A picture perfect day offshore Crystal River with Steve and Frank and all I can can say is "awesome". The bite was incredible in 20ft of water and one stop produced a limit of grouper, mangrove snapper, grunts and some bonus hog fish. The sea's were nice with a slight roll out of the South and it was a smooth ride to the grouper grounds. Live shrimp produced the snapper and live pin fish did the trick for the grouper. I thank you both for a great day and congratulations on your catch... Capt. Dan
Not the super hot bite I've been experiencing the last few days, but we hung in there and found the big ones. I had Steve and David on board out of the Plantation on Crystal River and the guys did awesome. The grouper bite was slow and I blame it on the terrible tides, we have for the next couple of days. We picked up a pair on the out going and when the afternoon incoming eventually started to come in; the gags lit up and we finished off our limit. Large quality live baits have been the trick and palm sized pin fish are working beautifully. I thank you both for the good time and here's Steve with today's big Crystal River gag grouper... Capt. Dan
An incredible day offshore Crystal River with Bill and Fred and these guys did outstanding. I began the day filling the live well from my pin fish trap and running to some shallow rocks. The shallow grouper bite was a bit slow with one keeper coming on board and a few battles with some bruiser sting rays "wow they can pull." The seas were perfect for an offshore ride, so our next stop was the 20ft range and it was on. The team quickly finished off their grouper limit in short order. After the gags, we sent down some live shrimp on knocker rigs and caught some of the largest mangrove snapper to date. The snapper bite was awesome and a great way to top off the day. Thank you both for the good time and happy birthday Bill... Capt. Dan
Another fantastic day on the rock piles with Dan and Rick out of the Plantation on Crystal River and we had a great time. I met the team at the dock at 8am and we headed West. I mad the run to some shallow rock piles in 12ft of water, anchored up and sent down the pin fish. In less than 20 minutes we had our limit of gags and began using shrimp on knocker rigs for the grunts and mango's. The action was excellent and with a box full of goodies, we called it a day. Thank you both for the fun time and I look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan
