A special day with a special couple. I had Bill and Nell on board out of Pete's Pier today and we caught a little variety and celebrated Bill's 86th birthday. For sure fire action and to the keep the rods bent, I ran back a little ways offshore and fished the shallow rock piles. Steady action with snapper, grunts, jacks, lady fish and grouper made up the majority of the day. We had a little birthday lunch celebration and finished out the afternoon trying to tackle a red fish. We saw a couple, but no takers for the team today. i thank you both for a wonderful day and have a very special birthday Bill... Capt. Dan

Yes folks, today was one of those days when the fish were on the feed. I had the Partain family on board and these guys hit it out of the park. I met the family at Pete's Pier Marina and we made our way offshore. Today's plan was to drop some live baits on some ledges, find a couple grouper and then hit the rocks with a mixed bag of species to keep the rods bent. Well, the grouper were hungry today and just about every stop we dropped on produced some quality gags. I was really surprised how aggressive the grouper were, and the gang turned all of them except one break off. With an outstanding limit of shallow water grouper, we ran to the snapper rocks and loaded up on mango's, grunts and a flounder. We hit it as good as it get's today and I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan

They weren't jumping in the boat today, but my crew hung in there and we caught a couple real nice gags. I had Laura, Gil and Gil on board today for a full day grouper charter and what a beautiful day. We left from Pete's Pier Marina and made our way to the grouper grounds. We trolled up a pair keepers, a few shorts and had two really good ones get the best of us. The bottom fishing was a bit slow, but a couple hard fighting rays bent the rods for some excitement and another keeper gag came aboard. There's huge schools of Spanish Mackerel offshore too, and they will me making their way inshore soon. I really enjoyed the day with you all and look forward to seeing you again. Here's today's team with their grouper dinners... Capt. Dan

A fine catch today out of Homosassa and we had the big three. I has Clell and Lee on board out of Macrae's and I gave them a great ride through the Little Homosassa and made our way to a couple red fish points. The guys did good on the red fish considering we had a falling tide. A couple slot red fish, and a few in the lower teen's got the day started and free lined live shrimp from Blue Water Tackle did the job. We left the inshore scene, caught a couple dozen pin fish and made our way offshore. To grassy to troll, so we bottom fished and added a couple quality sized gags to the day. We almost beat the rain in, but pulling up to Macrae's, we got poured on. A fun day and I always look forward to fishing with you guys... Capt. Dan
