Homosassa Rocks...

We made the 20 mile run offshore today and was it ever on! I had the pleasure of having the Bosworth family on board out of Macrae's and these guys hit it out of the park. Awesome action of grunts and mangroves on the shallow rocks to start the day. Excellent grouper action in 28ft of water with some hefty gags. And the team finished off the trip with seven fine trout drifting the grass patches in 10ft of water. What a day and I thank you all for the outstanding trip... Capt. Dan

Crystal River 1/2 day reds....

A great morning 1/2 day charter with Gene and Linda and we caught the last of the out going tide to find some red fish. Lately, the warm gulf waters have made it a bit tough to get live shrimp. However, Blue water tackle, Ed's Tackle and Pete's Pier Marina are doing what they can and they have been working hard in locating live bait for us. On today's trip, we kept it simple and free lined live shrimp in the mullet schools and caught some lower slot red fish to make the day. Once the tide bottomed out,the bite quit and we had a fun couple hours of fishing. Thank you both for the nice morning and here's Gene with a Crystal River red fish... Capt. Dan

Come on weather....

I'm trying to make it out to the grouper grounds everybody, but the weather has me land locked. A gusty West wind and some storms have set in and I've had to cancel some trips. I'll be back on the big pond soon as I can.... Capt. Dan

Homosassa Scallops....

A great day at the Homosassa Fishing Club with my good friends Capt. Zorn, Spratt and Toney and we had the Stribling party on board. Today was a scallop charter and it was a nice change to get it the water and cool off. We all ran south and worked over the grass flats off "Chazz" and did well. The water was a bit deeper than we usually go, but the scallops are there in excellent numbers. The storms gave us a bit of a late take off and the afternoon was perfect. Here's my crew with a fine catch of Nature Coast scallops... Capt. Dan

Back on the River...

As you all probably know, this past Wyoming trip was the best yet and it was sure sad to say good bye. However, today I was back on the big pond and Drew and Carey had a great day. We ran offshore and did some grouper digging for today's Crystal River charter and the guys did well. The team loaded up the live well full of pin fish and we ran West. We fished the 18ft to 20ft range and found the gags. We were able to turn a couple, but the usual break offs got the best of us for the majority of the fish. Another surprise was landing a hefty snook in 20ft of water that hit a pin fish on a bottom rig. A fun day, but a hot one for sure and I thank you both for the great day. Here's Drew with a fine gag from today's trip... Capt. Dan

Float Trip down the Salt..

As our trip winds down and I'll be back in Florida in a couple days, this vacation has been a great one. Most of the days we just wade many of the local streams and rivers, but this year I had the opportunity to do a float trip down the Salt River through Star Valley Wyoming. Joe Harris was our guide and this young man was fantastic. Joe is based out of the Rockin' M Ranch and if any one ever needs his contact information, please let me know. As fishing with a local guide, he showed me some other types of water to look for that hold fish and his knowledge was invaluable. Very large cutthroat trout nearing 20" and a couple fine brown trout filled out our afternoon. My wife Becky took the bow and her fly fishing skills have really excelled. I'll definitely make a float trip a tradition in the future years and thank you again Joe for a memorable day... Capt. Dan

Wyoming Update....

A couple days difference and the higher mountain streams are clearing. The upper elevation streams started out a bit cloudy and running hard, but over the last couple days they have improved considerably. Snake river fine spotted cutthroats and brook trout have been coming to the surface and hitting dry flies and cone head woolly buggers have been working in the deeper pools. Only a couple days left for us out here in the great West and we have been having a fantastic trip. Here's a fine cutthroat caught in the Grey's River to end our afternoon... Capt. Dan

Wyoming Report....

A great start to our yearly trip out to Wyoming. The fishing has been excellent, but there's still quite a bit of run off on many of the mountain streams. We've found if you find the clear water, you'll find the trout. Hopper patterns and typical attractor dry fly's are working very well. The first three days have brought snake river fine spotted, Colorado and Bonneville cutthroats to the net; as well as some fine brown trout. Beautiful weather and a nice little chill in the mornings and evenings have made the days very enjoyable. Here's Becky with her first Brown trout that came on the Wyoming/Idaho border... Capt. Dan

Heading West....

A nice couple days off in preparation for my yearly trip out West to Wyoming. I'll be calling the Alpine area home for a couple weeks and I'll do my best to post pictures and reports. I generally don't fish on the July 4th weekend, but I heard some reports of good scalloping and steady grouper action offshore. Also, the shallow rocks continue to produce nice sized mangrove snapper, grunts, flounder and mackerel. I hope this trip is a great success and I'll check in soon. Good Fishing!!! Capt. Dan

Homosassa Rocks...

An offshore trip out of Homosassa today with the Athens family for their second charter and they did fantastic. I picked up the crew at their river house and we headed West. It was a smooth ride to the grouper grounds for a while, but by mid morning it got white capping and bumpy. The action was great for grunts and snapper on live shrimp, while the gags came aboard using thread fin herring. We hung in their as long as we could, but the conditions finally chased us in. A great couple days with you all and I look forward to seeing you every year... Capt. Dan
