A nice mix today on both some inshore and offshore fishing. I had some great friends from high school on board that I haven't seen in quite sometime and we had a blast. From jigging trout, to dropping knocker rigs on the rock piles; the bite was on today. The team had a great mix of trout, sheepshead, grouper, trigger fish, grunts and hog fish. A couple of the species we caught today, the seasons were closed; but we had a blast catching and releasing. I really enjoyed the day and I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan

An incredible day on the big pond with Steve and Paul and the guys had a day to remember. Today we began targeting trout and we did very well on MirrOlure Lil' Johns, before we ran to the rock piles in search of a mixed bag. After a great catch of trout, we dropped down some live shrimp and the team had some unbelievable action. Grouper, sea bass, pompano and sheepshead kept us busy for the afternoon and the action was excellent. I thank you both for a very memorable day and I always look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

Three days in a row of beautiful December weather and Frank and Scott hit it out of the park today. The guys and I left from the Plantation on Crystal River just before 9am to catch the tide right, and the bite was one. We targeted trout again for the morning hours and the bite was good. The team caught some fine Crystal River trout on MirrOlure Lil' Johns, then we took a gamble. I have been itching to see if the sheepshead have showed up and we checked one of my winter time haunts to see if they were there. Well, yes they are and we caught quite a few; plus lost over two dozen rigs to grouper also. A great day and I thank you both for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Another beautiful December day with Steve and Sherie and it was trout action once again. The couple was ready to go at 8am, as we pulled away from the Plantation on Crystal River. We targeted the rock bars with MirrO'lure Lil Johns and with a slow presentation along the bottom, the trout cooperated nicely. A nice limit of trout was brought on board and a beast of an over slot red fish was caught and released to add to the day. I thank you for the great time and congratulations on the awesome catch... Capt. Dan

Back to the inshore scene today with a couple day break, due to high winds and small craft advisory's. We had a beautiful day on the flats today though; with Bill, Jerry and Vern and the team did outstanding. We targeted trout on the shallow kelp grass patches with DOA deadly combos and the trout action was quite good. Every drift we would pick up a couple keepers and in just a couple hours, the guys had fifteen beautiful trout in the cooler. A couple bonus mackerel and a tasty flounder were added to the mix and as always; I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Wow! What an unbelievable successful 2015 grouper season. It's been my tradition the last couple of years to fish the last day with my wife Becky and we did so again today. The weather was looking " iffy" at best, but we just had to try. I made a run to the some real shallow holes, rocks and ledges in 5ft to 7ft of water and we cast plugs over them and caught some beautiful grouper. We had four nice fish in just a couple hours and we called it a day. I also wanted to thank all of you that fished with me and that follow me on my daily posts for a great season as well. Shallow water grouper fishing is my passion and the thrill to me is seeing my clients enjoy a great " tug of war" battle that very few fish of their size can produce; and their pretty tasty too. I'm always looking for new structures and I believe to date I have over 1,600 different locations awaiting to be fished. Once again I thank you all and now it's time for some winter trout, sheepshead, red fish and other goodies - for the upcoming months... Capt. Dan

A great day on the shallow grouper grounds with my man Pat on board again for his last grouper day of the year. Today was a fun day as we jumped rock to rock picking up some nice grouper along and along. Rapala F-18 plugs were the flavor of the day and with the water as clear as it is; we were just about sight fishing the grouper. Today was the last day for the federal waters grouper season and tomorrow will be the last for state waters. I hope the weather holds for one more day and I thank you Pat for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Today I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club for a 1/2 day of fishing and afternoon shore-lunch with the Craft party and I took my team to catch some grouper. I had Lindsey and Frank for the day and we hop scotched from rock to rock picking on some nice gag grouper. Lindsey had never caught shallow water grouper before; so he took the rod for the majority of the day and cast up several grouper. We ended up by noon with some fine keepers and quite a few fun sized one before my self and the other guides cooked up a fine shore-lunch. Always a fun time with the Craft party and here's Lindsey with his second cast and a nice Homosassa gag grouper... Capt. Dan
