Blake and Karin Flood treated their daughters to their first fishing trip this afternoon, meeting me down at the Big Talbot Island Park boat ramp. The wind had picked up and I was a little apprehensive about it but these anglers were game! We made a run up the Amelia River and fished a few creek run outs in Jackstaff. Young Claire got the "skunk off the boat" by landing a hungry Bluefish, then Karin and Blake followed it up with Seatrout catches. We ran around to Nassau River to fish the Twin Creeks but had no bites, got out of the wind at Seymore's Pointe for a while, then headed over to Broward Island after the tide had gotten down. Here things immediately picked up. Young Abigail landed her first fish caught ever - a feisty Redfish and then Karin had a strong bite. Her rod bent over and the drag ripped out, FISH ON! She fought the fish patiently and after a good battle, landed a big 25.75" Slot Sized Redfish, her first Redfish ever! The anglers continued to fish and picked up more Seatrout and Redfish with Blake getting both and then adding the second Flounder of the year, to round out his personal Amelia Island Back Country Slam. Everyone caught fish and as we headed in, the wind had subsided, and we counted it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
