Rock'n and Roll'n

I had a crazy crew today - Josh, Seth, and Arlee "Harley" Colman and their buddy Kyle. I met them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and from minute one you could tell they were there to have a good time. Luckily he fish cooperated!  We ran up the Nassau River and were fishing in 10 minutes, all four anglers tossing jigs and minnows and live shrimp the exposed oysters with the tide still falling for another few hours. It didn't take long and Arlee had "knocked the skunk off" when she landed a feisty Redfish then all
four anglers were catching fish. One after the other. Redfish, Redfish, Redfish, Redfish. All undersized, but fun to catch. Then Josh put a keeper sized Seatrout in the boat and Arlee followed that up with a nice keeper sized Flounder.







Our next stop was down at Broward Island, looking for bigger fish.

Although we didn't get any bigger, we did catch another good handful of smaller Reds and Trout. We eased around to Pumpkin Hill and here the bite picked back up. Seth was reeling in Seatrout on the bow and then Josh added a keeper sized Weakfish then Arlee joined in with another keeper sized Trout. Kyle got in on the action with a....Blue Crab catch!

We made one final run around and thru Horsehead and to the mouth of Jackstaff and began to work the bank on the first of an incoming

tide. It was kinda slow but Arlee did reel in a small Red. Just as we were about to leave Kyle followed Seth in to a slight indent and BOOM! Big fish on! It was the first time we had some drag rip'n and we knew it was bigger fish. Kyle played the fish expertly and soon landed a big 22" Slot Redfish! Now that's the way to wrap up a great day of fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
