A big change in the weather from the last few days and it was great to see the sunshine again. Ron and Sherry were my clients on board today out of Pete's Pier Marina on the Crystal River and we had a great day catching some trout and sheepshead. With calm seas and the gulf water temperature still in the low 60's, we had perfect conditions to catch some sheepshead. The sheepshead spawn is in full swing, so we targeted some ledges, sent down some live shrimp and had some fantastic action. We caught numerous sheepshead, put 13 in the cooler and released the others. The tide was turning around noon and I was anxious to put my crew on a couple big trout. Well, today was the day for big ones and we caught some hefty Crystal River trout in excess of 20". MirrOlure Lil' Johns were our bait of choice and the largest trout today was a true trophy at 26", which was released to fight another day. I thank you both for the great time and look forward to seeing you again soon. Here's Sherry with today's big trout... Capt. Dan
