Wow! What a beautiful day to go offshore and that's exactly what we did with Sarah and Randy on board. Once again, I made the run to the sheepshead grounds and the bite was just as good as yesterday's; but the size average was up a bit. The action was good and we even picked up a surprise snook on an offshore wreck in almost 20ft of water. With a fine catch of sheepshead, we anchored up and chummed up a few drag burning macks to wrap up the day. I thank you both for the fun time and congratulations on the outstanding catch... Capt. Dan

You know Spring has sprung, when the Spanish mackerel are here and it was good today. I had Joe, Rich and Larry on board for the day and we had a nice mix. We began the day using cork rigs off the bars in Crystal Bay and did good. The guys caught a dozen nice trout on DOA deadly combos, before we anchored up and chummed in the macks. The macks were our next stop and they were on. Free lined shrimp in the chum slick did the trick and a couple other surprises bent the rod as well. I really enjoyed the day with you all and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

A fun day with my great friend Capt. Clay Shidler and we fished a nice group of gentlemen out of the Plantation on Crystal River today. We fished inshore today for trout and we all caught fish. We covered ground from the Salt river area, oyster bars and the near shore rock piles and found trout. Clay had the hot bite though, in the Salt River area free lining shrimp under corks and that was the hot technique on the day. My team caught quite a few on glow DOA jerk baits and MirrOlure Lil' Johns, but mostly shorts for us today. A nice surprise pompano was added to the mix again and I thank you all for the great day... Capt. Dan

Well, it has been since 2010 since I fished the trout masters tournament and today was a fun day. I had the pleasure of fishing with friend Jeremy Cates, who actually won a 1/2 day charter I donated and decided to use it for the tournament. I was in tournament mode and we runned and gunned from spot to spot. As you "ALL" know, I've mainly been sheepshead fishing due to the cold temperatures, but spring is on its way and the trout are due to show up and turn on. We found some nice keeper fish here and there, but I did have to move around quite a bit. The nice surprise of the day was the variety of species we caught as a by-catch which was excellent. We took second place out of 41 boats and had a great time. I thank you for the great day and look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

A great time with the West party out of Crystal River and myself and Capts. Mark Zorn, Rick Spratt, Clay Shidler and William Toney had a blast. We picked up the group a little after 8am and made our way out. Some of the guides went North and some went South. The trout action was good from the outer spoil islands, the deeper spotty areas and inshore creeks. A fine mixed bag of species were brought to the dock and we all had a great time.... Capt. Dan
