My Boat The boat you will be taken out on is a Proline 24 Bay that I had specially built for my chartering business. It can be driven in as little as 12 inches of water to get to those hard to reach spots. It is powered by a Mercury OptiMax Salt Water 225hp engine that will get you to the fish in a hurry.
The Fish!!! You will catch Grouper, Sea Trout, Redfish, Snook, Cobia, Mackerel, Flounder, Ladyfish, Bonita, Kingfish, Snapper, Sharks, Seabass, And Jack Crevel.  There is a huge variety of easily catchable fish off the coast of Crystal River and Homosassa. 

Crystal River Sheepies Feb. 8th 2010

The sheepshead bite is still going strong off the Crystal River and Homosassa rock piles. With the recent high winds, the water is extremely dirty so it is important to give each spot a little extra time. I had a great charter today out of the Best Western "located on the Crystal River" for some great sheepshead action. Joining me today was Darrell, John and Matt. We started the day with some trout and lady fish just minutes from the hotel. Using DOA jigs in the glow color made for steady action and it was a good warm up for the chilly 40 degree morning temperature. Next, was a several mile run offshore, and the sheepshead were waiting. We boated 13 keepers and a few shorts for a busy afternoon. Live shrimp on a jig head did the trick once again. Thanks you guys for a great Crystal River charter and look forward to seeing you again in June. Here is John and Matt with a couple "convicts" from the gulf... Good Fishin'.. Capt. Dan
 

Going Fresh Feb.3rd 2010

We changed things up from the usual routine today. Capt. William Toney, Capt. Cade Burgdorf ( owner of the OutCast tackle shop in Homosassa) and myself had a fun day chasing down some largemouth bass and speckled perch on the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes outside of Inverness. My usual focus is usually inshore flats and offshore grouper fishing.  However, it is fun to change it up once in a while, and fish the fantastic freshwater fishery we have right here in Citrus County. There are miles and miles of shoreline on these lakes that have produced some huge largemouth bass over the years. We didn't catch that ten ponder but we did land a few specks and a couple chunky largemouth bass throughout the day. If your enjoy freshwater fishing you owe it to yourself to check out these lakes. Here is William with the first cast of the day, a beautiful lake Hernando bass... Capt. Dan
   

Homosassa Sheepies Jan.29th 2010

Another great day on the water! I had a great charter out of MacRae's today on the Homosassa river for some outstanding sheepshead and trout fishing. We left the dock at 9am and arrived at our first rock pile by 9:45 and the fishing was on. Sheepshead after sheepshead came into the boat. Most were well into the 2lb size and a couple went over 5lbs. My good friend and fellow Homosassa Guides Association member Capt. William Toney was right beside me and he did extremely good as well. We fished the shallow rock piles west of Homosassa and live shrimp either rigged on a jig head or a knocker rig with a #2 hook was the trick. After our cooler was full of sheepshead we targeted some trout and caught a few that couldn't resist a DOA jerk bait in the golden bream color. I want to thank Randy, Mark, Rob and Dan for a great time and look forward to another great charter in the future. Here is Rob with one of the big sheepsheads that made his way into the cooler...

Good Weather, Good Fishing. Jan.27th 2010

The weather was to perfect not got out today. Since I didn't have any scheduled charters until Friday, I asked my good friend Mitch, who is also a tackle manufacturer, to tag along and see what was biting on the Crystal River. Mitch is the owner of Grandpas Tackle company here in Crystal River and he supplies me with alot of my lead sinkers  I use for my grouper charters. We put the trolling motor down and we immediately caught some really nice trout. A few of them were over the 20" mark and all were released to fight another day. Along with the trout, a nice school of redfish was nearby. We boated 3 slot sized reds out of the school. Both the trout and redfish were taken on DOA jerk baits in the glow color. Here is Mitch with the first redfish of the day... Good Fishin' Capt. Dan

   

Sheepshead Season Jan.26th 2010

It's been a long time in the making, but the sheepshead are finally showing up.The arctic blast we experienced here in Crystal River and Homosassa a few weeks ago sent our gulf water temperature plummeting into the low 40's. These temperatures have delayed the much anticipated sheepshead from migrating inshore. However, the water temperature is back in the low 60's and the fish are moving in. Targeting the hard bottom areas between Crystal River and Homosassa will be the hot spots for the next couple of months. Grouper and trout are closed for the month of February; so fishing for these convict fish is a great "and tasty" alternative to take some fish home for a meal or two. Here is Ryan with a Crystal River sheepshead that could not resist a live shrimp... Good Fishin' Capt. Dan
