Fish Catch'n Day

We had a beautiful morning today when I met Bill and Scott Kennedy down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp at Big Talbot Island Park.  We headed up the Nassau River to fish the incoming tide with jigs and mud minnows.  Guess what happened on the first cast?  BOOM!  FISH ON!  Scott worked the big fish patiently and after a good battle he landed an oversized Redfish!  2nd cast? FISH ON!   Bill had a hookup!  It went like that for at least an hour with hookups, oversized fish, Slot Redfish, nice Snapper (some were keeper sized) and even break offs.  One nice hookup had a Slot Redfish but when we got it to the boat there was nothing left but the head!  OUCH!   We eventually made a run to Broward Island picked up a feisty Redfish, some more Snapper, then Scott hooked up and caught a nice keeper sized Flounder with his TFO Gary Loomis Tactical Series spinning rod.  Bill added another Slot Redfish then he rounded out their Amelia Island Slam by landing a hungry Seatrout.  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
