The grouper were on the feed this morning on the outgoing tide and today's team did great. Bobby and Fred were my guests today and trolling gags was the name of the game. It seems the grass is bad one day and very fish-able the next. Well today, is was fish-able and very productive. In just a couple hours, the guys caught four beautiful grouper on Rapala CD 14 trolling plugs. We added a couple trout to the mix, but the inshore scene was a little slow; and wrapped up the day. A fun time and I look forward to fishing with you all again soon... Capt. Dan
Definitely not the hot bite like yesterdays trip, but we hung in there and found a couple gags. I think I was cursed with the full moon blues today and it was a VERY slow start for the day. I had the Dulane family on board and we jumped around a lot and worked for the bites we had. We caught several short grouper and finally at the end of the day, a couple good ones got happy. We worked for them, but I thank you all for your patience and hanging in there. I look forward to next time and enjoy the grouper dinners... Capt. Dan
A really nice day offshore Crystal River with Shane and Bart on board and in two stops; they had a great catch. I made a run to the South today in the 28ft range and did some bottom fishing. It was two grassy to troll, so bottom fishing was going to be the plan. The grouper were slamming both live and dead baits and in a short time, the team had their four gags. i changed over to live shrimp on knocker rigs and we began catching a nice variety. Mangrove snapper, hog fish, grunts and Spanish mackerel kept us busy for the afternoon and I thank you all for the great day... Capt. Dan
We had a couple hours of decent weather for the morning hours, but it hit 2nd gear and got rough. The wind unfortunately cut the grouper fishing short for us today, but not before the Dulane family caught some nice grouper. I was trolling once again and the floating grass made it quite frustrating. Yesterday, there really wasn't an issue with it; but today it was challenging. We fought through it though and this fun family did well. Plenty of grouper dinner for them and I thank you all for the great time... Capt. Dan
