Crystal River Trout Limit & Surprise Tripletail...

Written by 
With calm seas, crystal clear water and great clients, today was a beautiful day out of Crystal River. Mark and Dave joined me for a full day charter and these gentlemen just wanted some great fish catching action. Running a little ways offshore to some scattered rocks in 6ft of water, we began the day catching some great trout on the DOA deadly combo/MirrOlure Lil' John combination rigs. Usually when the water depth is 5ft or deeper, I just use a jig with out a cork. However, due to the calm conditions, the clacking cork was calling up the trout from the deeper water. The guys had their limit on a couple drifts and running to another location, I spotted a nice tripletail on a piece of floating debris. Quickly hooking on a live shrimp, the tripletail was on jumping on the end of Daves line. I made another stop on my cobia hot spot for the afteroon and once again we had had a hook up, but quickly broke off around the structure. Thank you both for a great action packed day and look forward to seeing you again soon. Here's Dave with a not to common Crystal River tripletail... Capt. Dan
