Definitely not the prettiest day out there, but we caught some nice gag grouper. I had the pleasure of having Joe and Joanne on board for the day and grouper was on the menu. We left from Pete's Pier Marina and made our way to some shallow ledges. The bite was on right away and we had a couple grouper on ice in a matter of minutes. The tide dropped out and we had to wait a bit for them to turn back on. The tide finally started rolling back in, we changed gears and threw plugs for a beautiful pair of keeper gags to end our trip. We did get rained on... again, but it was well worth it. Thank you both for a fun day and enjoy the fresh grouper... Capt. Dan

One more great day on the trout and grouper and I just love November. This is probably my favorite month to fish and as long as the fronts don't keep us off the water; the fishing is fantastic. Mike, John and Mike were my guests today and this group of gentlemen did outstanding. Today's charter started off trolling up a fine catch of gag grouper and the 18ft range was the hot bite. We had to wait on the tide to get rolling with the slick calm conditions, but when it turned; so did the grouper. The gang put six beautiful gags in the cooler and we were off the jig up some trout. Blue fish, mackerel and all keeper sized trout kept our rods bent for the afternoon. It's so great to see the trout action to be back on and MirrOlure Lil' Johns were the baits of choice. A truly fun day and I thank you all for great time... Capt. Dan
Hey Folks, we hit another one out of the park today and it was definitely quite the day. Pete, Chris and Ed were my guests and these guys were a blast. Today's Crystal River Charter began trolling up a fine catch of quality gag grouper. We trolled a couple ledges and it was on. Bunker and Hot Head Rapala's and Green Mackerel MirrOlures were "the" plugs. I hated to leave the grouper action, but I don't catch and release grouper, so we ran back inshore and tackled some trout. The trout bite was fantastic on MirrOlure Lil' Johns and the guys had a mixed bag of trout, pompano, red fish and Spanish mackerel. The day was beautiful on the outside, but back inshore; we got poured on. This was another one to remember and I can't thank you all enough for such a great day... Capt. Dan

Today was it..... Probably the biggest catch I've had on board and such a variety of species. Judge O'Kelly and Bill were my guest and we brought the Homosassa Fishing Club up to crystal River. The action in Homosassa has been a bit off, so we changed it up and brought the gang North. Myself and Captains Mark Zorn and Jonathan Hamilton were also on the trip and it was truly a banner day. Trout limits across the board and my team did exceptionally well. We had fantastic trout action with a few snook mixed in. A couple Spanish mackerel and a bonus pompano were also added while targeting our trout. My crew reached their limit and we trolled and cast a quick limit of beautiful gag grouper. To ensure an inshore slam, I made a stop in the Salt River and a 1/2 dozen small red fish ended our day. What a day to remember and I can't thank you all enough for such a great day... Capt. Dan
