Wow! What a day on the shallow rocks. We were at the Homosassa Fishing Club for day two fishing the Stribling party and my team did great. My team was outstanding and since it was just a catch and release trip; I said let's check on the shallow water grouper. I ran to the rock piles and we cast plugs to check on the gags and it was awesome. We totaled nine keeper gags on Rapala F18's, took some great pictures and sent them home. Also for the day, we drifted the grass patches in 9ft of water off Homosassa and had a mix. Trout, lady fish, blue fish, sea bass and more sharks than I could count, kept us busy when were weren't tackling the grouper. What a day and I thank Tyler and Nick for the fun day... Capt. Dan
A great day out of the Homosassa Fishing Club with the Stribling party and my team knocked out the trout. We made the run south of "Chazz" and drifted the shallow hard bottom areas with DOA glow jerk baits. The bite was excellent and we actually sight fished quite a few of them. By noon the guys had their limit and we spoon fed some small reds and a snook to cap off the day. A beautiful spring day and I thank everyone for the fun time... Capt. Dan
Day three and the final day with the West party out of the Homosassa Fishing Club and it was another good one. Today's crew of Paul, John and Mike were my team and we made the run south to "Chazz" to find some trout. The team and I did great using DOA glow jerk baits over the shallow hard bottom area's catching the trout; before the white caps and wind got the best of us. Around noon, the wind just got to bad and we made our way back North to find a red fish. We caught a nice keeper red and hooked two snook that chewed through the leader before we could bring them boat side. A fantastic couple days of fishing and I thank everyone from the West party for the fun time... Capt. Dan
Day two at the Homosassa Fishing Club fishing the West party and my team and I made the run offshore today. I had Tom, Tommy and Herbert on board for the ride West until we hit the 17ft range. We anchored and had some excellent action on Cobia, grunts and grouper. Tom landed a nice keeper cobia, Tommy had an under slot and Herbert was on grunt patrol. Lots of great fun and we ran back to the grass patches in 7ft of water and picked up 8 keeper trout to end the day. I thank you all for the great day and congratulations Tom on your first keeper cobia... Capt. Dan
