a spot where the fish are biting, touch the anchor button on the fob and the GPS Guided Trolling Motor will automatically keep the bow of the boat within a few feet of the spot while you concentrate on the fish.

Experience High Definition Boat Positioning. The GPS Anchor is a Virtual Anchor, an Auto Pilot, and a wireless trolling motor all in one remarkable package!

Virtual Anchor. Rhodan's GPS guided trolling motor will hold your boat position with precision accuracy in any depth of water, completely unattended.

Anchor Jog. Ever wish you could adjust your anchor location? The GPS Anchor Trolling Motor's Jog feature will allow you to fine tune your position, with precision 5-foot increments in four directions.

Precision. The GPS Anchor utilizes a proprietary WAAS enabled high definition (HD) GPS receiver that is optimized for slow speeds and stationary positioning. The advanced receiver provides the GPS Anchor with sub-meter accuracy which enables the system to respond instantly to nail the location. Unlike similar products which shut off when close to the anchor site, the GPS Anchor is constantly active, adjusting immediately to the smallest changes in position. This allows for substantially tighter position control under a much wider range of weather conditions. A further advantage of the Rhodan's "always active" control is lower power consumption. By making corrections as soon as the boat begins to move there is less inertia to overcome and thus the motor consumes less power to hold position.

Dual Tilt Compensated Compasses. The patented dual compass approach used in the Rhodan GPS Anchor allows for numerous advantages over competitive products. In addition to enabling boat heading related functions such as the Anchor Jog or Track features it also assists in tighter position control and prevention of cord wrap up. Perhaps the most important and least noticed feature is that it enables the system to soften its response should the thruster be pointed sideways to the boat in anchor mode. This virtually eliminates unexpected rapid side shifts which can unbalance the boat's occupants.

Rhodan Marine Systems has incorporated a remarkable micro-computer module that utilizes a high definition GPS receiver to monitor and control the trolling motor.

Our quiet and powerful thruster delivers 120 pounds thrust (36V) by industry standards. Each system includes a wireless fob, a quick release mount, and an efficient 3-bladed propeller! Your new motor will be shipped directly to your local Maverick Boat Group or Contender dealer.
