Smorgasboard of Fish


I had the pleasure of fishing with Scott Carter and his two sons Sammy and Benny again this year.  We met down at the Big Talbot Island Park boat ramp and although the weather forecast called for 10-12 winds it looked to be an ideal day for fishing Amelia Island back waters!  We ran up the Nassau River, stopped at Twin Creeks and fished the bottom with jigs and shrimp. Both Benny and Sammy got on the board, landing a feisty Jack Crevalle and a nice Flounder, respectively.  We ran around to Jackstaff to fish and although not much was biting, a lone Spanish Mackerel took Scott's bait!  We made a run to Broward Island and fished the last of the outgoing tide.  Here things really heated up with the anglers landing Redfish, Seatrout, Sheepshead and Black "puppy" Drum making it a "Super Grand Slam" of a day!  The sun had come out and it had turned out to be another great day to be fishing Amelia Island's back waters!
