Crystal River Fishing Charters & Homosassa Charters

A fun time today trolling plugs with Larry and Spurgin on board. The team and I dealt with some choppy conditions and we trolled up quite a few grouper. We used a combination of F14 and F18 Rapalas and had a double digit fish day. Most of the gags today were just on the short side, but a couple made their way home for a dinner or two. A great day with you both and I thank you... Capt. Dan

The seas calmed down for us today to make it happen and with Bob and Nancy in town from Pennsylvania; the team caught some nice gags and an offshore surprise. We actually started the day inshore jerk baiting some trout and picked up a couple, as we waited for the wind to calm down a bit. Around 11am, I made the run offshore and we were able to catch some nice gags; but it was still a bit on the rough side. Four nice fish came on board, plus a huge offshore red fish which was a welcomed surprise. The team had a great day and I thank you both for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Pretty bumpy out there today and it wasn't easy. Pat and Alyse were my guests and we hit the real shallow stuff for today's grouper. I couldn't make it to far offshore due to the conditions, but we trolled up a nice keeper and bottom fished up a few others. I'll be off until Monday with the upcoming choppy conditions and I'll see you all soon in a couple days... Capt. Dan

Not a ripple on the big pond today and it was like a sheet of glass offshore. Joe and Joanne were with me for the day and this was the calm before the front. We have another cool front coming through tomorrow and the winds are going to pick up a bit. I took the team to the 30ft range and we had an awesome Crystal River charter. They each turned a fine pair of gags; then we sent down some shrimp and caught 7 hog fish for the day. The day to be offshore and great catch to the both of you... Capt. Dan

One stop today and we got them. Tony and Steve were my guests today and grouper once again was on the menu. We dropped down on some scattered low profile rocks with live pin fish and did very well. We caught close to 20 grouper on one spot, while also filling out our limit. The team did really good turning the fish and we also added a couple trout before he headed home. A fun day guys and I look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan

A great day in grouper land with Al and Bear and these guys did awesome. We did a combination of bait fishing and trolling for the fish today. Live palm sized pin fish got the grouper going and the size average was once again very good. When we trolled, the dorado was the flavor of the day and I thank you both for a really fun trip... Capt. Dan

Another fine day in grouper land and Sarah and Randy were my guests today. I took the husband and wife team to about 20ft of water and the bite was quite good . We had to weed through some shorts to start the bite, but once they were out of the way - it was game on. Live pin fish got the gags again and it sure was some good action. The couple had some fine fish to show for the day and I thank you for the fun time... Capt. Dan

The big dogs came out to play today and Frank, Scott and Ian turned some good ones. I took the gang down south offshore a bit and the bite was quite good. We bottom fished all day and luckily, no beak offs. Palm sized pin fish were the flavor of the day and it sure was a beautiful day to go offshore. Great job team and this is the largest stringer of the year..."so far"... Capt. Dan

Calm seas and happy grouper! A great day offshore with the Villages team of Chris, Jim and Al. The fellas joined up and we headed offshore. I fished just inside the 30ft range and we bottom fished a fine catch of gags; plus some bonus hog fish. Live pin fish were the ticket for the grouper and live shrimp on knocker rigs caught us the hogs. A really nice day to be offshore and great job team... Capt. Dan

What a day!!! It was that awesome three day after a major front bite today, and the fish were in a feeding mood. I had the pleasure of having Ted, Brad and Curtis on board and the team did outstanding. They started the day jigging up a beautiful limit of trout on MirrO'lure Lil Johns and bourbon was the flavor of the day. After a fine morning of trout action, we headed to the grouper grounds and trolled up some fine gags and bottom fished our last keeper too. The weather was absolutely perfect and I can't thank you all enough for a fun day... Capt. Dan
