We earned them today on our 1/2 day charter out of Crystal River. The winds howled out of the east once again, but my clients Melanie and Rob stuck it out and did a great job for the tough conditions we had to contend with. Red fish was the species requested, but the tide never made it high enough to target them. Our next plan was to fish the shallow flats with the DOA deadly combos and find a couple trout. The trout bite wasn't bad and we had lots of action with six making it to the keepers size. We picked up a couple mackerel mixed in with the trout to finish out the day. Thank you both for a great time and look forward to seeing you again... Capt. Dan
