The team wasn't sure if we were going to get today in, but the fish gods gave us a break and we made it happen. I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club with my good friends Capts. Mark Zorn, Rick Spratt, Jonathan Hamilton, Clay Shidler and Zach Hoffman and we fished the Scott party. It was on and off rain all day and we sure got wet. The gang came all the way from Georgia and we wanted to give it our all our efforts to find some fish. All the boats did a great job finding some trout and red fish and we did surprisingly well. I hope we can get tomorrow in with rain in the forecast and here's my crew with some of today's trout... Capt. Dan

Not a banner day for us out of Homosassa, but we made the best of it and caught a couple. It was day two at the Homosassa Fishing Club with the O'kelly party and Jose and Tim were my guests for the day. We made a couple long drifts off the keys and found a couple keeper trout before our noon shore lunch, but the action was few and far between. A great shore lunch with all the fixings gave our arms a break and my crew topped off the afternoon with a couple red fish. Here's Jose at 88yrs old running strong with a red fish from today's trip... Capt. Dan

The O'kelly group was in town at the Homosassa Fishing Club and we had a full day with a fun bunch of guys. Bill and Craig joined me for the day and we found some beautiful skinny water trout. We fished on the hard bottom areas off the keys and DOA glow jerk baits and Deadly combos did the trick. We put 8 nice trout in the box and ended the day on the high tide, with a couple red fish. Craig caught a 31" beauty and the others were all on the short side. I thank you all for the great time and here's the big one from today... Capt. Dan

The last day with the West party in town and today's charter was a morning of fishing and an afternoon shore lunch. I had Herbert, Bert and David on board and my team jigged up a couple offshore trout, macks and finished up back inside with some red fish. The lady fish invasion is in full swing and when your not getting a trout strike, you can bet a lady fish is soon to follow. The action is always fun out there this time of year and you never know what that next cast will bring. We had some tide to work with to find a red fish before we met at the island, but all the ones we encountered were on the short side. A fine shore lunch was in the books and I really enjoyed these couple days with you all. Here's David with a beauty of a Homosassa Spanish Mackerel... Capt. Dan

A special day out of Crystal River with some great veterans and they enlightened me with some very memorable experiences. I had the pleasure of having the Wheeler party on board and Ronnie, Kathy, Katheryn and Jerry were my guests. The gang was in town for a convention at the Plantation on Crystal River and they wanted to catch a few fish while they were in town. We made a day of catching a few trout and red fish, while showing them the country from Crystal River to Homosassa. Free lined shrimp on the outer keys produced a couple red fish, while the DOA glow jerk baits on the shallow yellow bottom areas found the trout. The gang had a great time and really enjoyed the area. Here's Ronnie with a really nice Homosassa trout... Capt. Dan

Still an off trout bite for me the last couple days, but a couple fine red fish saved the day. I had my great regular clients Clell and Lee on board for the day and we stayed inshore and fished the creeks, to the outer keys. With plenty of tide this morning to red fish due to the West wind, we ran south to one of my favorite points. The guys hooked up on a couple red fish to start the day and one was a hefty over slot fish. Free lined live shrimp was the bait of choice and we then spent the day trying for some trout. We found a couple keepers, but I worked "hard" for them. It was a bit to rough to go offshore to the deeper locations, but soon as the conditions are favorable - I'm heading West. I thank you both for the great day and here's Clell with today's big red fish... Capt. Dan
