Logistical Slam

Charles Odom and his workmate Dennis were visiting Sawgrass in Jacksonville on business and scheduled an Amelia Island backwater fishing trip on The Anglers Mark today.  We left the Sawpit Creek boat ramp at 8am and headed up the intercoastal to the mouth of Jackstaff Creek to fish the oyster banks on an outgoing tide with jig/shrimp combos.  The guys were making excellent casts and soon began to pick up bites and eventually had some good strikes and hookups with hungry Seatrout.  We crossed the creek and fished a sandy point and the action picked up, again with Seatrout hitting their presentations.  We moved on to Nassau River where the bites continued and then Charles had a hard bite and fought the feisty Redfish to the boat.  A couple of more Trout were caught then we headed up to Broward Island to wrap the trip up on the very last of an outgoing tide.  Charles caught a small Flounder then his rod got really hot as he picked up a couple of keeper sized Trout.  We were almost ready to head in when Charles felt a heavy weight on his line and he set the hook expertly - playing a good sized Flounder to the boat to nail down an Amelia Island backcountry slam! With that we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
