Ray Bill Desiree Shannon and Kieth from New Jersey got onboard with @Bassonline for an early morning bite they had several Toho FL toads from the hydrilla lines in 4-7’ water. Fish surface activity was good and water quality same mid lake.  We watched a pesky dragon fly drop the egg sack into the boat.  Read More The post Early Morning Bite with N...

A breezy one out there for Chuck and Rena and we did well on the trout. The tide was a weak one today so for sure fire action I said lets do the trout plan. Well it worked out really well and we had a limit by 11am using Lil' Johns. I did make a stop inshore and Rena caught her first snook but just not enough tide movement to get the red fish goin...

Well today was my last day of the spring 2021 snook season as I have to do treatment tomorrow and the season ends Friday. Terry and Corey were my guest and a fine catch was had. Offshore trout filled out our morning and they were fired up. Lots of action with under sized fish plus some real quality keepers. On the inside the snook bite was superb...

We sealed the deal on the big three today for our inshore slam of trout red fish and snook. Brian and Corey were my team and they did really well. A nice trout limit began our day and on the inside we found our reds and snooks. The red fish were on and we caught and released about 6 nice slot fish to wrap up our slam. I thank you both and great jo...

A great start to the week with the Sans team on board. Tony Steve and Ray did well as we stared the day jigging up some trout. Watermelon colored Lil' johns did the job on the trout and we soon enough headed back inshore for a couple snook. The snook were a little tricky today and it definitely took some work to get them going. We did though and e...

Our last day with the West party in Homosassa and my goodness the fan was on high today! A strong and I mean strong South wind was with us and the only plus was it brought the tide in. We boated a couple trout but Anita and Batie did excellent on the reds. I tucked up in the creeks to seek some shelter form the wind and hit a hot pocket. The ladie...

A couple good days in Homosassa with the West party and for breezy conditions we did well. Thursday and Friday both consisted of some tough fishing but my teams did great. We did well on trout and each trip produced a keeper snook. A fine shore lunch was included by myself and fellow guides Mark Zorn Rick Spratt John Hamilton and Mike Baize. We al...

A post front day with Shane and Randy and we did well considering the tough conditions. Gusty NE winds didn't allow for much water to come in but we made the best of it. Some nice trout started out trip but Shane requested redfish on the half shell for dinner; so I changed gears and we found some nice ones. I pulled up to one point and on the East...

What an afternoon trip with my good buddy JC. I had a charter scheduled but due to the morning rains and traveling from the Tampa area it was just to much of a gamble so we cancelled. So just for fun JC and I did a late take off and did awesome. We fished a couple areas I've been wanting to try and they paid off. Some real quality snook and a bonu...

A super fun day with Mishel and Earl and we did something a bit different. We did some trolling and checked on the grouper population for the start of our trip. Well I assure you they are there and we caught several before we ran inshore and tackled some snook. Rapala F18 plugs did the trick on the gags. The afternoon snook action was good as well...

Big snook of the season for the Short family on board and Jeanne landed a whopper. Today's trip was good as we had a nice mix of trout snook and a red fish. The highlight though was Jeanne doing a heck of a job turning and landing a snook of a lifetime. She kept it out of the mangroves and when we put her on the scale it read 22lbs and over 40". A...

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...

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
