Happy Easter everyone and I hope you all had a wonderful day. I actually had the pleasure of fishing Marty and John for a 1/2 day charter, that I donated for the University of Florida extension office and we had a great morning. Marty caught his largest snook to date which was in slot at 32 1/2", but we released it to fight another day. We stayed in shallow and after the snook catch, we caught and released a few trout; kept three and just had a fun morning. It was a fun time and I look forward to seeing you again in the future... Capt. Dan

I don't mind the heat, rain, or cold - but a hard East wind is not my favorite. Ted, Brad and Curtis were with me for the day and we stayed inshore and got out of the wind best we could. I just made short drifts off the keys with DOA jerk baits and did pretty well. Some fine trout came on board and a pair of reds ended the day. We saw lots of snook, but unfortunately none would go for us today. I had a great time with you guys and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

What an awesome day and a wonderful time with the Dauches party. I fish Dan regularly I wanted to show him and his family something different, so we targeted cobia. I had to jump around a bit, but once I found them it was fast action. We had a double on and the whole school could be seen around the boat. It sure was great to sight fish them and live pin fish did the trick. The gang put four nice keepers on Ice and set a new record for keeper cobia in one day, for my boat. I thank you guys and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

A great day offshore with the Novinger family and we tackled some cobia. I haven't been offshore to the south in quite a while and it felt good to do so. We free lined live pin fish over some hard bottom areas and did well. The big excitement was when the largest jewfish I've encountered to date, tried to eat one of our keeper cobia - It was quite a sight! A couple trout and a nice red fish were also added to the day and once again, I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Dave and Danny on board today for some triple tail action and afternoon reds. The day was a good one as the team and I spent most of it running and gunning; sight fishing triple tail. We basically spot the fish and present a free lined live shrimp to them and they usually cooperate nicely. A couple fine triple tail came on board plus lost a few and then we finished the day with some nice reds to top off the day. I thank you both and I'll see you next time... Capt. Dan

A fantastic day with Joe and Joanne for their monthly Crystal River Charter and we hit it good. Today's order was triple tail and cobia, and I was fortunate to deliver. We found some fine triple tail while running around and a free lined live shrimp did the trick for them. The couple put six nice triple tail on ice, plus sight fished a hefty cobia for a grande finale. A wonderful time and I thank you both... Capt. Dan

Tony, Rusty and Todd were my guys today and they had a good one. Today was a jigging offshore kind of day and we fished the 6ft to 9ft spotty bottom areas. I loaded the team with bourbon colored MirrOlure Lil' Johns and that was basically our bait of the day; until we went red fishing. While we were jigging, we just made long drifts and had a fine variety. With a sold catch offshore, we hit the points on the incoming tide and finished up with some beautiful red fish. A wonderful day and I thank you all... Capt. Dan

The wife and I took the silver king out for the initial engine break in and we wanted to "ensure" it catches fish. Well, it runs like a champ and catches snook too. We ran a couple hours then poled down a shoreline and caught two fine Crystal River snook on DOA glow jerk baits. A fun way to spend Sunday and we'll see you all on the water this week... Capt. Dan

A big thank you to Mercury Marine for their sponsorship and Gulf Coast Marine Homosassa for the outstanding service. Today I had the new 115 Pro-xs 4-stroke installed on my skiff and she's ready for tarpon season. Also, it's always availble for anyone who wants to experience a fun day in the back country. Weather looks great this week and lets hope for some great catches.... Capt. Dan

A great day inshore with my old time friends Bob and Dave and the guys completed the inshore slam. The day started on the incoming tide and catching some red fish. We fished the outer keys and a live shrimp on a jig head produced the reds. We made a drift for some trout and caught a nice keeper, but I was game to try for snook and so were the guy's; so that's how we spent the afternoon. We used DOA glow jerk baits along the points and caught three fine snook with Bob's big dog coming in at 35". A great day and the wind eventually chased us in to finish up the day and I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan
