Nibbl'n Puppy Drum

I had the pleasure of fishing again with Tim Carson -  his birthday trip - and he brought along his step-son Cody and grandson BeBo to enjoy a great day out on the water here at Amelia Island. And a pretty morning it was! We met down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and headed up the Nassau River with the tide still coming in. Our first couple of stops were at some marsh runouts (running in now!) and even though the trio were making excellent casts, we had no real bites.

We buzzed further up the Nassau and to Pumpkin Hill and this did the trick. Tim "knocked the skunk off" when he landed a hungry Seatrout. Then Cody's rod got hot and he caught a couple of Black "puppy" Drum, a feisty Redfish, and a Ladyfish that wasn't so "high flying". Tim fished long and picked up a good keeper sized Seatrout before we moved on.

After dipping into Christopher Creek we went to jigs and shrimp
and now all three anglers got in to the action. BeBo and Cody teamed up to reel in  the biggest Redfish of the day - a six spotter - then BeBo, after making an excellent cast to the marsh line, hooked up and, Fish On! He worked the fish patiently to the boat and landed a nice Black Drum. 

We fished some docks at Seymore's Pointe, then ran thru Horsehead and fished the mouth of Jackstaff, but the sun was up, it was getting "warm", so we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
