Ice on the boat this morning folks, and yes it was a cold one. I had Jeff and Helen on board for a 1/2 day trip and we found a few. The bite was slow as the gulf is still in the mid 50's, but we found enough sheepshead for a meal or two. Live shrimp on a light 1/8thoz jig head did the trick and I thank you both.... Capt. Dan

My goodness, probably the coldest I've been on the water in sometime; but we made it happen. It's been tough to make it out lately between the weather and my treatments I've been doing. Today though, was definitely doable, just the cold to contend with and we did well. I had the boys on board and we stayed busy offshore with grunts, snapper, grouper and sheepshead. A busy day catching and live shrimp was our bait of choice... Capt. Dan

Some fun today in my good friend JC and Kayla's mud boat, as it was to rough to do my grouper charter and I rescheduled. We had a blast running the extreme skinny water fishing the holes back in the weeds. Lots of action and we caught a nice inshore mix, using both jerk baits and live shrimp. I thank you both and a great time. Also, I go in for another round of treatment tomorrow; so I'll be off the water for about a week. I'm hoping to get back on the grouper action late next week. I thank you all... Capt. Dan

A really fun day with the Spain family and we did a little bit of everything. The day started on the rock piles catching some groceries for the family with some sheepshead, grunts and Spanish mackerel. Scott the dad had never caught a grouper and mentioned the night before we fished, if he could catch one. Well, that was no problem at all, as I pulled up to a shallow rock and we made six cast and produced six gags all of keeper size to be released. The day ended with a couple snook and I thank you all for the fun day... Capt. Dan

A great day jigging up some trout with Larry, Big Fish Bob and Lauren. We spent the morning on some spotty bottom areas using MirrOlure Lil' Jons and had really great action. On just a couple drifts, we secured a fine limit of quality trout and finished up the day with a few late season sheepshead. No snook today, but hopefully we'll get them next time. Great job team... Capt. Dan

What a great day with Michael and his son Conner and they sure did well. Uncle Phil had to cut his trip short a day early yesterday due to possible travel problems with this panic that's going on, but we sure had three great days. Today though, was awesome with really a nice easy day of sheepshead, trout and a nice snook. The seas were a touch bumpy, but not to bad and the action was steady. The father and son team did really well and I thank you both... Capt. Dan

Day three with Uncle Phil and not to sound like a broken record, but really good fishing and absolutely beautiful weather. The big difference today was my goodness, the sheepshead were fired up. They were almost on the surface in a ball behind the boat eating the shrimp we were using. We just kept a couple and released close to 40 I bet. Lots of quality gags as well were released and the grouper season is looking VERY VERY good. Great job as always.... Capt. Dan

The picture perfect weather continues and Phil and I had a blast for his day two. We pretty much stayed offshore for the day bouncing around and catching a mixed offshore assortment. You really can't beat the action and for rod bending fun, it's definitely where its at - plus the fish are tasty. A great time and I'll see you tomorrow... Capt. Dan

Another sheet of glass kind of day offshore and John, Bill and Wayne had a great trip. We pushed on out and sent down our shrimp. Lots of awesome action with snapper, hog fish, grouper, grunts and sheepshead. The snapper bite was a little bit slower than yesterday, but the sheepshead were really wound up. Some schools of bonito were on the surface and a few bait fish schools. Spring is trying to make it's way. Great job guys and I thank you.... Capt. Dan

FINALLY!!! Yes folks, we finally got a break in the weather and it sure was a beautiful day. I haven't been able to make it offshore in three weeks from the winds and rough seas, but today Fred and Bill had it as good as it gets. We set up on the rocks and had non-stop action all day. The usual reef species kept us busy and the guys had an awesome catch. The last couple days I've serviced the boats and trailers - come on spring I'm ready... Capt. Dan
