Fish Catch'n Day

Whooo Whooo! It was a fish catch'n day today! I had met Bryan and Janet Roach and their son Michael down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and we made the run up the intercoastal and into Jackstaff to fish an outgoing tide with live shrimp under floats. I think the first three of four casts produced Seatrout! Most were just undersized until young Michael put a keeper sized one in the boat. We had a good flurry of catching and when it slowed we eased on down the bank and caught more Trout and a handful of Ladyfish. When Janet hooked up with something big enough to rip the drag
we were thinking "Slot Redfish", but no, it was a fun-to-catch big Jack Crevalle!

We ran thru Horsehead, made a stop at some docks at Seymore's, long enough for Michael to put a Redfish in the boat (his first?) then we continued on down to the Spanish Drop area of the Nassau and set up along some now exposed oysters. Janet got hot when she landed a few Redfish of her own then Michael caught one that was
just a tad bit undersized, but the biggest he'd ever caught, then he and his dad teamed up to get a "double" catch of Redfish.

Our next stop was down at Broward Island and although the bite wasn't so great, we did pick up a few fish.  We buzzed back to just east of Twin Creeks and here the Trout bite was on fire. Bryan got things started and kept it going by catching a good handful of the Trout, then Janet joined in and caught a few, too.   We went back to the Spanish Drop spot and now fished it with jigs and basically put Redfish in the boat until we ran out of bait! Now that's a great way to wrap up a fun fishing trip here at Amelia Island, Florida.
