Family Day Tarpon...

A Sunday fun day with my wife Becky on board and we spent a couple hours casting at some rolling tarpon. The conditions were perfect today and with the light chop, you could easily see the fish rolling. Today's bait of the day were the trolling model DOA bait busters and they sure work great. We landed one tarpon today in the 40lb class and it sure was a fun day. The weather looks great for the week and lets hope for more silver kings... Capt. Dan

Tarpon Fever...

Hello everyone, the last three days have really heated up with tarpon action. My clients and I have put a couple in the air and had some great shots on the fly too. June is my favorite month and the season usually peaks in the coming weeks. A great day with Earl and Mishel and here's Mishel's tarpon from today's trip, giving us a dance... Capt. Dan

Tripletail Action...

What another fun day running down the triple tail with Joe and Joanne and we did awesome. We left from Pete's Pier just after 8am and ran the crab trap buoys once again. We covered quite a bit of ground and totaled eight triple tail for the day. In between triple tail action, we also jigged up some trout and chased a few tarpon around as well. A great day and I always enjoy my days with you both... Capt. Dan

Crystal River Tripletail..

A fun day with Rodger and Ron and we made the best of the windy day and caught some fine triple tail and trout. We had hopes of sending a tarpon in the air this morning, but the choppy conditions just weren't meant to be. So for plan B, we used DOA deadly combos on the flats for some nice trout and ran some buoys for a couple triple tail. Triple tail are always a welcomed catch, because they readily take a shrimp and are quite tasty on the table. We had had a fun day and I thank you both for the wonderful time... Capt. Dan

On the Rocks Day two...

Day two for us at the Homosassa Fishing Club with the Conklin party and my team today did great again. We ran to the shallow rocks and went jumping rock to rock, catching an assortment of species. The conditions were identical as yesterday and it was definitely bumpy out there for the morning hours. We used live shrimp on Hank Brown jig heads and it was just a fun day of fishing. I thank you all for two great days and I look forward to having you all on board again soon... Capt. Dan

Shallow Rocks...

A very windy day, with it howling out of the East and for some sure fire action; we ran to the shallow rocks and sent down some shrimp. I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club with my great friends Capt. Mark Zorn, Clay Shidler, Rick Spratt and Jonathan Hamilton fishing the Conklin party. We all did the same deal and went rock jumping to keep it simple and fun. Live shrimp on knocker rigs were the baits of the day and the action was great. Just after noon, we pulled up to the club island and prepared a fine shore lunch and we called it a day. I thank you all for the good time and look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

Triple Tail & Tarpon...

A good day with Steve and Kevin on board and we tried our luck at Tarpon and cruised around for some triple tail. I've been on the tarpon flats the last couple of days and we've seen quite a few fish and had some shots; but haven't put many in the air. Today though, we did jump a whopper on a DOA bait buster in the afternoon to see an impressive jump. While the tide was slack, we did run the crab trap buoys and find a couple beautiful triple tail to top off the day. I thank you all for the good time and here's Steve with a fine triple tail...

Tarpon Catch...

A couple days on the tarpon grounds the last couple of days and as many of you know; there's no guarantees when targeting tarpon. The migration is definitely coming in to shape and more fish are arriving daily. Today, we jumped a couple and brought one boat side on the fly. One of the fish we actually "hooked" in the dorsal fin and it was quite a battle. This was a first for me and I couldn't believe it. A great day on the flats and lets hope for more good tarpon weather... Capt. Dan

On the Rocks...

A great family on board for today's Saturday charter and Mitchell, Dave and Eric had a blast. We left from Pete's Pier Marina just after 8am and made our run to the trout grounds to start the day. The wind wind up a bit out of the East which made for some fast drifting; but we did land quite a few under sized trout and some keepers while giving it a try. With the choppy conditions though, I knew a best bet was anchoring up on the shallow rocks and having some fun bending the rod. The team stayed busy with the usual mix of species and once again just a live shrimp on a knocker rig was the bait of choice. I thank you all for the fun time and I look forward to seeing you all again soon... Capt. Dan

What a great day inshore with Steve, Chris and Scott and these gentlemen had an outstanding day. We spent the morning hours targeting trout and made some long drifts in the 9ft range over good grass patches. Bourbon colored MirrOlure Lil' Johns were the baits of the day and some good quality trout were caught as well. To end the day, we made a couple stops on the shallow rocks and added a little mix. A wonderful day and I thank you all for the excellent day.... Capt. Dan
