An awesome grouper trip with Casey and Chris and we found the gags. Casey is the owner of Sodium fishing gear and his good friend and mine also; Chris joined us to target some Crystal River gags. We fished the 10ft range today and the bite was on. Using a combination of cut thread fin herring and live pin fish did the trick. We had a couple get the best of us, but we turned the majority of them to fill out a limit of fine grouper. Thank you both for the awesome day and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
Back to the inshore scene today with the Riley team and we had a blast. The wind was up out of the NE and we weren't able to go offshore, so we had a fun day red fishing and picking up a few trout. The team and I had to cover some ground to get on the red fish, but we soon found a nice little school and had some fantastic action. For almost 30 minutes, we caught one every cast and the team loved it. A great day to start off the first official day of fall and I thank you for the wonderful time... Capt. Dan
A big day for me today as I worked with the "In the Spread" film crew and made my first instructional DVD. We featured shallow water grouper techniques, tackle and how to specifically target these fish. We had a great day off Homosassa and the video will be avaibale soon at www. inthespread.com. I really enjoyed the day with you all and thank you for a fun time... Capt. Dan
The calmest I've seen the gulf in quite sometime and I believe you could have taken a canoe offshore today. I had the pleasure of having the Worthington family on board for a grouper trip and we headed West. I have not been to the 25ft range in a while and was anxious to go there myself. I have to pick and choose my days to run to that range since I have a bay boat; but when the opportunity rises - I'm there. Today was glass, flat calm conditions and it was a breeze running offshore. We anchored on a couple low profile rocks and did great. The team brought in a fine limit of gag grouper using a combination of both live and cut thread fin herring baits. A perfect day and I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan
