The day of all days to go offshore and Bill, Henry and Steve hit it out of the park. I met the guys at 8am and we headed West. When I reached the mouth of the river it was like glass, so we made the run to 30ft. I anchored and the day was pretty much non stop action. Live shrimp on knocker rigs kept the rods bent and it was some fantastic fishing. We also caught some blue runners that we used as live bait and landed a 15lb gag grouper on one. It was one of those picture perfect days and I thank you all for the great day... Capt. Dan

Hello everyone and I hope you all are doing well. I've taken a couple day break to do some service on my main boat and do some scouting for some early arrival tarpon. The tarpon are arriving little by little and I've jumped a handful in the last couple of days, but none to the boat yet. As this month progresses, more and more will be passing through and hopefully this season will be as good as last years. I'll see you on the water soon... Capt. Dan

The perfect day to go offshore with Meredith and Blake for the day and the rods stayed bent. I took the couple to the 25ft range and dropped down live shrimp on knocker rigs. The bite was on and literally every drop produced a fish. We had a nice variety of species and a real beauty of a mangrove snapper too. The water was clear and seeing the fish swim around under the boat is always a treat. What A fun day and I look forward to doing it again soon... Capt. Dan

What a pleasure to have Curtis on board for the day and we had a ball. Curtis will be moving to the area with his wife shortly and wanted to see what Crystal River has to offer. We did a variety of things today from cork rigging the flats, jigging the grass patches and casting plugs for grouper. We caught a little bit of everything and the weather was spectacular. I really enjoyed the day and I thank you for the great time... Capt. Dan

Always a great time with the Coleman family and they brought a good friend Esther on board for the day. We spent the majority of the day offshore jigging the various grass patches and finding some good trout. Root beer holographic DOA shrimp and bourbon colored Lil' Johns were the baits of the day. The team caught a nice assortment of species and several of the trout were quality fish. To end the day on the incoming tide, we tried to find some slot sized red fish; but all were on the short side. I always enjoy the day on the water with you all and I look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan

Quite the perfect day on the big pond with Jim and Bill on board and the team did great. We left from Pete's Pier just after 9am and began targeting trout. We fished both the flats near Gomez rocks with DOA deadly combos and the offshore spotty bottom areas. The action was steady throughout the day and with the tide making high and a fine catch of trout, we hit the mangroves for some red fish. The guys did well catching a few, with one over slot and several little up and coming stars. A fun time as always and I thank you both for the great day... Capt. Dan

A great day with Pat and Laura Lou on board and we made a day of jigging trout and tackling some red fish. The steady East wind was howling again today, so it took a bit for it to lay down; but when it did we made the run offshore and found some fine trout. We used a combination of bourbon and watermelon red/flake MirrOlure Lil' johns for today's trout. With a good catch of trout and the tide making high, we hit the salt river area and boated a fine pair of red fish to top off the day. A windy day, especially inshore; but we did well and I thank you both for the fun day... Capt. Dan

Yes folks, the East wind returned today and it was a 15mph breeze all DAY.... I had the pleasure of having the Worthington family on board and even though the inshore trout bite hasn't been to good, today we did quite well. We basically tucked up against the outer keys and made short drifts with DOA deadly combos and had a great catch of trout. The old stand by, the DOA glow shrimp was by far the top producer for us today. We also picked up a fine Spanish mackerel and Jeff brought in a beautiful red fish to end the day. I thank you all for the fun time and I look forward to next time.... Capt. Dan

I had the pleasure of fishing the Calhoun party today at the Homosassa Fishing Club with my great friends Capt. Mark Zorn and Jody Johnson. Jack and Jeff were my guests and today began doing some offshore jigging for trout. We mad a couple drifts and had a few keepers, but "holy mackerel" the lady fish were thick as I've ever seen. Lady fish are fun, but after a couple hundred; it makes it a challenge to get down to the trout. Bourbon colored Lil' Johns and DOA root beer holographic shrimp were the baits for our offshore jigging mix. Around noon, we pulled up to the club island and prepared a fine shore lunch and ended the day spoon feeding a fine red fish to end the day. Thank you all for the fun time and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

Day two with Bill on board and he was solo with me for the day and his guests fished with my good friend Capt. Randy Hodges. Both boats fished as a team and we made the run to about 8ft of water and immediately hooked up with trout. On just two drifts, Bill and I had seven keeper trout before the North wind got out of control and chased us inshore. The red fishing was fair, with several fish in the 17" range and one beautiful mid slot fish to cap off the day. I thank you for the fun day, a fun couple of days and we look forward to seeing you all in the future... Capt. Dan
