A little blowy on the big pond today and it made fishing a bit tough. I had the "boys " Lauren Larry and Big Fish Bob on board from the Villages and they always make me proud. We had a couple keeper trout and released a bunch for the morning hours. Once again we headed inshore as the tide turned and found a snook a man and called it a day. You guy...

Pretty much the same pattern as yesterday but Mark and Davis were my guest and another fine day out of Crystal River. Some offshore trout jigging started the trip as we waited for the tide to turn in. A nice limit of quality trout made their way in to the box and we soon enough headed inshore. The snook were there and it took some talking to get t...

A great start to the week with Nelson Bob and John on board and these guys did great. We started the day offshore jigging up some nice trout with MirrOlure Lil' johns in the bourbon color and the action was steady. We had close enough for a limit and caught the tide on the incoming to go inshore. The team did terrific on the snook and a redfish to...

April Cedar Key Inshore Fishing Report The Speckled Trout are on fire and are loving the warm weather on all the grass flats around oyster bars & cuts. Popping corks live shrimp or your favorite plastic baits are producing catches.

A perfect day for Dan and Jim and the bite was on. We started the day jigging up some trout on MirrOlure Lil' Johns and had a quick limit if less than 30 min. Next up as the tide was coming in we hit some points and did well on a really nice red fish and several snook. The tide didn't make a big tide but good enough to get the bite going. I thank...

A picture perfect day with Curtis and Derrick and this father and son team did terrific. We pretty much did the same plan as yesterdays trip but we had a lot more sunshine. The trout bite was great as we caught a really nice limit of quality fish on one drift. The tide was coming in so we changed gears and worked a school of snook and caught a cou...

A good start to the week with the Short family. Our trip began using DOA jerk baits in the skinny water and catching some really nice trout. I had to put the trolling motor down to cover some ground but once I did we were on the fish. We wrapped up the day with a couple fine snook and I thank you both for the fun day... Capt. Dan

I'm starting to really not like fishing weekends these days due to all the traffic on the water but we fought the crowd and made it happen. I had the pleasure of having the Paff team on board and we did well. The guys stared the day jigging up some trout and as the tide rolled in we headed East. It was tough finding a spot to fish but I was able t...

What as awesome bite for the Bryant family. Great snook and redfish action on live pin fish and some trout too. The trout action started our day and the team picked up a couple real nice ones to get our trip going. Next up we hit the points and the snook and reds fell into place and we had quite the day. I thank you all and great job... Capt. Dan

What a beautiful spring day for Rich Deanna and Jim. The team today did great boating a fine limit of redfish snook and a couple trout. The trout bite was off a bit from yesterday as the lady fish invasion did keep us busy though. However the red fish and snook filled out our afternoon and I thank you all for a really fun day... Capt. Dan

The wind finally swapped out of the SW this afternoon and like I've said in the past it always turns the fish on. Well that's just what we experienced today for Larry Big Fish Bob and Lauren. Some great trout jigging and inshore snook. The trout bite was awesome as we had three on at a time and caught all we needed. We finished up some terrific sn...

A fun day with Shane as he was my solo guest and we did great on the trout and snook. We spent the morning offshore in about 8ft of water and jigged up a pretty quick limit of trout. The tide was coming in so we hit the keys and picked up 9 snook plus finding a nice keeper in the mix. A great day and I thank you... Capt. Dan

We took it a bit easy for Uncle Phil's and Joe's last day. We found some nice snook a couple trout and topped of a beauty of a red fish for a slam. I did make a long run in hope of finding a tripletail but we didn't see any today. You both had a tremendous trip and I can't thank you enough... Capt. Dan

What a day to go offshore. Phil and Joe had quite the trip and we loaded up on the mango's. I pushed on out to 35ft of water and freelined live shrimp on the rocks. Loads of sheepshead were released and just kept a few. A great day and I thank you.... Capt. Dan

A great mix today with Uncle Phil and Joe for day two. Some hot sheepshead action on the ledges and we caught another whopper at 13lbs. We ran inshore on the incoming tide and wrapped up a fine snook catch for the day. Awesome job team.... Capt. Dan

Day one with Uncle Phil in town and Joe and we had a hot bite today. Great snook action and trout jigging. The trout action was really good and we found some nice silver trout to the mix which I haven't seen in a while. A great start to your trip and I thank you both.... Capt. Dan

A slow trout bite today for John Nelson and Wayne but the snook action was hot. The trout were there but with the tide and wind cancelling each other out we didn't cover any ground. A fun trip and great job on the snooks... Capt. Dan

A fun offshore trout jigging trip with the boys and they did great. Hot little pockets of trout action kept us busy and we had a really nice catch. We did try for the snook today but they were acting funny and just wouldn't commit to our baits. I thank you all and look forward to next time... Capt. Dan

A windy one but I'm glad we gave it a go as Tony and Brenden did great on the trout. A super low tide tide for us with the stiff NE wind and in made the Crystal River dry. Trout fishing was our only option and we spent the day with MirrOlure Lil' John jigging the trout. We reached a nice limit and I did make a quick stop for a snook inshore. Tony...
