Hello folks, well yesterday was lots of porgies and a few sheepshead down south and the bite has slowed a bit up North; so today we ran West. NOAA was calling for the winds to increase, so we went for it all and ran to a rock in 17ft of water I haven't been to in quite some time. Bart, Shane and Danny were with me for the day and it was a bumpy ride, but we eventually reached our destination. My plan was to just stay on the one spot as long as we could before the weather turned and see what we could do. The sheephead were there and they hit in spurts throughout the morning. The team did well and just after noon, the sea's were getting rough so we called it a day. I thank you all for the good time and I look forward to seeing you all again soon... Capt. Dan

Today my great client's Bill, Jerry and Mel were on board with me for this chilly February day. We left Pete's Pier at 9am and stopped in the bay to catch a couple mangrove snapper until the breezy NE wind calmed some. The snapper were biting right away, but mostly little ones with a couple keepers to get the day going. I could see the wind was laying down, so we made our run offshore. Heading to the south was the plan today and we caught fish, but "my goodness" the porgies were eating us alive on a couple stops. On the last stop of the day, the sheepshead cooperated and put some keepers on ice to go with the mix we picked up along the way. I always enjoy having you guys on board and thank you all for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Always a fun time with the Worthington family and we were able to catch come nice sheepshead before the rain came in. I met the guys at 9am at Pete's Pier and made our way to 15ft of water. The sea's were calm, but I knew we only had a couple hours before we had to head back East. The sheepshead were nibbling pretty good today and the hook pulled out on quite a few for us. Still, a good couple hours of fishing and I thank you all for the great time... Capt. Dan

It's definitely and offshore game right now with the chilly water temperature. I've caught a couple trout and some snapper in the river on my last two trips, but it's been slow. Today's condition's though were ideal to go offshore and Phil was in town for his annual sheepshead trip. The sheepshead bite was excellent on all the locations we fished and just a live shrimp on a knocker rig did the trick. The big females have moved in and we had a couple right at 10lbs. A truly excellent day and I thank you bud for the fun time... Capt. Dan

I was a bit worried with today's forecast with the high winds; but it turned out to be a beautiful day and the bite turned back on. I had Kay, Bill and Tom on board for the day and we stayed in the river for the morning hours. The trip began out quite breezy and we fished around the springs catching mangrove snapper to get the day going. We sure caught a bunch, but mostly shorts with about 8 keepers before we headed down the river. You could see the smoke stacks at the power plant starting to rise and I knew we could make it offshore. I made a couple mile run and we found some fine sheepshead jumping rock to rock to finish up the day. I thank you all for the great day and I look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan

Not a hot bite for us today, but we managed to catch a couple fine sheepshead. I had Rich and Janet on board out of Crystal River for the day and we fished some of my south locations for sheepshead. The team and I fished a couple different spots, but the bite was really slow. We had a front come through during the day and the wind swapped from the SW to NW in just a couple hours. The front may have had an effect on the fishing, but the largest sheepshead of season was caught today and it sure was a beauty. A fun day and I thank you both for the great time... Capt. Dan

I guess I shouldn't complain and I do feel for the people up North right now, but it sure was nice to have some good weather today. I had Clell and Lee on board for the day and we were able to run offshore and tackle some sheepsheaed. The sea's were absolutely perfect and we fished the 15ft to 20ft range for the day. The sheepshead bite was very good and on all the stops produced some fine sheep's. A beautiful day and I thank you both as always for the great time... Capt. Dan

One of those days when you could have taken a canoe offshore. I had the pleasure of having the Bennett family on board for the day and we were on the sheepshead plan. We fished some of my favorite offshore spots in the 25ft range and did well. The hard running tide was a issue again, but we hung in there with the conditions. Live shrimp on knocker rigs were the baits of the day and we even added a surprise hog fish to the mix as well. The team had a great catch of sheepshead and several were in the 5lb range. A really pretty day and I thank you all for the great time... Capt. Dan

It's my winter go to species once again today, trout and sheepshead. I had Mark and John on board for the day and we spent the majority of the day jumping rock to rock catching some sheepshead. The tide was roaring, and I mean roaring in today; which made it difficult to keep the baits on the bottom without using to much lead to scare off the fish. We made do with the high volume of water moving and had a nice catch of sheepshead. The guys added a couple keeper trout to the box to end the day and it sure was a great day to be offshore... Capt. Dan

Nothing makes me more happy than seeing a youngster hooked up to a fish. I had the Behnen family on board today and young 6yr old Nathan, was reeling them in. I worked a couple different ledges and using live shrimp on knocker rigs; we caught a little variety. Grunts, sheepshead, sea bass and grouper filled out our day and everyone did great. The day was beautiful and is sure was good to see the sun out again. I thank you all for the great day and look forward to seeing you again soon... Capt. Dan
