Another beautiful day on the big pond with Lauren, Gary and Dan and the team had an excellent trip. I began the day on the 2.3 ft tide we had in the morning in hopes of red fishing, but it was NOT happening. After several stops and nothing, we headed to the flats and got on the trout. We fished DOA jerk baits in the shallow areas and MirrOlure Lil' Johns a bit offshore in the 7ft range. The guys caught a little variety with some grouper, sea bass and mackerel to fill out the afternoon. I really enjoy my days with you all and congratulations on a fine catch... Capt. Dan
A great spring day with Ron, Malcolm and Jeff on board and we did great on the trout and red fish. The steady SW wind we had all day, pushed the water in and we had a decent tide most of the day. Red fish were our first order and we caught some nice keepers and a beast of an over slot to start the day. The tide starting getting a bit low around 11am, so we changed gears and began targeting trout. DOA glow jerk baits delivered and did awesome. The team brought home a fine catch of trout and really did well despite the windy conditions. Thank you all as always for the great time... Capt. Dan
A fun day and a good variety with my great friends Mishel and Earl out of the Plantation on Crystal River. We did a little mix today of trolling for grouper and back country red fish and trout. The grouper bite was off a bit, but we caught a nice 25" gag that posed for a quick photo before we sent her home. Next up on the incoming tide, we free lined some shrimp on the rocky points and did well on the red fish and trout. We released seven reds, a couple trout and another great day out of Crystal River was in the books. I always enjoy my days with you both and thank you for fun time... Capt. Dan
We covered the inside and out spectrum with Rick and Wannie on board today and the guys had a blast. I began the day where we left the trout yesterday and the bite was great. We drifted the shallow hard bottom area's with DOA jerk baits and did very well. The fish were concentrated on the yellow hard bottom area's and in a couple hours we had fifteen fine trout in the box. Sheepshead were the next request, so I made a run to some ledges and did well to finish up the day. A really fun time, I thank you both and hope to see you soon... Capt. Dan
