A totally different day out of Homosassa and even though it was another chilly morning, the day warmed nicely. It was senior Jamboree day at the Homosassa Fishing Club and I was fortunate to have Dr. Coco and Mr. Maddox on board for the day. These gentlemen have been fishing Homosassa for over 40 years and it's always a great time hearig the old time stories of what this area used to be like. Having an out going tide for the majority of the day, we bounced around and targeted trout for our charter. The warmer conditions put the trout in a feeding mood and the bite was extremely better today. We just kept our angler limit and finished up our afternoon with our famous Homosassa Guides Association shore lunch. Thanks to all the members for a great day and here's my crew with today's catch... Capt. Dan

You would have thought it was January by the chilly start to this April day. I had the Neal family on board for this Tuesday morning 1/2 day charter out of Macrae's and when I launched the boat this morning, the air temperature was in the low 40's. We arrived at the mouth of the river to a quite breezy NW wind, so we kept it simple and worked some of the shallow rock bars in Homosassa bay. The trout bite was a little slow, as to be expected due to the drastic 10 degree water temperature change, but we made a series of drifts and caught a few trout. A couple of under slot trout and three keepers was what our DOA deadly combo/MirrOlure Lil' John rigs produced. I thank you both for the fun morning and look forward to fishing again when the conditions are a little better... Capt. Dan

We knew the rain was on its way before we left the Homosassa Fishing Clubs dock today, but we were able to get a very good 1/2 day of trout fishing and shore lunch in, just in time. I had Iqbaugh, Scott and Jeff on board for this fine day out of Homosassa and we started off where we left them biting yesterday, and the trout bite was fantastic. Using DOA deadly combo oval corks and root beer colored MirrOlure Lil' Johns, my crew had their 15 fish trout limit by 11am. Great action for the morning and just after noon, we pulled up to the island and prepared a tasty shore lunch. It was a quick meal with all the fixings and we safely arrived back at the club dock just before the storm. Thanks to the entire West party for a great couple of days and look forward to your visit next year... Capt. Dan

The bite was on! Wow, what a day out of the Homosassa Fishing Club and myself and fellow Homosassa Guides Association Captains Mark Zorn, William Toney, Rick Spratt, Charlie Harris and Fred Lyles had an outstanding day. Trout limits across the board and several nice catches of red fish; it was a trip the West party will not soon forget. I had John, Phil and Tom on board and my crew did great with their 20 fish trout limit and a couple over slot and slot red fish. DOA deadly combos did the job on the trout and free lined live shrimp for the red fish, I can't thank you all enough for a great day. Here's me crew with their great catch... Capt. Dan
