Well, our full day trip was cut short to a 1/2 day Homosassa Charter, due to the rain storms. Today I had the pleasure of fishing long time Homosassa Fishing Club members John Maddox and Carter Smith. These gentlemen have been fishing here their entire lives and you should here the stories of the "good old days". The guys did well today and caught half a dozen red fish with three fine keepers for a couple hours of fishing. Unfortunately, the weather got bad, so we called it a day. I thank you both for the fun time and we'll see you soon... Capt. Dan

A fine mixed bag today and a great family to enjoy it. Hunter, Patrick and Phillip joined me today out of the Plantation on Crystal River for a day of bending the rod. I had a nice "much needed" weekend off to rest up for another long stretch and today, I was ready to go get them. Targeting some red fish on the outer keys on the outgoing tide started our day and the young boys each caught a keeper before the water dropped out - and then headed offshore. The shallow rocks were on fire with plenty of snapper, grunts, small gags and four nice keeper flounder kept us busy through out the day. A fun time and I thank you all for the great trip. Here's Hunter with one of our beautiful Crystal River flounder.. Capt. Dan

Good news offshore anglers, I just received an email from NOAA fisheries and they extended the red grouper season to Oct.4th. This year the season was to close on Sept. 16th, but based upon updated landings; the season is extended. Red grouper action has been excellent in 30ft-45ft of water. Good fishing.. Capt. Dan

Today was a day that you dream about and thankfully it was my day. I filmed an upcoming show with my great friend Capt. Bill Miller for the World Fishing Network and we found the gags. We fished the shallow rocks and caught some heavy weight gags and some other surprises. The show will air some time in 2015, so stay tuned and I "KNOW" you'll enjoy it.... Capt. Dan

A fine day on the water off Crystal River today with Bill and Kerry. These gentlemen did very well landing some fine shallow water grouper fishing the 10ft range, and there were some really quality sized gags. While in between the grouper bites, the snapper and grunts kept us busy as well with non stop action. Live shrimp on Hank Brown jig heads were the baits of choice. To wrap up the day, the guys had a fine catch of trout drifting the spotty bottom in the 7ft depth range. A great day and I thank you both for the fun time... Capt. Dan

A very fun day with some great friends and clients of mine, Bill and Nell. This was Bill's birthday trip and he did fantastic. Today's Crystal River charter began on the shallow ledges catching mangrove snapper, small gags and grunts. The husband and wife team put a fine eating catch in the cooler and Bill asked about giving trout a try. I said the trout bite hasn't been all that good from what I've heard, but we'll give it a try. Well, as luck would have it, we made a drift in the 7ft range and caught some fine keeper trout. Watermelon/red flake colored Lil' John's were the baits of choice and they were working fantastic. To finish up the day, the tide was just turning afternoon and we had just enough water to squeeze out a keeper red fish to end the charter. A really good day and I thank you both as always for the fun time... Capt. Dan

A little different trip for me today, but it was a great one. I had the pleasure of fishing my regular clients Lee and Clell in their beautiful 30ft Hydra-Sports center console and run offshore to the grouper grounds. I entered some of my favorite spots in my hand held GPS and we ran SW. We made two stops in the 30ft range and the red and gag grouper bite was fantastic. The team caught their limit of eight keepers and so many shorts, we lost count. We pulled anchor just before noon and headed back to the dock. A great day and I thank you both for a fun day. Here's the father and son team with a fine catch of Crystal River Grouper... Capt. Dan

A stellar day on the points for red fishing today and Amanda, Alyse and Tom did very well. We left Pete's Pier Marina just after 8am and made our way to the keys. The tide was just turning and it was quite shallow on the first spot. I did see a large school of red fish rise up, but I couldn't get to them in the big boat "I needed the silver king".... We were patient and as soon as the tide was right, we started catching some fine red fish. We totaled close to twenty red fish today with a couple over slot fish, some fine keepers and a few smaller upcoming stars. Live shrimp was the bait of the day and other than dodging a couple rain storms - it was perfect. I thank you all for the great day and here's the crew with Tom's big red fish of the day... Capt. Dan

A good tide and happy Homosassa Reds. It was day two at the Homosassa Fishing Club with the Scott party and the red fishing was fantastic. The whole group today did extremely well, and all the boats had double digit catches. The majority of the red fish were under size, but we all had a fine catch of keepers. My team of Blake Sr. & Jr. and Dudley, did great with seven nice slot fish and numerous little guys through out the morning. We pulled the anchor at 12:30 and finished up the afternoon with a great shore lunch. Two fun days of fishing and I thank you all for the great time... Capt. Dan

So much for the 40% chance of rain today and we got soaked. I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club today fishing the Scott party with my good friends Captains Mark Zorn, Rick Spratt, Clay Shidler and Jonathan Hamilton. Riland, Chip and Bill were with me for the day and with a good morning incoming tide, we found some red fish. The action was very good on the outer points using free lined live shrimp and we had a double digit day. The guys caught some nice lower slot red fish and then we had to run from the rain storms the rest of the day. All the other boats did good as well and I thank the entire group for the fun time... Capt. Dan
