The Captian knows where the mama's are, don't worry she was released back to nuture her young.

It's Grouper Season

2007-05-07T11:11:00.000-04:00

Welcome Aboard!! Matie,

Today's fishing report is awesome. Grouper, King Fish, Snapper, and Cobia are all today's fair. Last week a group from Gainesville, Florida cought 10 keeper Groupers and 1 real nice King Fish on their 8 hour charter aboard Capt. Doug's "sails commission"

"The winds and the fishing have both been brisk this spring. On the days we can run to the humps, we have found a lot of fish, and the days we can't run, well we head to the back country to find the Big Reds and a lot of trout. Either way the fishing has been awesome."

Capt. Doug operates out of Crystal River, on Florida's West Coast. Crystal River is about one hour North of Tampa, West of Orlando, and Southwest of Gainesville, and offers Offshore Trips of 4, 8, and 12 hours for 4 guest or less, and private back-country trips for one guest. Corporate Charters and multi-day packages are available too!! Very Nice Accomadations are less then one block away with pool, hot tub, teki bars, restaurants, and cocktails at your footsteps.

Prices are available upon booking request. Call ahead as slots are filling up fast.

"Shiver me timbers mate, the gags are hitting hard, tip up and reel"

If your interest in going fishing just send Capt. Doug an email or give him a call and schedule your trip today. You will have a fantastic time and see some beautiful fisherys too.

Until next time, let your lines be tight and the winds to your back,

Capt. Doug
