I truly do not think you could have ordered up a more beautiful day than today's Crystal River Charter. I had two great anglers, Johnny and Scott on board and we had a blast. The trout action was a little slow compared to yesterday, but we did well using a combination of DOA jerk baits and MirrOlure Lil' Johns. The team caught a fine limit of trout and next, we ran to some sheepshead structures and did well. The sheepshead were on, as well as the usual grouper and bonus sea bass. A fantastic trip and I thank you both for the fun time... Capt. Dan
What a day!!! An unbelievable catch & release day for my team out of Homosassa today and the trout bite was good as it gets. I had my crew of young anglers on board with David, Henry and Robinson ready to go. These young men are absolutely awesome anglers and it showed. We used jerk baits most of the day and the guys caught some serious trout. Every drift produced several trout and I honestly can say we hooked over 30 keeper sized trout through out the day. We gently released most of them and only kept a handful that were hooked deep. Some big bruiser jacks were added to the day and I thank you all for the fun time. Here's my tarpon man Robinson from last years big tarpon day, with a beautiful Homosassa trout ready for release... Capt. Dan
You wouldn't know it's almost January with the weather lately, and it sure has the fish in a different pattern then years past. I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club today fishing the Smith party and the guys did great. I began the day on the out going tide using DOA glow jerk baits targeting trout. I was on the flats where we usually fish in the Spring time of year and the action was great. If you're looking for trout right now and if you see the pelicans diving off the keys; you'll be in the right area. The guys had their trout fix and we ran to a couple rock piles to fill out the afternoon with a mixed catch. A beautiful day and I thank you all for the great time... Capt. Dan
Well, Christmas vacation is over and it was back to work today. On today's Crystal River charter, I had Sasha and his family visiting from Russia on board. The trip was just a 1/2 day charter, so I kept it simple and ran to some rock piles and caught a mixed bag. Grunts, sea bass, grouper, mackerel.... etc, kept us busy all morning long. The team didn't speak a lot of English, but we had a fun time and I learned to say yes, no and Vodka in Russian. We had a great catch and called it a day just after noon. Thank you all and enjoy all the fresh fish... Capt. Dan
