Well, we got blown off the big pond for today's offshore charter, so for plan B; my friend hunter and I spent the day on the Rainbow River tackling some bass. It's been just about 20 years since I've been on the Rainbow and it sure brought back some good memories. The bass fishing is still great and we totaled around 25 for the day using a combination of top-water plugs and soft plastics. Gin clear water and light line makes it a bit challenging, but that's half the fun. We saw some whoppers in the 10lb range, but our largest to the boat was around 5lbs. A super great time and I can't wait to do it again... Capt. Dan
Always a fun time with Clell on board and he was my solo guest today. He and I set off to the sheepshead grounds and did very well. We sent down the shrimp and had plenty of action with grouper, sheepshead and grunts. A nice bonus, was the first keeper triple tail of the year; as I spotted it on a weed patch and it quickly took a shrimp. I thank you Clell and enjoy all the fillets.... Capt. Dan
A bit to bumpy to make the long run, but favorable enough to reach the inshore sheepshead grounds. Jimmy, Brian and Harley were my guys today and we had a ball "they are a bunch of characters". I jumped around the shallow rock piles and we tackled a couple sheepshead a spot. Live shrimp were the baits and a couple gags greeted us as well. This looks like the last nice day for a couple, but hopefully by next week it will lay back down so we can make it out. Thank you all for the fun day... Capt. Dan
Scott and Tom sure had an awesome trip today and the fishing was really on. The snapper bite was extremely good and the sheepshead too. Fast action was the theme of the day and we had a really great catch of both species, in no time. A couple bonito were milling around the surface as well, so Tom got to pull on one before we wrapped up the trip. Great job guys and I thank you... Capt. Dan
