The Pleasant family was back in town for their July vacation and took in a back country fishing trip today on The Anglers Mark. We met down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp on Big Talbot Island Park and headed up the Nassau River to fish the Twin Creeks. I used the Minnkota I-Pilot trolling motor to hold us a the marsh runouts as the anglers tossed their jig/mud minnow combo on an outgoing tide. William hooked up and landed a keeper sized Trout and they also had some Ladyfish action. We made run around to Jackstaff, fished an oyster bank, and had Alex land a really nice 20" Seatrout. William fought a nice Jack Crevalle and Ben landed a keeper sized Flounder. Our next stop was at Bubblegum Reef with the tide still going out. We'd only been fishing few minutes when Alex hooked up and had a BIG fish! FISH ON! He played the fish perfectly, around the bow and back to the stern, but this wiley old fish had been around for awhile and with the boat held in place, it found some current to add to its weight, and broke off, OUCH! Ben was next up and hooked up to a BIG one too! He fought his fish
patiently but this time I released the I-Pilot and we drifted with the current, fighting the big fish. Eventually Ben landed an oversized 28.75" Redfish! These anglers were in for a big day of fishing because the BIG Reds were not through! Alex hooked up and played this big fish perfectly, determined to land this one, and he did. We measured it before we released it and found it to be 33.5" would put Alex in the lead in my Anglers Mark 2013 Bragging Rights Tournament, Redfish category (scroll down right side of this report for standings) Ben added a 26.5" Slot Red, and then a 30" oversized Red. Alex added 20" Slot Red, and William put two 21" Slot Reds in the boat. The anglers wrapped the day up by landing two keeper sized Black Drum. And with that, we called it a day, another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
