Hello everyone and it sure was good to be back fishing and I'm definitely feeling better. I had a couple down days with the flu and it hit me hard. I fished on one of them (Wednesday) with high fever and I'll just say "an upset stomach", but I hung in there and we caught a few trout and macks before I surrendered to get some rest. However, today I was back on my game and Matt and Steve had an excellent trip catching trout and red fish. We fished the skinny water with DOA jerk baits for the trout and free lined some live shrimp for the reds. A really good day out of Crystal River and thank you to the Plantation for being their hosts for a fun couple days... Capt. Dan
