Joe's Tarpon...

Well, we finished up the 2016 tarpon season with a bang and Joe did great. We covered quite a bit of ground and located some fish in the afternoon, on the outgoing tide. Joe was loaded with DOA bait busters and did fantastic. A beautiful tarpon made it's way to the boat for some pictures and we watched her swim away. A great time as always and I thank you.... Capt. Dan

Tarpon Season Winding Down..

As tarpon season winds down, I was able to have a scheduled fun day with my wife Becky and bring one boat side. As I write this blog, the last 2 days there have still been some schools of fish around, but they are all migrating North. Also, with scallop season in full swing; the extreme heavy boat traffic will keep the fish on the move as well. It has been a great season and I have just a couple more days to hopefully have my anglers put a few more in the air... Capt. Dan

Crystal River Variety...

A fantastic day with Jim on board and today, we had the variety show going on. The gulf is hot at 88 degrees but the fishing is still quite good. The day began as we brought a fine tarpon boat side, for the morning hours. Tarpon are always welcomed, but the next surprise, a cobia popped up and we caught it on the fly rod. To keep the variety going, I made a stop on a grouper ledge and Jim tackled a couple gags up to just under the keeper size. As we ended this great day, a nice slot red fish came on board and two hefty snook threw the jerk baits back at us to finish up our trip. An awesome day and thank you for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Tarpon Boatside...

My yearly tarpon trip with Mr. Joe and we had a good day. We had a stiff West wind to contend with, but we toughed it out and found a couple happy tarpon. We jumped a couple fish and brought a fun size fish about 50lbs boat side. Joe did great and I always look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

Crystal River Mix...

Always a fun time with Bob and when he's on board, it's a great time. For today's trip, we did a little bit of everything. We began the day catching a snook back in the creeks in salt river, and then made our way offshore for some grouper. Well, the grouper bite was good; but they were all on the short side for us today. The cobia were around too, but all around the 30" mark, but fun all the same. To end the day, I checked a hole and found a couple tarpon and we battled a fine fish for about 30 minutes before she broke off. A great really good mix for the day and I thank you for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Big Poon...

What a great day with Tim and his wife Jeanne and Tim set the record for big fish on my boat. Tim was loaded with my G-Loomis 12wt crosscurrent fly rod and presented the fly to a string of cruising tarpon and the big fish of the school, took the fly. Tim set the hook and an absolute monster tarpon fight was on. The fish put on a great show and we had the leader in the rod guides several times throughout the over hour and a half fight. Unfortunately, the fish got tail wrapped and wore through the tippet. We may have not put our hands on her, but a great achievement and congratulations on a spectacular fish... Capt. Dan

Tarpon to the Boat...

Always a fun day with Cheryl on board and today was her yearly tarpon trip. She had a fantastic day casting DOA bait busters and landed a fine Crystal River tarpon. To add to the day, we also tackled some beautiful gag grouper and a cobia. Live pin fish did the trick for the grouper and cobia and I thank you for the fun time... Capt. Dan

Jumping Poons...

Some hit and miss days recently on the Nature Coast, but always a fun time. The tarpon chase is never a guarantee, but when it comes together; those days are special. A couple more weeks and I'll be jumping in to the grouper game; before I spend most of July in Wyoming. I'll check in soon and don't forget; grouper season opens Wednesday... Capt. Dan

Tarpon Boatside...

It's been pretty good out there in tarpon land this week and we've been jumping fish just about every day. Today I had JC on board and we brought a beautiful tarpon boat side. We saw several schools of fish and after several refusals; we presented the right fly to the right fish and connected. A fine tarpon around 90lbs came to the boat, took some great pictures and set her free. A great day and great job JC... Capt. Dan

In The Air...

The tarpon action continues to be quite good for the morning hours, but slowing a bit during the day. The last couple of trips we've seen some good fish, had some eaters and jumped a few. Dark colored flies are still whats working best and here's a recent shot of a big tarpon giving us a dance.... Capt. Dan
