A busy day at the Homosassa Fishing Club and myself and fellow Homosassa Guides Association Captains Mark Zorn, William Toney, Rick Spratt, Fred Lyles, Mike Baize, Jody Johnson, Eric Tony and Don Chancey had the pleasure of fishing the Dobson party. We all began the day catching trout to secure our shore lunch orders and all the boats did a fine job doing so. My boat had five keepers before the approaching storms and then the group rushed in to the Suarez island to prepare a fine shore lunch. The Suarez island is a private residence that gives the Homosassa Guides Association permission to use when the weather is bad and allows us a safe place to cater our clients for our lunches. Our lunch was great and with an hour to spare, we ran to the keys before the top on the incoming tide and found a couple red fish to end the day. I thank everyone for the fun day and here's John and Kyle with a couple Homosassa red fish... Capt. Dan

Not every day is a easy limit of the desired species and cast after cast action. I always like to be truthful in my daily reports and the red fish today took some work. I had Betsy, Bob, Diana and Ralph on board for day of chasing down some red fish and I was almost ready to call uncle. After an easy day targeting them yesterday, today was just not so. We began our trip with a snook on the first cast and that was it! Running from point to point, and fishing some of my most productive locations; the fish just were not cooperating. Finally, I made a long run to the dirty water in the back country, free lined some live pin fish and quickly put three keepers in the cooler. We lost a couple more around the rocks, but ended the day with some good action. Thank you all for toughing it out and here's Ralph with the first red fish of the day... Capt. Dan

I had my good friend and client Jim on board out of Crystal River for a 1/2 day incoming tide red fish charter. Leaving from Pete's Pier Marina, we ran to my pin fish trap, filled the live well and waited on the tide. We had a few light rain showers to contend with for the early morning, but to be honest, the rain felt refreshing. The rain passed, the tide turned and we caught some beautiful red fish. Jumping point to point and free lining live pin fish, we caught and released seven slot red fish and made some great memories. If was a fun time and it's always a pleasure to fish with you. Here's Jim with a great looking Crystal River red fish... Capt. Dan

From the inshore species to the shallow rock piile residents, Donna, Tony and Merrick caught them all. What a fun day out of Homosassa and this great family sampled pretty much everything. We began the day on the outgoing tide redfishing and worked our way offshore. Every species we wanted to catch we encountered and the group had a fine catch to show for it. Action was steady on the rock piles and live shrimp on a 1/8oz Hank Brown jig head was our bait of choice for the day. I thank you all for the fun time and enjoy all the good fillets... Capt. Dan

An early jump on the out going tide this morning and Gene and Linda hit it just right. We left from Pete's Pier Marina just after 7am as the tide was turning and the red fish bite was on. We fished the outer points, free lined some live shrimp and had a very good morning. We boated nine red fish, lost a couple and added a few snapper and sheepshead to the mix. Calm gulf waters and beating the afternoon heat, it was a perfect morning. I thank you all for the great time and here's Linda with a beautiful Crystal River red fish... Capt. Dan
