What a day!!! An excellent group trip today with some of my best friends Capt's. Mark Zorn and Rick Spratt and we fished the Killebrew party. My team was Brad, Bob and Tim and we ran offshore for the day. Excellent sheepshead action, with the big fish of the year being caught weighing over 10lbs. The grouper were active as we landed several for catch and release photos and some bonus species. Brad caught a huge black drum and Bob landed a very cool trigger fish. The other boats did fantastic on trout, macks and a pompano. A really fun day and I thank you all for the great time. Here's the end of the day total, and the group is going to have one heck of a fish fry... Capt. Dan

The bite is excellent for the convict fish. What an awesome day offshore with Terry, Ryan and Roy and did we ever keep the rods bent. I ran back offshore once again to the sheepshead grounds and the action was fantastic. We kept a good dozen of fine sheepshead and released well over twenty, with most of them over the 5lb range. Perfect conditions made for a smooth ride, but no triple tail today. The team added a trout and flounder to the mix and a great day is in the books. I thank you all for the fun time and I always look forward to fishing with you... Capt. Dan

March is the turn around month for us here on the Nature Coast and as winter rolls behind us, a whole new bunch of species come in to play. Pat and Michael were my guests today and with weak mid day tides, offshore was the plan again. Sheepshead, grunts, grouper and a couple bonus triple tail were the species for us. The sheepshead bite was excellent once again and we encountered some real large fish in excess of 5lbs while releasing over a dozen of that size. A couple drops on various rocks filled out our day; until we ran the crab trap buoys and encountered a few triple tail. It's that time of year again and they are always a welcomed bonus catch for the day. I thank you both for an excellent trip and look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan

Calm conditions on the big pond today and Jeff, Steve and David had a beautiful day. This was a sheepshead trip and with the recent cold front, they were on fire. We dropped down on a couple rock piles and did great. The gag grouper were active as well and even though we did land a couple keeper sized fish on 10lb test, several more broke us off. Live shrimp on a knocker rig was the bait of choice and in a couple more days, I'll be leaving the sheepshead alone until next year. Thank you all for the great day and congratulations on a fine catch... Capt. Dan
