Hot Times in the Marsh

Boy was it warm this morning as the sun came up and with absolutely no breeze it got even hotter.  But anglers Daniel and Jo Courchesne and their son Colin were eager to get out on the water and wet a line so we met at at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp on the northern end of Big Talbot Island and headed up the Amelia River to fish the flooded marsh on the last of an incoming tide.  The anglers were tossing live minnows under a float for most of the 1st stretch and had a couple of minor bites then we switched to jigs to get down on the bottom.  This did the trick as Colin
hooked up with a hard fighting Jack Crevalle and patiently played him to the net.  Later we had good hookup and Jo reeled in a keeper sized Seatrout.  We made a move to the Nassau River and the anglers picked up a couple of more Jacks, and also caught a Snapper, Croaker, Catfish and another Seatrout.  We made our last stop at Broward Island and again had some good bites but boy was it getting hot!  These anglers persevered and landed another couple of Seatrout, and with that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
