It was day two with Chris and Scott on board and we just about duplicated yesterday's Crystal River charter. The guys were up for the challenge again, so we targeted all three species throughout the day. Red fish in the morning on the incoming tide, mid day trout on the flats with cork rigs; then plugging the creeks for a back country snook. The plan came together beautifully and here's Chris with a hefty, August full moon red fish... Capt. Dan

A wonderful day inshore with Scott and Chris and the guys had a fantastic inshore slam. The team began the day with some real good red fishing and a combination of live shrimp and pin fish, kept the rods bent on the red fish. Next up, we used DOA deadly combos off the keys and had some decent trout action and brought five keepers to the boat; plus releasing several shorts. We had a little time left to try for a snook and we hit one cove in the back country. The guys lucked upon a beautiful upper slot snook, that fell to a DOA glow jerk bait. A really fun day and I thank you both for the fun time... Capt. Dan

A bucket list fish day for Joe and Steve on board and these guys had a ball. It was a hot one on the big pond and summers definitely still here. We had a nice mixed bag today from red fish on the keys, grouper, snapper and grunts on the rocks, to cork rigging trout on the flats. It was fun to catch a couple different fish doing different techniques and the team will enjoy a fine sea food platter. A great time and I look forward to seeing you again in the future... Capt. Dan

Good to be back at the Homosassa Fishing Club group in Homosassa. The club house may be down for renovations; but the members are still enjoying the great Homosassa Fishing and making accommodations at various rentals around the area. On today's trip the Dodson group was in town and the action was very good. The red fishing was great on the outer keys; while the trout bite was steady on the shallow kelp grass patches with DOA deadly combos. A really fun day with the entire group and I look forward to our future trips... Capt. Dan

The red fish action continues to be the best game in town and Chris and William were able to experience it. I picked up the guys at the Plantation on Crystal River and we hit the keys for some reds. The tide was a little better today and we had just a touch more water to work with. I kept it simple, and a free lined live shrimp was the bait of the day. The team caught close to a dozen, and we even tried our luck for a grouper real quick. We caught a few with two just shy of the 24" mark and we wrapped up the day. A good time as always and I'll see you again soon... Capt. Dan

Always a fun 1/2 day charter with Gene and Lynda out of the Plantation on Crystal River. I began the day again on the morning high tide with some red fish action and did well. There wasn't as much tide as yesterday, but enough to find a couple red fish. The couple did just fine using live shrimp and we made our way to a shallow ledge to add a couple other goodies to the mix. Some grunts, snapper and sheepshead we also added to the today's total and as always; I thank you for the fun day... Capt. Dan

A great day to be back at the office! Finally, the rain let up and we're back on schedule. For today's trip, I had long time friends Jason, Wes and Kyle on board and we had an absolute fantastic morning on the red fish. We stopped on two different keys and were in double digit red fish. The guys had a blast on the reds, and our next stop we filled out our afternoon bending the rod on grunts, snapper and a fine flounder. A fun day and I thank you all for the good time... Capt. Dan

Today was one of the Athens family yearly trips and we had a blast. The morning hours though, were a little tricky. I ran offshore to jig for trout, but the crazy weather chased us around a bit. The storms finally started moving away from us and I could make a game plan. Red fishing was going to be the plan and we did quite good. I kept it simple and jumped point to point and picked up a couple on each stop. They weren't really concentrated, but enough action to fill out the afternoon. We had a double digit day and I thank you all for the great time... Capt. Dan

Always a fun day with the Settin the Hook team and we had a ball. Ann, Venny and Ashley were my team and they were ready to get'em. Today was my first day back at the office since my vacation and it was nice to be on the big pond. I was very surprised how dirty Crystal Bay is right now and it's zero visibility. Anyway, we pushed on out and had a fun time. We caught grouper, snapper, cobia, snook and some fine red fish. Live pin fish were the baits of the day and I truly thank you all for the great time. Here's Venny with her first red fish and was it ever a beauty... Capt. Dan

It was a hot July day today with Mike and Kathy on board and we ran to the rocks for the morning hours, then we tackled some reds. I did make some grouper stops and tried several shallow locations, but they sure did not want to bite today. So, we bent the rods on some grunts with live shrimp and on the afternoon incoming tide; we caught some nice slot red fish. A great day with you both and I thank you... Capt. Dan
