I was a bit worried with today's forecast with the high winds; but it turned out to be a beautiful day and the bite turned back on. I had Kay, Bill and Tom on board for the day and we stayed in the river for the morning hours. The trip began out quite breezy and we fished around the springs catching mangrove snapper to get the day going. We sure caught a bunch, but mostly shorts with about 8 keepers before we headed down the river. You could see the smoke stacks at the power plant starting to rise and I knew we could make it offshore. I made a couple mile run and we found some fine sheepshead jumping rock to rock to finish up the day. I thank you all for the great day and I look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan
Not a hot bite for us today, but we managed to catch a couple fine sheepshead. I had Rich and Janet on board out of Crystal River for the day and we fished some of my south locations for sheepshead. The team and I fished a couple different spots, but the bite was really slow. We had a front come through during the day and the wind swapped from the SW to NW in just a couple hours. The front may have had an effect on the fishing, but the largest sheepshead of season was caught today and it sure was a beauty. A fun day and I thank you both for the great time... Capt. Dan
I guess I shouldn't complain and I do feel for the people up North right now, but it sure was nice to have some good weather today. I had Clell and Lee on board for the day and we were able to run offshore and tackle some sheepsheaed. The sea's were absolutely perfect and we fished the 15ft to 20ft range for the day. The sheepshead bite was very good and on all the stops produced some fine sheep's. A beautiful day and I thank you both as always for the great time... Capt. Dan
Kind of a last minute outing today with my good friend Capt. Jonathan Hamilton and he took me in the Homosassa backcoutry for a couple hours. It's just been to windy to take my clients out to the winter sheepshead grounds and unfortunately, I've been off the water because of the conditions. Today though, Jonathan and I were going stir crazy to say the least and we had to go for a boat ride. We ran his Maverick skiff though the Mason creek area and we're able to pole down a shore line out of the wind. I was lucky enough to put the fly in front of a couple red fish and one of them cooperated nicely. It's actually been quite a while for me to connect with a red fish on the long rod and thanks bud for a fun couple hours. Next time, you're on the front of the boat... Capt. Dan
