The O'kelly group was in town at the Homosassa Fishing Club and we had a full day with a fun bunch of guys. Bill and Craig joined me for the day and we found some beautiful skinny water trout. We fished on the hard bottom areas off the keys and DOA glow jerk baits and Deadly combos did the trick. We put 8 nice trout in the box and ended the day on the high tide, with a couple red fish. Craig caught a 31" beauty and the others were all on the short side. I thank you all for the great time and here's the big one from today... Capt. Dan
A cancellation for today's scheduled charter, but it worked out great because I was able to spend the day with my other half. I've been determined to learn more of the Chassahowitzka area and after sleeping in a bit, we did just that. We shoved off from Macrae's just after 9:30am and eased or way south. An absolute picture perfect day and the water was crystal clear. I eased in an area south of the Chazz channel and found some fine trout. There's some "scary" bottom down there for sure, but it was great to find some new territory to work on. DOA glow jerk baits and glow shrimp deadly combos were the baits of choice for our day down south. We took our time coming back home and I finished up giving Becky a great ride through Mason creek. Here's my copilot with a fine Chazz trout... Capt. Dan
The last day with the West party in town and today's charter was a morning of fishing and an afternoon shore lunch. I had Herbert, Bert and David on board and my team jigged up a couple offshore trout, macks and finished up back inside with some red fish. The lady fish invasion is in full swing and when your not getting a trout strike, you can bet a lady fish is soon to follow. The action is always fun out there this time of year and you never know what that next cast will bring. We had some tide to work with to find a red fish before we met at the island, but all the ones we encountered were on the short side. A fine shore lunch was in the books and I really enjoyed these couple days with you all. Here's David with a beauty of a Homosassa Spanish Mackerel... Capt. Dan
It was day two with the West party and we picked up the gang at the Homosassa Fishing Club and made our way to the Homosassa flats. I had Lee, Jerry and Tommy for the day and we began our day making our way South of "Chazz" pt. We fished the shallow rocky flats and found a couple hefty trout to start our day. The first trout of the day was the big one and definitely got our day started right. With a couple big fish on board, we ran offshore to the shallow rocks to keep the rods bent steadily. We reached the 7ft range and did great with plenty of trout, mackerel, sea bass and numerous lady fish fro the afternoon. We had top boat honors with thirteen keeper trout to end the day and I thank you guys for the great time. Here's Jerry with a beautiful Chazz "Gator" trout.... Capt. Dan
