What an unbelievable day at the Homosassa Fishing Club fishing the Smith party and myself and fellow Captains Mark Zorn, Rick Spratt, Jim Long, Jody Johnson and William Toney filled the boxes. Excellent trout action on the flats just off the keys and Glow DOA jerk baits across the board were the baits for the teams today. I had Matt, Robinson and Bill and my crew had a fine catch of sixteen trout and a red fish for the days total. Some other mixed species were brought in as well and what a beautiful spring day in Homosassa. Here's the entire father and son team group with an outstanding catch... Capt. Dan

Hello everyone and it sure was good to be back fishing and I'm definitely feeling better. I had a couple down days with the flu and it hit me hard. I fished on one of them (Wednesday) with high fever and I'll just say "an upset stomach", but I hung in there and we caught a few trout and macks before I surrendered to get some rest. However, today I was back on my game and Matt and Steve had an excellent trip catching trout and red fish. We fished the skinny water with DOA jerk baits for the trout and free lined some live shrimp for the reds. A really good day out of Crystal River and thank you to the Plantation for being their hosts for a fun couple days... Capt. Dan
It's just about that time, when you can run offshore a couple miles and find a mixed bag of fish. I had the Blood family on board and we did just that. I ran the guys out to about 6ft to 8ft of water and made some long drifts. The actions wasn't fast, but we found some trout, sea bass, blue fish and mackerel to kept us busy. MirrOlure Lil' Johns in the bourbon and root beer colors were the baits today. We left the outside and made our way inside to find some red fish. Only shorts again for us, but fun all the same. I thank you all for the fun time and look forward to see you again... Capt. Dan

An afternoon 1/2 day trip with Bryant, Cliff and Logan and we found a couple nice trout. We left the dock at noon and fished the late incoming tide. After yesterdays monsoon, I was glad to find some fish. We had a stiff NW wind to contend with, so we drifted inside the keys to find the trout. Glow DOA jerk baits were the bait of the day and we picked up a few under slot reds to end our trip. A fun time and I thank you all for the great afternoon... Capt. Dan
