Hello everyone, well I've spent the last couple days doing a little scouting and getting ready for tarpon season. Myself and Capt. Jim Long spent Monday together checking the Homosassa and South locations and today I was with my good friend Nick checking the North. A few tarpon are here, but no big schools yet - just scattered pods of two to five fish. Any day now we should see the arrival of some large schools. Stay tuned and hopefully in the next couple weeks, we'll be putting some in the air... Capt. Dan

A busy day out of Homosassa with the CCBA fishing tournament going on, but we fought the crowds and found some nice fish. Myself and Captains Mark Zorn and William Toney were at the Homosassa Fishing Club for the day with a 1/2 day of fishing and an afternoon shore lunch on order. We fished the Craft party to a good morning catch of trout and the usual mixed species for a fun day. DOA deadly combos were todays top producers in the rootbeer color to catch the trout. After 1pm we ran to the club island and preparred our famous shore lunch. Luch was great and with a few minutes to kill, I made a quick stop for a red fish or two and we did just that. Jack and Bo caught a nice pair of red fish to end the day and i thank you guys for the fun time... Capt. Dan
With days like today, we're so blessed to live in Florida. Todd and Tom were my anglers for this Crystal River Charter and we had the full day to tackle some trout and red fish. With a low tide this morning, we made the rounds and found some real nice quality trout. From the shallows off the keys to the scatted rock piles, the trout action was good; soon as the tide started moving in. I've been wanting to red fish for a while and today we finally had the tide to do so. I made a run to the North side of Ozello, free lined some live shrimp and it was fish on! The guys caught some beautiful red fish from under slot to over and even had one cut us off on the rocks. It was a very fun day and I thank you both for a great time... Capt. Dan
It was the final day for the Green party staying at Tarpon Key Lodge and we finished it up, with a fantastic morning 1/2 day charter. Merritt and Curt were on board with me today and the guys had a really good charter. We didn't fish the shallow flats, rather, we ran offshore a couple miles and made a couple drifts. The action is just about guaranteed right now in the 5ft to 8ft of water range and mixed catches are the norm. The trout bite was excellent and we totaled twenty one keepers for the trip. Root beer, bourbon and glow were the colors of the day rigged on a 1/8th oz jig head. I want to thank the entire group for a fun couple of day and myself and the other guides had a blast. We look forward to your next visit and here's Curt with a fine Homosassa trout released to fight another day... Capt. Dan
