Pretty much the same run as yesterday's trip and today's team did great. Once again they helped so much with pulling the bait traps, unhooking fish, etc... I can't thank you all enough to make it all happen. We fished close to 30ft of water and that was the good bite range for us. No break offs and turned everything we hooked which is always great. Enjoy the grouper dinners and I look forward to seeing you next time Capt. Dan
Good to be back out, but I'm still a little shaky to be running full time yet. I had Tony and Javier on board and they were willing to give it a go and give me the extra support I need. A little foggy, but the seas were nice and we pushed on out to about 25ft of water. The bite was great and in two stops we had a fine limit of Crystal River groupers. Live pinfish did the trick and I thank you both for the extra effort and fun time... Capt. Dan
Hello everyone, I know it has been a while but I wanted to check in and say hello. It's been a rough road for me recovering from my last treatments, especially the radiation I had done. My strength is slowly getting better, and that's been my biggest issue. That radiation really hits on you and takes quite a while to recover. I'm making progress and hopefully will be getting on the water more in the near future. I have been out a couple times on charters and the grouper bite was excellent "couldn't have been better actually." My crew had to do the majority of the work though and they did a fine job. Here's the Sans team from a couple weeks ago with some nice Crystal River grouper. Hope to be out soon... Capt. Dan
Great action for today's morning trip with the Platz team. I fish this great family every year around this time and we've been going strong for about 10yrs now. Josh, Piper and Rick were my team today and they turned some nice ones. No break offs, pulled hooks, etc ... they were 100% on their game. We fished in the 10ft to 12ft range and all the gags came on live pinfish. I thank you all and terrific job.... Capt. Dan. On a side note, I'll be starting new treatments again on Tuesday, plus radiation so I'm not sure when I'll be back on the big pond as of yet. Soon as I feel up to it though, you all know I'll be out there. Thank you..
