It was a tough one today to get the grouper bite going, but the inshore red fish saved the day. Vic and Bob joined me for a full day charter out of Crystal River and the guys fished hard. After such a great grouper trip yesterday, I knew today was going to be fantastic. Well, the grouper escaped us today and they had lock-jaw. We tried and tried and it just wasn't meant to be. So, for plan B, we ran back to the creeks and in short order, we had our red fish limit. A free lined live shrimp was irresistible to the red fish and we finished up the afternoon catching a few trout to keep the rods bent. Thank you both for a fun time and we'll get the grouper next time... Capt. Dan
