Just about a perfect day as one could ask for and Valerie and John had a great one. I met the couple at Pete's Pier Marina, "there was ramp maintenance at the Plantation" and we made our way out. The tide was looking good for red fishing, so we hit a couple outer keys; free lined some live shrimp and did well. Keeping it simple by targeting red fish in the mullet schools produced our best bites. The next plan was grouper land and it was ON. From trolling to casting plugs, we had some stellar action. A fun time with you both and I really look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan
A couple days off for routine maintenance and wear and tear repairs; but back at it today. I had originally cancelled today and it was not a pretty day out there for sure; but I put on the Simms rain gear and my buddy Pat was ready to give it a try. I picked up Pat at his house on the river and made a run to some of my favorite grouper rocks. The sky was dark and it soon began raining, but we hung in there and caught some fine grouper. Natural colored plugs were the flavor of the day for the gags. A fun "wet" day and I thank you for the great time... Capt. Dan
My final day ending a four great day fishing extravaganza with Phil and Matt. These last couple days have been quite memorable and the catches, have been fantastic. Today was another awesome trip out of Homosassa and my man Matt was on the hog fish. Matt had the hod rod and brought in six hog fish on hook and line, while Phil was the grouper man today. The weather was absolutely perfect for November and I can't thank you both enough for all the fun times. Here's the crew with a catch to be proud of... Capt. Dan
What another great day on the water with "Uncle" Phil. Today was on me, as we just fished as friends as a thank you for the many trips we've done together. We went plug casting for grouper and did very well. We put three nice keepers on ice pretty quick and caught our fourth fish trolling. The sea's were a little rough, but definitely worth our effort. The afternoon consisted of jerk baiting some shallow hard bottom flats for trout with DOA glow jerk baits and did awesome. Almost all keeper sized trout and lucked into one nice red fish to end our day. A fun relaxing day buddy and I look forward to back to work tomorrow for our final day... Capt. Dan
