With a foggy, cold front coming through the area, the chill just cut through to your inner core today out of Crystal River. Tom and Doc were on board for a 1/2 day charter and experienced the shifting weather with tough conditions. We targeted the kelp grass beds and oyster bars catching some very nice trout. We used a combination of jerk baits and MirrOlure Lil' Johns for the trip, but the jerk baits definitely caught the larger trout. It was a fun couple days fishing with you Tom, and I enjoyed fishing with your son. Here's the father and son team with their catch... Capt. Dan

An overcast breezy cool front was with us today and Steve and Tom caught some beautiful trout. It was a little choppy just outside the mouth of the Crystal River, so we stayed close to shore. We targeted the kelp grass beds and oyster bars with DOA deadly combo cork rigs and caught some hefty trout. Only a few under slot trout were caught for our 1/2 day charter and most were between 17" and 20". I can't thank you guys enough for the fun morning and look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt.

It makes my job so much more enjoyable, when the weather is as nice as it has been. Clell and Lee joined me today out of Crystal River and once again, perfect tides, calm seas and hungry trout made for an absolute wonderful day. We targeted the outer bars and the MirrOlure Lil' Johns did their job. New penny, watermelon, and purple were today's flavors and all worked equally well. The tide was up enough for some early afternoon red fishing and we caught a few to end the day. I always enjoy our trips with you guys and great job today... Capt. Dan
Wow! Great weather, perfect tides and hungry trout... its been a great couple of days. I had a wonderful full day Crystal River charter with Kit, Dave and Matt on board and we hit the hot trout bite. Once again, we were loaded with MirrOlure Lil' john's, worked the outer bars and it was some truly fantastic action. The guys caught their limit and some beautiful Crystal River trout were brought in. We had a few mixed species as well, including some mackerel, red fish and black drum. A great day on the water and I thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan
