We had a pretty day that greeted us this morning when I met Drenner Tinsley and his adult sons Miles and Blake down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. There was a slight breeze blowing as we headed up the intercoastal with plans to dip into Jackstaff and then further up a creek. The three anglers started out tossing float rigs and live shrimp and mud minnows to some large marsh outflows on a tide that had been going out for a couple of hours already. I don't think we had a nibble at that first spot so we moved across the creek and fished a marsh line. Drenner stayed with the float off the stern while Blake and Miles began to fish jigs off the stern and we may have had a nibble or two then Blake hooked up and "knocked the skunk off" when he landed a fat Seatrout.
We crossed over to a submerged sandbar with all three anglers tossing jigs and it wasn't long before both Blake and Miles had hookups - we had a double! Blake reeled in a feisty Redfish while Miles landed another Seatrout.
After running thru Horshead we made a stop at a likely dock and
We made a brief jaunt down to Broward Island. Miles hooked up with another Seatrout on his first cast - it hit just as his bait hit the bottom, but he wind was picking up, the current was still strong, and the fishing was really difficult. So we ran back to Seymore's Pointe and out of the wind and finished up when Miles caught a Flounder. We had a good variety of fish caught so we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
