Saturday I had some experienced anglers and we had a really good day of fish "catching". Yesterday I had the same two guys and we struggled to put a fish in the boat. Today I had a group -Grandad and his older grandkids - and we fished the same spots and had another really good day of fish catching! Crazy! I had met Allen Richardson and his grandkids Anna Claire and Walker down at the south end ramp and we headed up the Nassau River to make a first quick stop at an oyster lined bank on the last
Our next stop was up at some docks at Seymore's Pointe and this made all the difference. Once this trio started hooking up we had non-stop action for about an hour. They all three put Black "puppy" Drum in the boat with one or two being right at keeper size (all fish caught today were released) and then Walker landed a couple of Slot sized Redfish. When the bite finally slowed, we ran down to
The tide was still going out up here and not much was biting until both Anna Claire and Walker went to the same spot. Walker pulled out a nice keeper sized Sheepshead and Anna Claire hooked up too...had a good fight...the drag ripped...and fish off! Ouch. We dropped back to Seymore's Pointe, fished some rocks to no avail, then ran around to Jackstaff.
We were working the bank slowly on an incoming tide and it was Anna Claire who struck first. Her float had disappeared, she lifted the rod and set the hook and, FISH ON! Anna Claire worked the fish patiently to the boat and landed another nice Slot Redfish. Then Walker hooked up and he too landed a nice Red, the biggest of the day. Then Anna Claire was back at it. After an excellent cast to bank, again her float disappeared, and again, another Slot Redfish was landed.
We wrapped things up when Walker and Allen teamed up to subdue a huge Stingray, which we photographed and released. After a slow day yesterday, today was a great one to be out fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
