Casting Plugs...

A really fun but chilly day with Eddie and Chris as we went down South and found some gags. I took the guys mostly casting Rapala f18 plugs on the shallow rocks and we did pretty well. The water is still a bit churned up, but clear enough to see the rocks. The guys both turned some good ones and blue mackerel was the color of the day... Capt. Dan

Good Weather Gags...

Finally some decent weather, after four days of windy condition's!!! Mr. Emory was my guest today and it sure was a beautiful day. I had my great clients Mishel & Earl on board yesterday and we caught a couple keepers, but it was a slow bite compared to today. For Emory, we caught a really nice limit of gags up to 15lbs and a couple bonus trout to top off the catch. Live pinfish were our baits of the day and great job... Capt. Dan

Crystal River Gags & Trout...

Always a fun day with Dan, Lauren and Joe and they had a super day. Grouper were our first order of business and with great condition's, they turned some real nice ones. The guys secured a real nice limit and released a couple others too. We changed gears and jigged up a couple trout on the rock bars to fill out the afternoon and I thank you all. The upcoming weather forecast is not looking the best for the next couple of days, so I'll keep my fingers crossed in hopes of still being able to get out there... Capt. Dan

Good to be Back...

Hello everybody and thank you to all of you that checked in with me on my recent down time. I'm healed up good enough to fish and it sure was great to be back out there, after a week off to heal up. Jason and Frank were my guys today and was it ever a pretty day. We had absolute perfect conditions and we went South to some bottom I haven't been to in a while. The action was superb with a total of over 30 keeper sized gags caught and a few cobia too. A combination of Rapala x-rap plugs and live pin fish did the trick. Awesome job guys... Capt. Dan

Crystal River Hot Grouper....

Pretty awesome out there today with Chris and Tony on board. I stayed in the shallow stuff and "wow" the bite was on. The water really cleared up today and made setting up so much easier. We hit a couple spots and had our limit by 10am. With a live well full of bait, we went looking and tried some other spots I haven't fished this year " and found a new one"..... The action was great and we honestly released close to a dozen keeper sized gags up to 14lbs and there out there waiting for us next time. Fantastic trip fellas and I thank you... Capt. Dan

Team Sodium....

Good grouper today with Ted and Casey on board and Casey is the owner of Sodium Fishing Gear here in Crystal River. We had a super fun day hitting the shallow water gags and they turned some really nice ones. I fished one of my honey hole ledges and Ted just about got jerked out of the boat on a whopper, but unfortunately the hook pulled on that one. Great job though guys and enjoy the fish... Capt. Dan

Down South Gags...

Another trip down South today with Ian and Michelle and the team did awesome. I stayed shallow and checked a couple other spots I haven't been to in a while and it was great. We knocked down some really nice gags on pin fish and even a surprise cobia that followed a grouper to the surface. We secured a limit, found a new good spot; and released a couple big dogs waiting for next time. I thank you both and terrific job... Capt. Dan

Waller Family...

Holy cow!!! What a great day in grouper land with the Waller family. I took the team down South to some low profile rocks I haven't been to this year and it was game on. We set up, sent down the pin fish and it was absolutely non stop action. The weather was perfect and every body took turns catch some really nice gags. I made a quick stop inshore for a snook and we landed a beauty around 35" and called it a day. I thank you all and what a day to remember... Capt. Dan

Homosassa Club Jamboree...

It's been awhile since I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club, but today I was there and it was their annual Jamboree. Myself and several other Homosassa Guide Association members fished the group and we had a ball. The money pot was for largest keeper fish back to the dock and my team and yours truly, won the bet $$$. It was really rough and windy and I knew if I could get a grouper or two, we would be in good shape. Well, my team fought through the conditions with me and secured three really nice gags casting plugs. The floating grass is horrible and getting a clean drag is next to impossible. Once in a while though, we would get a clean pass and "wham" grouper on. We had a great afternoon shore lunch and I thank you all... Capt. Dan

Crystal River Grouper....

Just about perfect conditions for Robbie, Mitch and Mike on board and these young guns hammered the grouper. We pulled my bait traps and ran out to about 13ft of water. I pretty much stayed in that depth range and we had an awesome trip. On just a couple drops, the guys secured a really nice limit of gags and released a bunch of under sized ones too. A really fun day and great job team... Capt. Dan
