Fall weather in Crystal River brings in overcast days cooler temps and epic inshore battles. Targeting Gag Grouper in waters as shallow as 8 feet during the Fall is where...

Great action for today's morning trip with the Platz team. I fish this great family every year around this time and we've been going strong for about 10yrs now. Josh Piper and Rick were my team today and they turned some nice ones. No break offs pulled hooks etc... they were 100% on their game. We fished in the 10ft to 12ft range and all the gags...

A nice day out of Crystal River with Chuck and Tim and these guys had a fine day. We pulled our bait traps and went to grouper digging. The gags were biting pretty darn good and we had a couple even get the best of us by taking us in the rocks. Chuck and Tim soon enough turned four nice ones and just around noon we called it a day. Great job and I...

Another great morning trip with Larry and Todd on board and it was pretty much just like yesterdays trip. Some fast grouper action kept us busy and by 10am the guys had their limit of good ones. We totaled probably 25 grouper for the morning and beat the heat being back at the dock before noon. Awesome morning and I thank you... Capt. Dan

Some quality gags for Mark and Craig and these guys did awesome. We dropped on a couple different ledges and right out of the gate it was on. We had a double digit morning and turned some nice fish that gave a great tug of war. I thank you both and great job... Capt. Dan

A great trip with Sabrina and Eric and this was Eric's birthday present to catch some Crystal River grouper. Well I didn't disappoint him and the team turned some really nice gags. Before 10am they secured a fine limit and we called it a day to beat the storms and heat. You both did awesome and happy birthday Eric.... Capt. Dan

A hot grouper bite for the Millennium Metals team from the East coast and they sure did well. The bait traps were loaded today and we had an awesome trip. Nothing to fancy just dropping live pin fish on some ledges and "wham" grouper on. The guys turned all their fish and six fine gags came on board. Great job and I thank you all... Capt. Dan

Another hot one but a good one with Terry and Jamie on board. These guys were ready to go and did awesome. We turned four really nice gags for a limit and released several others too Live baits on bottom rigs were the deal for us and I thank you both for a really fun day... Capt. Dan

Well vacation's over and it's back to work time. I'm easing my way back into trips and today Dan Lauren and Big Fish Bob were up first. We had a good trip caught four really nice grouper and had a couple get the best of us. Dropping live baits on the ledges did the trick and we wrapped it up around noon. With the oppressive heat right now I'm just...

A great time in the Rocky Mountains with Becky and some great friends. We caught some really nice trout and saw some new beautiful country. We've been going out there now for 12 years and this trip we even did some more exploring. Some of the new streams paid off great and some not so much but they will definitely produce in the future when they h...

Hello everyone just wanted to check in and give a quick out West report. The trip so far has been excellent in both Wyoming and Idaho. We've caught cutthroat's brown trout rainbows and saw but didn't hook up chinook salmon and bull trout. We're using mostly dry flies and a few streamers. It is a hot one out here and the water on the Idaho side is...

Wesley and Bryson from MS. tied into a few Toho bass recently while vacationing Orlando. Bryson brother to four sisters may join the Army (bet he goes airborne) in the near future while Wesley manages the family business. Last day of vacation.  They caught as many fish on top water jerk bait and worm ( #woo ) Read More The post Lake Toho Marina ap...

A fun one today as I wrapped up my tarpon season and I was able to put my brother Jeff on his first tarpon. Jeff and I Don't get to spend to much time together and he's been asking me forever to experience a tarpon fight. Well today was his day and he did great. He made a perfect presentation and soon enough launched one in the air. He had about a...

Another successful day with the tarpon and Jim and I had our good friend Chris from down South join us for the day. We set up again and patiently waited for the fish to come through. Soon enough we had a little window of activity and we were in fish. Chris was up and he did a terrific job feeding a whopper of a tarpon. He hooked up and about 40 mi...

Jim and I found some happy tarpon today and we were blessed to bring one boatside. The fish were migrating through as we waited off a point and the DOA baitbuster got us the bite. Lead the fish by a couple feet and a slow roll usually will get a hook up. They don't always stay connected but wen they do it sure is fun.... Capt. Dan

Jim and I got a super early start today and we had some luck on some river tarpon at daylight. Him and I found some rolling fish and we each jumped on on fly and spin tackle. That was short lived though as the sun came up and we soon enough ran back in the creeks for some snook action. The snook were biting well and we had a double digit day on gl...

A fun day with my buddy Jim as he's here for a few days and we're doing a little bit of everything. For today's adventure we found some fun size tarpon in some back creeks and were able to seal the deal on one. In my opinion other than the few permit we have here small tarpon are a tough tough game. This guy fell for a DOA bait buster and we had a...
