Saturday Trout & Sheep's...

A big change in the weather for us and what a difference a day makes. The water cleared considerably and I had a great day with Val and John. I made the run to 23ft of water and we jumped around, picking up a couple sheepshead here and there. The husband and wife team put 10 sheepshead on ice and we jigged up a couple trout to end the day. Bourbon colored Lil' Johns were the flavor of the day for the trout rigged on 1/8th oz jig heads. A beautiful February day and I thank you all so much... Capt. Dan

Tough Sheep's...

Windy, rough and tough... This pretty much summed up the conditions for today's Crystal River charter. The recent cold front stirred up the gulf again and with a stiff NE wind, there was noooooo water at all. However, Chuck and Tim were game to give it a try and we were able to catch a couple sheepshead for the day. I couldn't go to far offshore, so we fished the 10ft range. The bites were very subtle for us, but we caught enough for a meal of two. I thank you guys and I'll be seeing you next time... Capt. Dan

Inshore Trout and Reds...

We were able to squeeze one in today with the windy conditions and Bill, Roland and Jim had a good one. The day began with the incoming tide and we had some fair action on trout, with DOA glow jerk baits in the skinny water. As the tide increased, the bite shut down and we changed gears and red fished. I had to move around to a couple spots to find them, but when we did find them - the action was pretty good. The conditions eventually made us call it a day and I thank you all as always for the great time... Capt. Dan

Another fantastic yearly event, with the 5th grade students from Homosassa Elementary on our Playing "Hookie" field trip. Myself and several of the Homosassa Guides Association Captains, took out a great group of kids and let them experience some of Homosassa's natural beauty, manatees, dolphins, the salt marsh and some fishing filled out our day. It was a pleasure to have you all on our boats and we all look forward to next years crew... Capt. Dan

Crystal River Mix...

The Inverness team on board today with Shane, Bart and Travis and the guys had a great one. Today's trip stated out jigging up some trout and on two drifts, we caught some fine keepers. Bourbon colored Lil' Johns were the flavor of the day. As the afternoon rolled on, we bottom fished some fine sheepshead, plus picked up a lone triple tail to wrap up our day. It sure was a beautiful day and I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Ladies of the Gulf...

What a great group trip today with some of my favorite people, the "ladies of the Gulf". Vicki, Daune and Marilyn were on my boat today and this was a 2 boat trip and I was joined by my good friend Capt. Clay Shidler. We had the orders for a sheepshead trip and we delivered. We both bottom fished some different structures with live shrimp on knocker rigs and the action was fantastic. The sea's were up a bit, but not to rough to keep us from going offshore. Both boats did great with the 5 fish a person limit of sheepshead we are implementing, and a couple trout topped off our day. I thank you all for the wonderful time and can't wait to do it again... Capt. Dan

February's Finest...

Another picture perfect day on the big pond and it was just about the finest day you could ask for. Stacy and Russell were my guests, and the husband and wife team did outstanding. The bottom fishing for sheepshead was great, plus the afternoon trout jigging was on par as well. The rods stayed bent most of the day, except the usual in-between tide change. I had a great time meeting you both and I look forward to our future trips... Capt. Dan

From the weather, the water conditions and the fishing; it was as good as it gets today. For today's Crystal River charter, Jim and Ed were with me form the Villages and it was a fish on kind of day. The sheepshead bit really well, plus the water cleared and the trout action is back on track. Lots of grunts and grouper kept us busy too offshore and I thank you both for the outstanding day... Capt. Dan
