All I can say is I wish you all could have been here for today's charter. Beautiful weather, fantastic trout and red fish action and wonderful clients; it was a great day to be a fishing guide. Clell and Lee were on board today out of Pete's Pier Marina and we started the day drifting over some spotty bottom in 8ft of water and the trout were chewing. Once again, the ever reliable MirrOlure Lil' Johns did the trick for the trout and a bonus pompano also came aboard for the day. The trout bite was great and by 11am, we had our limit. The west wind was pushing in the tide perfect, so we tried our luck for some afternoon red fish. Free lining live shrimp in the mullet schools in the back country of Ozello, we caught 1/2 a dozen healthy red fish and called it a day. Thank you guys as always for the great time and look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan

Yes, today's that funny day April 1st and we all enjoy a good laugh for April fools day. However, it was all business today out of Homosassa with Butch and Paul on board and we were on a mission to keep on the hot trout bite. Leaving from Macrae's just before 8am, we ran out the Little Homosassa and began the day jigging our way to a cooler full of trout. It was a bit of a slow start for the first part of the day with only a couple short trout and several lady fish on the end of our lines. Not to worry though, the guys got in the rhythm and the keeper trout soon followed. Using primarily MirrOlure Lil' Johns in the root beer color, we put a great catch of trout in the boat and also had a busy day with an assortment of other species. I thank you both for the fun time and look forward to seeing you again in the future... Capt. Dan

A fine day at the Homosassa Fishing Club with my good friend and fellow Homosassa Guides Association member Capt. Mark Zorn, and we had a wonderful day fishing the Turman party. John, Richard and Lewis were on board with me and we spent the day jigging up some beautiful Homosassa trout. It was the same pattern as the last couple charters, using root beer colored MirrOlure Lil" Johns and DOA shrimp around the spotty bottom areas. A very pleasant South wind made great long drifts and the usual mixed bag of sea bass, lady fish, mackerel, blue fish, grouper, etc... makes the day fun. It's always a great time when this group is in town and look forward to your future visits... Capt. Dan
As the perfect weather continues, the fishing remains to be outstanding. Bill, Jerry and Joe were on board today out of Macrae's on the Homosassa River and we were all set to target the hot trout bite. Leaving the river, we checked out some of my southern locations and the bite was on. Just like the Crystal River trout, the Homosassa fish preferred the root beer colored jigs as well. Making long drfits over the scattered rocks and spotty bottom areas produced numerous beautiful upper slot trout and more lady fish than one could wish for. A great time with good clients/friends and a special happy birthday to Jerry. Here's today's crew with their fantastic catch... Capt. Dan
