A big group today out of the Plantation on Crystal River with fellow Captains Mark Zorn, Rick Spratt, Clay Shidler, Zach Hoffman and Kelly Kofmehel. We had the pleasure of fishing the ATS company and they did awesome. Great catches of red fish, snook, grouper, Spanish mackerel, black drum, flounder and grunts were brought back to the dock. My team did great with some red fish, a limit of mangrove snapper and a couple offshore surprise snook to fill out the day. A great day for the entire group and I thank you all for the fantastic day.... Capt. Dan

An awesome mixed bag today out of Crystal River with Jason and Deanna on board and it sure was good to be in the sunshine. I picked up the couple at the Plantation on Crystal River and we began the day targeting red fish. Our first stop produced four nice keepers and then the dolphins showed up and shut us down. With a fine of red fish on live shrimp, we made our way west and anchored down on some ledges. Grunts, mangrove snapper, lady fish and mackerel kept us busy while we sent down live shrimp on knocker rigs. The action was great, but I wanted to try a favorite spot to add a grouper to the mix. So, we made a couple mile run and found the gags. The grouper bite was excellent and we were able to turn three fine keepers,  plus a couple got the best of us as well. A fantastic day with finally some great weather - I thank you both for the great time... Capt. Dan

A shortened trip today due to the weather of course, but we were able to get a couple hours in. Tommy and Rodney were on board with me for the day and even though the forecast wasn't good, we gave it a try. I stayed close to the salt river area with storms on the horizon and we caught three nice keepers red fish, some shorts and a handful of snapper on a couple stops. Free lined live shrimp around the points were our baits of the day and it sure was good to be back on the water - even though it was just for a short amount of time. I'm hoping the weather pattern changes soon and thank you both for a fun morning... Capt. Dan

Not to favorable to make it out the last couple of days. On and off rain storms and a steady SW wind have made it cumbersome to make it offshore. Hopefully, the weather pattern will change in a couple days and we'll be back on the water.... Capt. Dan

We had to go to plan B today and our original goal of grouper fishing just wasn't going to happen. I had Jeff, Manny and Jeff of board in hopes of digging up some gags. We made it to the bait stop and filled the live well with pin fish, but the storms built quickly and some had a few water spouts. So, we left the outside and hid in the back country and free lined live pin fish on the rocky points. The guys caught a couple fine mid slot reds to make the day a success and we called it a day after the tide topped out. Thank you all for the fun time and look forward to doing it again soon. Here's Manny with a salt rive red fish that couldn't resist a live pin fish.. Capt. Dan

Excellent mangrove snapper action today on the ledges and "wow" the bite was on. I had Kevin and his family on board for the day and we spent the day offshore. Our first stop after leaving Pete's Pier marina was filling the live well with pin fish in preparation for some grouper fishing. To get the day started, we sent down some shrimp on knocker rigs and loaded up on the mangrove snapper and grunts. The snapper bite was as good as I've seen it and it was non stop action. With our limit of mango's, we spent the rest of the day trying for some shallow water gags. We sure had some good grouper on, but they got the best of us and unfortunately broke us off. I thank you all for he fun time and look forward to seeing you in the future... Capt. Dan

What a fun day with a great father and son team today out of Crystal River. Steve and Stevie joined me for some rod bending fun. We fished a couple different rock piles and ledges and found a nice assortment. Grouper, mangrove snapper and grunts kept us busy and Stevie at just seven years old did awesome. The guys did great and brought home a fine catch for a good upcoming dinner. Thank you both for a fun time and look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan

A nice 1/2 day Crystal River Charter with Bo and Josh on board and these young guys did fine. We shoved off from Pete's Pier Marina just before 8am and made our way south. With fished the Fish Creek area and free lined live shrimp in the mullet schools and found some red fish. The guys caught a couple keepers and a few under slot reds to fill out the morning. I made a couple drifts on some deeper grass patches for some trout, but only came up with one keeper and several shorts. It was calm conditions and we just weren't covering any water. Still, we had a great time and thanks again guys... Capt. Dan

Perfect weather once again and we were able to make it offshore to tackle some grouper. I had David and Steve on board for their annual Crystal River grouper charter and we did great. The gags were caught on a combination of live pin fish and cut thread fin herring on a couple different ledges. I stumbled on a new spot today and we hooked in to some "big ones" we just couldn't stop. We'll get the ones that got the best of us next time and I thank you both for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Almost a mirror image as yesterdays charter and the Bosworth family did it again. Leaving from Macrae's just before 8am, we made a stop at Bonnie the bait lady and headed West. The first stop was catching some mangroves and grunts on the shallow rocks, then the grouper grounds. The gags were very cooperative and good sized fish once again. The team put a fine grouper limit in the cooler and then we made a couple drifts back towards shore for some trout. Several fine trout were added to the mix and a great couple days are in the books. I thank you all again for the fun time and I look forward to seeing you in the future... Capt. Dan
