Not the most beautiful day today out of Crystal River, but the trout sure were on fire. Karen and Bill joined me out of Pete's Pier marina and with the breezy conditions, I knew targeting sheepshead wasn't going to be an option. So, we stayed inshore, tied on some DOA jerk baits and caught some outstanding Crystal River trout. The quality of today's fish were incredible and the majority of the trout were averaging 18" to 20". Bill had the honors of catching a 24" gator and we released several others over the 20" mark. We tried our luck to find a red fish, but no takers for us today. The wind really kicked up just after noon, so we called it a day. I thank you both for an outstanding day and this was definitely one to remember. "Great job"... Capt. Dan
