We Had to Work for 'em, but we got 'em.

I fished with Frank Wytiaz and  his wife Joanne today, meeting them early down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp for a quick run up the Nassau River. Our first stop we were fishing float rigs with mud minnows and had some good bites but no takers. The second stop we switched to jigs and minnows and Frank almost immediately hooked up with a hungry Seatrout.  Later he put hard fighting Jack Crevalle in the boat then Flounder.

We fished some docks at Seymore's Pointe but had no luck then we bounced around and fished some rocks and here the action picked up just a tad. Joanne hooked up and landed another Flounder then Frank tangles with high flying "something" - we couldn't tell if it was Ladyfish, a Bluefish, or a small Tarpon. Then he caught a nice keeper sized Flounder. Joanne added a Mangrove Snapper to the catch total.

Our final stop was down at Broward Island and here Frank landed a feisty Redfish then just before we wrapped things up, he had a strong hookup, a good battle, and landed a nice Slot Redfish to round out an Amelia Island Back Country Slam which made for a great day of fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
