FishFinder

I had the pleasure of fishing with the Neal family again on Friday morning, but this time we launched from the Sawpit Creek boat ramp at Big Talbot Island Park.  We left the ramp at 7:30am and headed up the Nassau River, making a stop at a large runout in the marsh.  The oysters were still covered, but the tide was going out and we fished with jigs on the bottom and a float rig.  We had no real bites we made a move back down the river to fish an oyster outcrop.  We found that if we fished a jig and shrimp combo down deep we would feel a subtle bite and could hookup with Seatrout.  Pinson IV (P4)  "the FishFinder", figured it out and got the catch going.  Later, we ran around to Jackstaff Creek and fished the now exposed oysters.  Pinson SR. had a hookup and an exciting fight with a high jumping "poor mans Tarpon" - a Ladyfish.  We found a sandbar to fish across and again the anglers found Trout, in deeper water, picking up our baits from the bottom.  Pinson added a Flounder to the catch.  At our last stop, P4  hooked up with a hard fighting Drum, then a Sheepshead to round out an Amelia Island Grand Slam of Seatrout, Flounder, Drum, and Sheepshead.
