Redfish and Snapper Boys


We had another beautiful this morning as the sun came up - very little breeze and Florida sunshine!  I met Coley O'brien and his two sons Brennan and Aiden down at the Big Talbot Island Park boat ramp at 7am and cruised up the intercoastal waterway to the mouth of Jackstaff to fish the last couple of hours of an out going tide.  These two young boys had never fished salt water and werer chomping at the bit to get to fishing! They picked up the spin casting in less than 15 minutes and began to work the exposed oysters along the bank.  Both Brennan and Aiden had hookups with Brennan catching a couple of hungry Snapper and  Aiden reeling in a few feisty Redfish.  Coley added a nice Seatrout to the mix.  We moved around to the Nassau River and had a good flurry of bites, catching another feisty Redfish and more Snapper.  We had a stronger hookup and Coley played a larger Redfish to the boat.  The last fish for this spot was a very large 19 1/2" Seatrout that Aiden caught.  Further north the anglers added a Snapper then we made a run to Broward Island and added another Snapper to the catch.  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
