Well my cold turned in to Bronchitis and I think this has been the longest stretch I've endured being off the water. The good news is, I'm feeling better and today's clients Jesse and Jesse Jr. had an outstanding Crystal River charter. I met the father and son team at 8:30am and we shoved off from Pete's Pier Marina, ready to go. The tide was running in pretty well at the mouth and the oyster bars were just right for jerk baiting some trout. We made a quick stop and found some hefty trout that couldn't resist some DOA glow colored jerk baits. The guys put eight in the cooler in less than 30 minutes and then we were sheepshead bound. It was pretty much the same scenario as it has been with a live shrimp on a knocker rig jumping spot to spot; and the sheepshead were very cooperative. We did get cut off by a couple mackerel and the usual sea bass, grunts, etc... filled out the day. I thank you both for a great time and congratulations on a fine catch... Capt. Dan

Under the Weather....

Written by
Hello everyone, just wanted to check in and say hello. I've had the bad cold that's going around and has kept me off the water for a couple days. Myself and the entire Homosassa Guides Association were rained out today for the annual Homosassa Elementary 5th grade class fishing trip. We're rescheduling the trip as soon as we can and this is a fun yearly event we all really enjoy. I'll see you soon... Capt. Dan
If you're a local, you would agree with me and think it was spring right now. We have been so blessed this last week with very mild temperatures and we reached the mid 80's today. Bud, Brad and Ken joined me out of Pete's Pier for a full day Crystal River charter chasing down some sheepshead. We fished together a month ago and did outstanding on the trout and the group was ready to try their luck on some sheepies. The conditions couldn't have been better and the gulf was truly as smooth as it could be. Running offshore to the 20ft range, we fished a variety of rocks and ledges and found some hefty sheepshead, grouper, grunts and other assorted species. The action was a little slow for the morning, but picked up as the day went on. Live shrimp on a knocker rig was or bait and tackle of choice and these guys did outstanding once again. There's so many great pictures to share and if you can, please check out my Crystal River Fishing facebook page so you can see the great shots. I thank you all for a wonderful time and congratulations on a superb catch... Capt. Dan
I broke a record today for my boat and we caught the largest sea bass I've seen yet. Doug and Virginia were my guests today out of Crystal River and they had a great time. Running offshore to the ledges and rock piles, we caught some beautiful sheepshead, grunts, sea bass, grouper and some other odds and ends to fill out the day. The seas were flat calm and it was truly a picture perfect day. We ended today's trip targeting some shallow rock/oyster bars catching some trout on jerk baits and all the trout were upper slot quality fish. I will say the large sea bass we caught today was quite a fish and a true trophy at almost 3lbs. I thank you both for a fantastic Crystal River charter and look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan
