I had to set my pinfish traps today for my upcoming grouper charter out of Crystal River. My good friend Capt. Chris Wilkins joined me for some spearfishing and after we set the traps we went exploring some of our favorite shallow grouper locations. This time of year it's a little tough to consistently catch big keepers in shallow water on hook and line, but if your willing to chase a couple down with a spear gun, it's a blast. We ran from Crystal River all the way to Bayport today and had a fantastic trip. Rocks, ledges and wrecks were all holding good numbers of mangrove snapper and several grouper were on each spot. The water is quite hot and my sonar was reading 91 degrees. The high light of the day was diving one of my long time favorite spots in 12ft of water. As it turned out, it was actually a spring and you could really feel the cool water pouring out. Thanks Chris for the fun time and here's the catch from today....Capt. Dan
