Crystal River Fishing Charters & Homosassa Charters

Another beautiful day here in Citrus County and Frank and Scott had a nice variety. The day began jigging up some trout along the rock bars with MirrOlure Lil John's and the trout cooperated nicely. We put a fine limit on board and our next target, was running down some triple tail. The triple tail were plentiful, and a simple free lined live shrimp up current from them did the trick. The rest of the day we spent tackling the snook and the team and I went 1 for 4, plus a red fish; to wrap up the day. I thank you both for the fun time and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

A very fun day with Brent and Justin out of the Plantation on Crystal River and the guys had a great catch of trout and a few red fish. The day started out targeting trout inshore, but the bite was slow; so I made a run to 8ft of water and the action picked up. We jigged up a couple fine trout and then ran back inshore to catch the tide for red fish. A mixed size of red fish were caught from over slot, slot and little guys to bend the rod. I made one more stop on the way in on some oyster bars for trout; and we finished up our catch. I thank you both fro the fun day and I look forward to next time. Here's Justin with a fine Crystal River red fish.. Capt. Dan

Pretty windy the last two days and I've had to cancel charters unfortunately, but Monday and the upcoming week looks really good. I have a picture I wanted to share from one of my regular anglers that fishes with me; Bob from Pennsylvania holding a hefty tiger Muskie. Bob's coming tarpon fishing with me in June and has been practicing with the heavier tackle on his home waters and using "my favorite tarpon artificial" the DOA bait buster. Evidently, the muskies have a taste for saltwater lures and they like the DOA bait buster. Great job Bob and I'll see you in a couple weeks... Capt. Dan

Good to be in Homosassa with Chuck and Terry on board and we left Macrae's at 8am and began the day red fishing. We free lined live shrimp on the outer keys and did well picking up a few keeper reds. The red fish bite slowed, so we changed rods and went to DOA jerk baits for the trout. The guys caught some fine trout and we beat the rain storms in, just in time. A great time and I hope to see you again soon... Capt. Dan

A good mix today out of Crystal River with Dave and Danny on board and these gentlemen had a ball. The wind and seas backed off today and allowed me to do a little variety in the day. I began the trip on the little bit of incoming tide we had, and started red fishing. We picked up a pair of nice keepers to start the trip on live shrimp. The water was leaving fast, so the guys jumped right in to trout mode and we did well. Both inshore and a bit offshore, we found several fine trout. With some time to spare and the conditions were right - we tackled some triple tail. The triple tail action was absolutely fantastic and in short order, we had some good ones to finish off the day. I thank you both for the fun time and you were a pleasure to have on board... Capt. Dan

Pretty windy out there today, so my team of Gary, Dan and Lauren stayed inside and we worked on the trout in the shallow water. We were loaded with DOA jerk baits and they worked very well for most of the day. I did switch it up for a bit, and use some DOA deadly combos; which produced some fine trout as well. A great time as always and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.... Capt. Dan

A very special day with the Novinger family and we all had a ball, as it was Jaca's birthday. The family had a great trip and after picking them up at their dock on the river; we started the day in the shallow water with DOA jerk baits catching some trout. The morning was a little slow, but when then the tide starting coming; the trout bite was great - just like yesterday. The team put together a fine catch of trout and we then tackled some reds for the afternoon. We boated around five reds fish with a couple keepers, under slots and a big dog to finish off our day. I had a great time with you all and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

A beautiful day with Ron, Dean and Jim from the Villages Deep Sea Fishing Club and the guys had an awesome catch of trout and red fish. The day began a little bit slow as the tide was dumping out pretty low, but as I ensured the team; once it turns the bite will turn on. " If I can ever give any one any advice - the tides play a HUGE role on when and where the fish feed every day". That being said, once the tide started coming in, we hit the creek mouths with DOA glow jerk baits and did awesome. Juts a couple drifts produced a limit of trout and we then jumped right in to red fishing. A couple points with free lined live shrimp did the trick on the red fish, and a great day was had by all. I look forward to next time with you guys and thanks again for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Always a great time with Joe and Joanne and we did the traditional trout and red fish day today. We had to cover some ground for the trout as they really didn't cooperate in one place to well. However, we persevered and made a great day of Jigging MirrOlure Lil' Johns and using DOA jerk baits. Thank you both as always for the fun time and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

An unbelievable day with my great friend and team mate Capt. Clay Shidler and we had the pleasure of fishing the Kennedy party out of the Plantation on Crystal River. My crew of Mike, Jacob and Mike had an absolute fantastic trip targeting trout, red fish and a few Spanish mackerel. From offshore jigging, free lining shrimp and shallow water jerk baits; the team had an awesome day. Both boats had a great catch of trout, red fish and Clay's team had a couple fine triple tail to add to the mix. We both really enjoyed the day and we look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
