Everything But the Kitchen Sink

You know it's summertime when you catch just about every species that could be caught. That was today's highlight when I fished with the Smith Fishing Team - Mark and Katie and Zach. I had met them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we ran up the intercoastal and began fishing the mouth of Jackstaff with jigs and live shrimp on the last of an outgoing tide. Mark started things off with a WHITING catch, then Katie landed a big CATFISH, then Mark hooked up and landed a SEATROUT.  We crossed over the river and fished a sandbar point and here Katie landed a STINGRAY,
mark added a keeper sized FLOUNDER the Katie successfully fought a BONNETHEAD SHARK to the net.  Mark added another couple of hungry Seatrout to the catch.

We ran thru Horsehead and around to some docks at Seymore's Pointe and fished some pilings with the jigs. Zach got on the board when he landed a feisty BLACK DRUM, and at the same time, Mark landed one, too.

We ran down to Broward Island and fished the logs and here Zach

hooked up and landed probably the biggest Redfish of the day. Then Katie caught a sneaky SHEEPSHEAD and Zach followed that up with one of his on. Katie finished that spot off with a Redfish and Trout catch of her on and Mark added a couple of Redfish.

Our last stop was along some flooding shell beds on the incoming tide and here Mark caught another Red and tangled with a high flying LADYFISH.  Although we didn't boat any real big fish, we had a good variety and it made for another great day of fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida
