Clell was my solo guest for the day and with the tide situation the way it was, targeting trout was today's theme. For a change of scenery, we ran way south and drifted the shallow spotty bottom areas off the keys. The trout action was fair with some nice keepers, but "wow" are the lady fish ever thick. It was cast after cast with a lady fish on and they were beating the trout to the jigs. It was a fun time and I always enjoy fishing with my good friend Clell. Here's the big trout of the day...

Just a scouting trip today with my good friend Matt to see whats going on around the cobia structures. We checked some channel markers, wrecks and saw a couple cobia and quite a few tripletail. No big cobia today, but we did land one in the 30" range to put a bend in the rod. Keep on the look out if you're on the water, more and more will be coming every day... Capt. Dan

It was a beautiful day out of Crystal River with Bill, Dick and Len on board, but we could have used a little breeze to get the boat moving. I met the gang a little after 8am at Pete's Pier Marina and made our way to the gulf on an outgoing tide. We spent the day targeting trout and we caught a few here and there and numerous lady fish through out the day. Our best success was offshore in about 5ft of water using DOA deadly combos calling up the trout. The standard stand alone jig wasn't working, so we made some noise and it worked well. I thank you all for fun time and here's my crew with a nice catch of trout... Capt. Dan

We made the big swing today from the North side of Crystal River to flats off Homosassa. Jack and John were on board today for a full day charter and the guys had some busy action. The lady fish have invaded the area in full force and it was making it difficult to get to the trout. The trout we did catch, were quality fish and all came on glow DOA cal shad tail jigs and bourbon colored MirrOlure Lil' Johns. From the 8ft spotty bottom areas to the shallow flats off the keys, we caught trout in all locations. The guys did a fine job and secured plenty of fillets for dinner. I thank you both for the fun time and look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan
