I fished Friday and Saturday with Tim Parker and Brian Knicely during the Nassau Sportsfishing Association Backwater Tournament. We caught a bunch of Trout both days. A mess of Trout. Both days the weather was fantastic, cool in the morning, but clear and sunny with very little wind. It made for some great fishing. I calculated we hit 12 spots on Friday and 9 spots on Saturday! We picked up plenty of trout on live shrimp and mudminnows and Tim's Temptation baits. However, most were undersized. We also had a couple of rat Reds on both days, a drum and a couple of Sheepshead. On the day of the Tournament we ended up with two keeper sized Trout with one over 17" and a nice keeper sized Sheepshead. We entered the Trout, knowing that it wouldn't place us in the top 3, but we were "on the board"! It was two great days to be out on the Amelia Island waters!
