A very special day with the Novinger family and we all had a ball, as it was Jaca's birthday. The family had a great trip and after picking them up at their dock on the river; we started the day in the shallow water with DOA jerk baits catching some trout. The morning was a little slow, but when then the tide starting coming; the trout bite was great - just like yesterday. The team put together a fine catch of trout and we then tackled some reds for the afternoon. We boated around five reds fish with a couple keepers, under slots and a big dog to finish off our day. I had a great time with you all and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
A beautiful day with Ron, Dean and Jim from the Villages Deep Sea Fishing Club and the guys had an awesome catch of trout and red fish. The day began a little bit slow as the tide was dumping out pretty low, but as I ensured the team; once it turns the bite will turn on. " If I can ever give any one any advice - the tides play a HUGE role on when and where the fish feed every day". That being said, once the tide started coming in, we hit the creek mouths with DOA glow jerk baits and did awesome. Juts a couple drifts produced a limit of trout and we then jumped right in to red fishing. A couple points with free lined live shrimp did the trick on the red fish, and a great day was had by all. I look forward to next time with you guys and thanks again for the fun time... Capt. Dan
Always a great time with Joe and Joanne and we did the traditional trout and red fish day today. We had to cover some ground for the trout as they really didn't cooperate in one place to well. However, we persevered and made a great day of Jigging MirrOlure Lil' Johns and using DOA jerk baits. Thank you both as always for the fun time and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
An unbelievable day with my great friend and team mate Capt. Clay Shidler and we had the pleasure of fishing the Kennedy party out of the Plantation on Crystal River. My crew of Mike, Jacob and Mike had an absolute fantastic trip targeting trout, red fish and a few Spanish mackerel. From offshore jigging, free lining shrimp and shallow water jerk baits; the team had an awesome day. Both boats had a great catch of trout, red fish and Clay's team had a couple fine triple tail to add to the mix. We both really enjoyed the day and we look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
