Fishing with Tony...
The wind was not our friend today, but I had Tony on board by himself and we gave it a go. It was a bit to rough to set up on the anchor, so we trolled for a bit and did well catching quite a few gags. Orange was the hot color and Tony just wanted one for dinner so we accomplished that. A couple red fish filled out the rest of the day and a few drag pulling sting rays. A great time and I thank you... Capt. Dan
Crystal River Mix...
A great day with the Short family and they hit it out of the park. Good grouper trolling and in just a couple passes we were done. Next we just poked around inshore targeting trout with cork rigs and red fish in the mangroves. A good bite, good action and I thank you both.... Capt. Dan
Shallow Gags....
Pretty rough out there today and for the morning hours I stayed inside and hit the shallow stuff with Mike and Pat. I loaded up on bait and we set up on a couple ledges in 6ft of water. Well, the action was awesome as the first three baits produced three keepers. A couple more shorts and we finally found the fourth one and a flounder. I thank you both and great job.... Capt. Dan
Crystal River Good Haul...
A good stringer for the Carnevale team and they sure had a good catch.. I took today's group to the same zone as yesterdays and they loaded up on the gags. In pretty short order we had a limit of quality Crystal River grouper and ran inshore, and added a few trout to the mix. You all did great and I thank you all.... Capt. Dan
Quick Gags....
Finally feeling good after my last go around with chemotherapy and Shane and Bart were my guys today. I took the team to about 12ft of water and went to some bottom I haven't fished in about 2 years. Well. it was game on and as fast as you could drop a pinfish in the water we hooked up. Four beauty's came on ice and I thank you both for a fun day... Capt. Dan
Update....
Hello everyone, just wanted to let you all know I'll be going in for treatment tomorrow, so I'll be off the water for a bit. Once again, soon as I'm feeling good I'll be back on the water. I thank you all..... Capt. Dan
Crystal River, Good Mix....
A great day and mix for Lauren, Larry and Big Fish Bob. I love fishing with these guys and they always make me proud. We just simply had a fun day and everything came together from the offshore grouper to the inshore trout and snook. The weather was great and these days are special. I thank you all and look forward to next time... Capt. Dan
Day 5 with Phil...
Well, I wrapped up a great vacation for Phil with some really nice gags and some bonus snook. The grouper bite was great for us today, but I was cursed with lots of little guy's for the first couple of drops. Finally we found the keepers and four good ones came on ice. We finished up the day with a pair of snook and I can't thank you enough for five really fun days. Enjoy all the fillets and hope to see you this spring.... Capt. Dan
Day 4 with Phil...
Day four today with Uncle Phil and we had a blast. We started off catching a couple keeper reds before we ran to grouper land. The wind was still blowing pretty good, but it was doable. Just a couple stops on some ledges produced our limit of gags and some real quality fish were brought in. Some good laughs and another fun day... Capt. Dan
WINDY........
Not a grouper day today for the team, as it was blowing and rough. Phil, his son Joe and Chris wanted to give it a try even though is really was rough, but we caught a few. Plenty of tide for red fishing and had a nice limit of lower slot fish and spent the rest of the day cork rigging some trout. The guys actually caught quite a few with lots of shorts and a couple keepers as we fished in the whitecaps. A fun time and great job... Capt. Dan
