Woooo Weee.... It was a cold one today with Ross and Mindy on board and there was even a little ice on the boat this morning. I was a bit worried with the front passing, but the bite was really good. The winter time trout locations started our day and we did very well. The team and I put fifteen beautiful Crystal River trout on ice and we then ran a bit offshore. The grouper bite was pretty good with a couple keepers, plus several shorts for our time offshore. The nice surprise and bonus were, the triple tail. The triple tail were free floating and it was tricky to catch them. However, we found a couple that would stay up and they are always a welcomed catch. It's been a long time since I've seen you guys and I thank you both for the fun time... Capt. Dan

One more day with a fine mixed catch with Joe and Joann on board and on today's trip, we made our way offshore a bit. The cobia run is in full swing, so I ran to some of my favorite haunts and we did very well. We hooked four cobia, landed 2 and also over a dozen keeper sized gag grouper. Live pin fish was the bait of the day. For the afternoon hours, we added some trout and triple tail to the total and I thank you both for a great day. Here's the couple with a fine cobia, well over the 30lb mark... Capt. Dan

A good mix today with Casey from Sodium Fishing Gear on board and we had a ball. We started the day running down some triple tail and caught a few, but all were on the short side. I was eager to try a couple new trout locations I marked recently and we gave them a try. Well, it was a good call and the action was superb. Casey made six casts in a row and caught six keepers. He and I finished off out limit in no time and even picked up a fine cobia as well. A great day and I always look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

What an awesome time with the Manning party out of Crystal River and these gentleman had an awesome catch. I met the guys at the Plantation on Crystal River and we had a blast tackling the trout. We covered some ground from the shallow flats, to the offshore rocks and did very well. The team put an awesome catch of trout in the cooler and some real nice fish over 20" as well. Some mixed bag species came on board as well; including red fish, Spanish mackerel, jacks and blue fish. A great time and congratulations on a outstanding catch... Capt. Dan

It's been a while, but always a fun time with the Short family and we had a little variety. I made the trout run first thing this morning and we did very well on the incoming tide. Jigging MirrOlure Lil' Johns in the bourbon color was the flavor of the day for our limit of trout. Next up, we ran down several triple tail but all were just on the short side, but fun all the same. We added a pair of snook to the catch for the day, but we did work for them using DOA glow jerk baits. I thank you both for the great day and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

Another beautiful day here in Citrus County and Frank and Scott had a nice variety. The day began jigging up some trout along the rock bars with MirrOlure Lil John's and the trout cooperated nicely. We put a fine limit on board and our next target, was running down some triple tail. The triple tail were plentiful, and a simple free lined live shrimp up current from them did the trick. The rest of the day we spent tackling the snook and the team and I went 1 for 4, plus a red fish; to wrap up the day. I thank you both for the fun time and I look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

A good mix today out of Crystal River with Dave and Danny on board and these gentlemen had a ball. The wind and seas backed off today and allowed me to do a little variety in the day. I began the trip on the little bit of incoming tide we had, and started red fishing. We picked up a pair of nice keepers to start the trip on live shrimp. The water was leaving fast, so the guys jumped right in to trout mode and we did well. Both inshore and a bit offshore, we found several fine trout. With some time to spare and the conditions were right - we tackled some triple tail. The triple tail action was absolutely fantastic and in short order, we had some good ones to finish off the day. I thank you both for the fun time and you were a pleasure to have on board... Capt. Dan

An unbelievable day with my great friend and team mate Capt. Clay Shidler and we had the pleasure of fishing the Kennedy party out of the Plantation on Crystal River. My crew of Mike, Jacob and Mike had an absolute fantastic trip targeting trout, red fish and a few Spanish mackerel. From offshore jigging, free lining shrimp and shallow water jerk baits; the team had an awesome day. Both boats had a great catch of trout, red fish and Clay's team had a couple fine triple tail to add to the mix. We both really enjoyed the day and we look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

Everyday is great on the water, but as many of you know; some days are special. Today I had Cheryl on board and what a day we had. We jumped a beautiful tarpon and fought it for several minutes before it spit the hook. We saw a couple others, but left them to pursue some other species. Next on the list, we found a fine triple tail which was another first for Cheryl. After the triple tail, we were near one of my favorite snook locations, so I suggested giving snook a try. Believe it or not; the plan came together and we landed a beauty of a snook. To top off the day and another first, I hit the Ozello back country and she landed six fine red fish to end our day. A wonderful day and I thank you for the fun time... Capt. Dan

What another fun day running down the triple tail with Joe and Joanne and we did awesome. We left from Pete's Pier just after 8am and ran the crab trap buoys once again. We covered quite a bit of ground and totaled eight triple tail for the day. In between triple tail action, we also jigged up some trout and chased a few tarpon around as well. A great day and I always enjoy my days with you both... Capt. Dan
