It was day two with my good friend Jim on board and we headed south to Homosassa. I had hopes in making it for tarpon, but it was howling way to much out of the West. So, for plan B, we hit the creeks back in Mason Creek and did well on the snook. I kept it simple, put the trolling motor down and hit the points with DOA glow jerk baits. Jim brought a couple nice snook in the 30" range to the boat and we saved the day despite the windy conditions.... Capt. Dan
We're back in the rainy forecast for a couple days and I did another late take off today. I have my good friend Jim in town for a couple days and unfortunately we couldn't head out until 11am. However, we did hit the window for some clear weather and did well on the snook. I eased him along in the back country and used DOA glow jerk baits on the points with good current flow. The skies began to turn dark around 3pm and we headed back to the dock to wrap up the day. A good time buddy and we'll see what the next couple days bring... Capt. Dan
We did the 10am to 2pm shift today for the Manriki group out of Macrae's in Homosassa with my great captain friends Mark Zorn and William Toney. I had the pleasure of having Jim, David and Terry on board and we did really well on trout. I haven't been doing much inshore fishing lately but from what I've heard, the trout bite has been slow. Well, I did what I felt was a good area and it was a great call. The team picked up eight real nice trout on cork rigs and bourbon colored Lil' Johns were the ticket. We left the trout flats picked up a couple red fish and it sure was a good time. We beat the afternoon rain storms by just a couple minutes, I thank you all we'll do it again next year... Capt. Dan
Finally the weather has changed and it was good to get back out. On today's trip I had the pleasure of having Crystal River's Mayor, Joe Meek on board and his family. He's been wanting to fish with me for such a long time and I had a opening and they were ready to go. I took the guys shallow water grouper digging and they loved it. We fished some small ledges and sent down the pin fish. The team totaled over 20 gags with a couple real nice keepers for their trip. I thank you all and you did a great job on the fish... Capt. Dan
