A really good afternoon 1/2 day trip with my great friends Capt. William Toney and Mark Zorn fishing the Manriki party out of Macrae's. We left at 11am to fish the afternoon incoming tide and the bite was really good. The entire group caught their limit of red fish and everyone had a blast. I had Rhonda and Debbie on board and these ladies caught some fine red fish; including Rhonda's big upper slot red. I hope to see you all soon... Capt. Dan
Today I finished up a great week long trip with Jim and he had quite the week. From jumping and landing tarpon, casting artificials for red fish and snook, cobia on the fly and bottom bumping for grouper; it was fantastic. The weather hurt us a bit for the tarpon game later in the week, so we hit the back country and really did well. Yesterday and today, we fished the North side of "Chazz" and we boated 18 red fish and 11 snook mainly using DOA glow jerk baits. We kept it simple and I poled the shore lines while he shot gunned cast, the rocky structures. I truly enjoyed the week and I'll see you in Wyoming in a couple weeks... Capt. Dan
A fantastic day with Jim on board and today, we had the variety show going on. The gulf is hot at 88 degrees but the fishing is still quite good. The day began as we brought a fine tarpon boat side, for the morning hours. Tarpon are always welcomed, but the next surprise, a cobia popped up and we caught it on the fly rod. To keep the variety going, I made a stop on a grouper ledge and Jim tackled a couple gags up to just under the keeper size. As we ended this great day, a nice slot red fish came on board and two hefty snook threw the jerk baits back at us to finish up our trip. An awesome day and thank you for the fun time... Capt. Dan
My yearly tarpon trip with Mr. Joe and we had a good day. We had a stiff West wind to contend with, but we toughed it out and found a couple happy tarpon. We jumped a couple fish and brought a fun size fish about 50lbs boat side. Joe did great and I always look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
