Pinpoint Cast Garners Redfish

We got a very early start this morning, meeting at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp at Big Talbot Island park at 6am.  I had purchased 6 dozen mud minnows yesterday afternoon in preperation to fish today with Mike Morrill, his son Michael, and his father-in-law John.  We headed up the Nassau River with navigation and stern lights on and made it to our first spot as the sun was coming up.  The tide was perfect having just begun to come in and the anglers began to toss their jigs and minnows and fish
them slowly along the oyster laden bottom.  They had bite after bite from "bait stealers" but no real takers until John hooked up with a big fish, patiently played it, and landed a nice Catfish. Darn it, I thought it was a Red!  Mike did land one of the baitstealers, a Snapper, before we pulled up and headed to Broward Island to fish the incoming tide there.  The wind was blowing out of the south west and the current was still running out but the logs were nicely exposed.  We saw some baitfish scatter up near one of those logs and young Micahel made a pinpoint cast to the spot and very quickly hooked up, FISH ON!  He played the fish patiently as it got back in the current behind the boat and soon landed a nice 21 1/2" Slot Red!  Shortly after, his dad Mike fished a creek mouth and after losing a few minnows to a fish  he hooked up and caught it!  The keeper sized Flounder coughed up two of the minnows when we got it in the boat!  We fished the logs for a while then headed over to the mouth of Jackstaff and cruised the marsh grass.  John had a good battle with a nice Jack Crevalle and Mike landed a couple, too.  With that, we headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
