We had an afternoon scheduled trip today at the Homosassa Fishing Club. Myself and Capt. Charlie Harris fished the Edward Spearman group for an outstanding evening charter. I had Ed, Von and Brad on board and the trout were in the mood for some DOA Deadly Combos. We had 10 keepers, but since the guys flew down, in was a catch and release trip. The wind was a steady 15mph out of the SW, so we stayed inshore and the 3ft flats was the hot zone. Capt. Charlie ran south to chase the tarpon, and had a several minute battle with a fish in the 70lb class. A couple jumps and the fish broke off, but that's half the fun of tarpon fishing. Thanks guys for the awesome evening trip and I'll see you again in the morning. Here is Von with a nice 21" trout... Capt. Dan

The trout were on the feed today! I met Ron and Chris at Pete's Pier at 8am for a full day Crystal River charter. We ran off shore to the 8ft grass flats once again, and the area was on fire. Trout after trout was the name on the game today. We had a steady SE wind that set up a perfect drift and the DOA shrimp in the holographic watermelon color was the go to bait today. We had our limit by 11:45 am and after our limit, we ran to the rocks and chummed up some beautiful mangrove snapper. It was a fantastic charter and thanks guys for the awesome time. Here is today's catch and look forward to our next charter... Capt. Dan

I fished with my long time friend and old neighbor Darren out of Crystal River, to tackle some trout. We left Pete's Pier just after 7am to get the last of the outgoing tide. It was non stop trout after trout action for a couple hours (lots of shorts), and we had seven keepers to put in the cooler. The usual sharks, lady fish, sea bass, grouper etc... kept us busy in between all the trout. The root beer holographic DOA shrimp on a 1/8oz cal jig head was the bait of choice today. It was a hot one, so we did do some running and looking just to keep cool and found some great structure while doing so. Thanks for the great day ( and turning me on to Van Halen back in 85 ). Here is one of the gator trout we caught today... Capt. Dan

It was crazy with all the Memorial day weekend boaters, but we persisted and ran off shore to find a great mixed bag of fish. I had Evans and Thomas on board once again. We left Pete's Pier at 8am, and once we arrived to the 8ft grass flats the trout were chewin'. Evans put the first several keepers in the box. Thomas got his game face on, and quickly put hiskeepers in the box. A little competition is always a good thing. After our trout we anchored on a rock pile and caught a variety of mackerel, bluefish, snapper, grunts and to many sharks. It was a great day and Charlie from FWC was at the marina to measure our catch and ask questions to help with our future fishery. Thanks guys for the great time and here is today's catch... Capt. Dan
