Crystal River Fishing Charters & Homosassa Charters

Wow, what a day! I had my good clients Dave and Bob on board today to target some Crystal River grouper. We left Pete's Pier at 8am sharp and the next stop was to pick up the pinfish trap. Well, there weren't very many pinfish for some reason or another, so we spent the next hour catching some quality grouper baits. Hand sized pinfish, grunts and sand perch filled the live well and I assured the guys these were grouper candy. It was quite rough in the morning, so we trout fished until the seas laid some, and then we made our run out to 15ft. We arrived, anchored up and fish on. The first three baits go hammered and three keeper gags came aboard. The next bite was the big one. Bob hooked up to a Goliath grouper and he had his hands full. He played the fish great and brought it boat side for a couple of pictures. It was in the hundred pound range and released to fight another day. The next cast produced our grouper limit, and we hit one more area inshore and caught some more trout and mackerel. Thanks guys for the memorable day and always look forward to our next charter...
