For you folks that don't live locally, the last three days have consisted of high winds, rain and dropping temperatures. Having to cancel three charters due to these conditions; today I was back at the office and ready to fish. Meeting Scott and Ryan this morning to chilly 50 degree temperatures, we ran out the Crystal River in search of some red fish. It took a little scouting around, but we found an outside point with a couple keepers on it and in a couple minutes, the guys had their limit. Next on the agenda, was to target some trout. The trout bite was extremely slow today and we did catch a couple of keepers, but for the amount of time we worked for them, it was a tough day. We had plenty of action with the short trout and the DOA glow shrimp was today's bait of choice. Thanks guys for the fun time and here is Scott with the first red fish of the day... Capt. Dan
We just finished the Homosassa Fishing Clubs annual fall Jamboree and it was another great success. Myself and fellow Homosassa Guides Association members Mark Zorn, William Toney, Rick Spratt, Jim Long, Don Chancey, Gary Cox, Todd Corneillie, Fred Lyles, and Charlie Harris fished over 25 members to a couple days of taregting trout and red fish. The tides weren't the best for red fishing, but a few were caught and fantastic numbers of trout were brought in. I had John, Butch, and Jack on board for the first day and my crew did great bringing nine keeper trout back to the dock, for Sunday's catch. Monday was a 1/2 day of fishing and ending the afternoon with our special shore lunch. I had the Green family on board for Monday and the father and son team had an outstanding catch of twelve keeper trout before we returned to the island for lunch. It was a fun couple of days and I thank all the members for the wonderful time. We'll see you soon... Capt. Dan 
Chris, Mark, Brian and Ryan had it as good as it gets inshore out of Crystal River today. Leaving from Pete's Pier this morning our original plan was to try and find some grouper, but the wind was blowing hard out of the North and our next game plan was to target the inshore species. It was a low tide for the majority of the day, so it was DOA deadly combos rigged with root beer holographic shrimp and Mirrolure Lil' Johns to keep the trout on the end of our lines. We fished the shallow 3ft grass flats with spotty bottom and had a great day catching plenty of trout. It was going to be a late tide for red fish, but we ran back to the North to get a jump on the tide and with a little hunting, the guys caught some beautiful red fish. It was one of the funniest charters I've had and you guys were really great. Thanks for the fun time and congratulations on your outstanding catch... Capt. Dan 
The red fish bite was on out of Crystal River and Lucy, Don, Nina and Joe caught some of the biggest one's I've seen this year. Leaving from Pete's Pier marina this morning, we ran our the salt river and began the day targeting some trout. The trout bite was very good, but we were catching mostly shorts throughout most of the morning with a couple keepers mixed in. The MirrOlure Lil' John's and DOA shrimp were the baits keeping our rods bent. Just before noon, the tide was rushing in and we changed gears to find the red fish. Well. we did just that and it was as good as I've seen it. We caught our four keepers, released 7 over slot red fish and totaled 14 for the afternoon. A combination of free lined live shrimp and cut lizard fish were red fish candy today. The largest red fish made it over the 33" mark and we actually left them biting and called it a day. Thank you all for the outstanding trip and always look forward to our next charter. Here's Lucy with one of today's over slot reds... Capt. Dan
