A very good 1/2 day charter this morning with Eric and Josie on board and this father and daughter team did great. I picked up the family at the Plantation on Crystal River just after 8am, and we had fish on; right out of the gate. The jacks and lady fish were harassing the bait fish in the bay and we immediately had hooks ups. Always fun to pull on both species, but we left them and headed on down the river. I anchored on one of my favorite river rock piles in the river and the red fish were on fire. We caught numerous red fish with just a shrimp on a jig head. While most were shorts; we had some keeper sized too. To end the day, we topped off the trip with some fine sized sea bass on a shallow rock and then headed back to the dock. I thank you both for the great day and enjoy the rest of your vacation... Capt. Dan
It was blowing straight out of the south, but it brought the water in and we had a great afternoon red fish tide. I had Marty and Collin on board for an afternoon red fish trip and the father and son team did great. We jumped around from the North shore off Crystal River, to some of the oyster bars in the Salt River. We hit a couple spots with no fish and some with a few on them had some fine keepers to show for our efforts. Free lined live shrimp under a DOA deadly combo cork was the bait of the day and the guys had a great time. I thank you both and I look forward to seeing you in the future... Capt. Dan
Just about the last decent day according to the upcoming weather forecast, and I was glad to have the Noto family on board for a great Crystal River charter. We left the dock just a little before 9am and we made our way offshore. The fishing was quite good on all the area's we targeted ranging from rock piles and ledges. Live shrimp on a knocker rig worked great for the sheepshead, plus some bonus sea bass and grouper too. The team caught well over twenty keepers, but we didn't quite keep that many and released several throughout the day. I thank you all for the great time and I look forward to seeing you in the future... Capt. Dan
The great weather continues for us here in Citrus County and today, was another good one on the big pond. I had Cam and Justin on board for the day and the action was great. This charter was just about a mirror image as yesterday's trip, but I did run a bit farther offshore in search of some sheepshead. The sheepshead cooperated nicely and some good gags got us too. We wrapped up the trip with some trout and I can't thank you both enough for the great day... Capt. Dan
