Today I was fortunate to spend the day with "my coach," Matt Fleming. Matt is the original commander of Yankeetown and was on the Marine Patrol in our area for decades. Matt was instrumental to me years ago in showing me the ins and outs of tarpon fishing and other tricks of the trade. Well, today it was my treat for him to be on the bow and we stayed real shallow and hit some of my shallow honey holes I pretty much leave alone most of the year. The grouper didn't disappoint us and in basically five feet of water, we had double digit gags and all casting Rapala plugs. A couple whopper sea bass also hit the plugs and we called it a day. I thank you buddy for everything and great job today... Capt. Dan
Hot December grouper action today for John and Mark and we poked around the 30ft mark. The tide was running pretty good today, so we had to use 4oz leads to keep the baits down. Well that worked beautifully and the grouper bite was as good as you could hope for. Lots of good quality gags filled out our day and we even released several keeper fish in the 10lb range. Great job fellas and look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
It was day two with Mishel and Earl on board and they sure had a good one today. I took the team down South towards Homosassa and the grouper action was really good. I fished the 25ft depth range and on three stops, we caught several keepers and well over 30 shorts. Dropping live pin fish was the deal for us and you both did great. I thank you both for two fun days. Here's Earl with one of our four keepers of the day... Capt. Dan
Always a fun day with Mishel, Earl and Jason and the team did a terrific job. We bounced around from 8ft of water and finished up in 22ft. The bite was good with lots of under sized gags and some fine keepers mixed in as well. A combination of casting plugs and dropping live baits did the trick and I thank you all for the fun day... Capt. Dan
