I had the pleasure of fishing this morning with Don Smith and his friends, Jerry, Norm and Don, all residents of Amelia Island. These guys were all good natured and seemed to really enjoy getting out on the water as the sun came up. The oyster lined banks of Sawpit Creek were looking good so we started off pitching our jig/shrimp combo to shore line, getting a few bites, but no takers. We did get the rust knocked off of our casting so we cranked the big engine and ran to the mouth of Jackstaff as the tide just started back in. We had some good bites, a few takers, but no fish boated when the 2nd Don hooked up with something big that fought out from the bank, headed to the stern of the boat, rolled and flipped, then headed down river, never to be seen again! OUCH! We moved on to Broward Island, fishing the log strewn shore line, again with the jig, and Jerry hooked up out deep, had a good fight on his hands, but eventually boating a nice, fat 19" Trout! There was a flurry of bites and a few more trout were caught. We made a couple of more stops but with the sun getting high and temperatures hitting the 90's, we called it a day, another great one to be out on the water!
