We had a beautiful start to todays fishing trip, launching out of Big Talbot Island Park with sunny skies and just a light breeze. I had met Mike and Sarah Terry and their daughter Madeline at 7:30am at peak high tide and headed up the Nassau River to fish the Spanish Drop area at a nice marsh runout. We held there for an hour or so because the anglers commenced to catch fish! Sarah hooked up with something big to start things off but the big fish had no intention of getting caught! Then Mike had a good hookup and a battle on his hands. He played the fish perfectly and soon landed a nice 20" Slot Redfish! All the anglers caught fish - they had a couple of Seatrout, a Jack Crevalle, and Madeline reeled in a hard fighting Stingray! Before we left, Mike caught a nice keeper sized Flounder to round out their Amelia Island back country Slam. We ran down to Broward Island to get out of the rising wind and held outside of another marsh runout. The anglers added two more keeper sized Flounder. We also had a fast cruising Manatee come by the boat and had a nice visit from the Florida Wildlife Commission who checked us out and gave us the OK! With that, we headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
