Steve Carbonneau, his brother Dan and Dan's friend Joyce were spending their last full day at Amelia Island today and although the weather reports called for at least 50% chance of rain and over 10mph winds, we decided to go for it and go fishing! With a poor weather forecast, even the bait shop wasn't open so we headed out from the Sawpit Creek boat ramp with top water lures and jigs and plastics. We made our first stop at the mouth of Jackstaff Creek with the tide high and going out and the anglers began tossing topwater lures with their
Stradic 1000FI's and 10lb braid. They had a few rolls at their lures then Steve had a nice roll and the fish came back and nailed it! FISH ON! He played the fish perfectly and after a nice battle, landed a great keeper sized Trout. They had a few more hits on the topwaters but we moved on around to the Nassau River as the sun got higher and began to use jigs and
Temptation Baits at a creek runout. Dan hookedup and landed a hardfighting Jack and later had an even bigger one on for a good battle but it eventuallly threw the hook. We made our way over to Broward Island, but the tide was still high and the logs were covered, making it difficult to fish. But the anglers persevered and Dan was able to pull a feisty Redfish out of the logs. With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
