A good mix with Bart, Shane, Nick and Nathan on board and we sure had a fun time. The sea's were up a bit and couldn't go to far offshore, but we made it happen. We dropped down the shrimp on a couple different rock piles and stayed real busy on the out going tide. Some quality sheepshead came on board and had several come unbuttoned as well. We picked up a couple trout too and I thank you guys for the fun time... Capt. Dan
Hello everyone, it's been pretty tough getting trips in this week and I apologize for the weather we've been having. Today though, I was able to fish the Crystal River Sodium Fishing Gear tournament and had a blast. I don't get to fish by myself very often, but today I did and caught a lot of fish. I had a good day with over 30 keeper trout up to 21" and red fish to 25". I took my Silver King skiff and stayed busy just about all day. The wind was howling and made it challenging, plus the very low tide. I just couldn't find that big 5lb trout, but still fun all the same. Hopefully we'll get them next year and I'll see you all soon... Capt. Dan
Well, we got blown off the big pond for today's offshore charter, so for plan B; my friend hunter and I spent the day on the Rainbow River tackling some bass. It's been just about 20 years since I've been on the Rainbow and it sure brought back some good memories. The bass fishing is still great and we totaled around 25 for the day using a combination of top-water plugs and soft plastics. Gin clear water and light line makes it a bit challenging, but that's half the fun. We saw some whoppers in the 10lb range, but our largest to the boat was around 5lbs. A super great time and I can't wait to do it again... Capt. Dan
Always a fun time with Clell on board and he was my solo guest today. He and I set off to the sheepshead grounds and did very well. We sent down the shrimp and had plenty of action with grouper, sheepshead and grunts. A nice bonus, was the first keeper triple tail of the year; as I spotted it on a weed patch and it quickly took a shrimp. I thank you Clell and enjoy all the fillets.... Capt. Dan
