We had a beautiful morning when Walter Cochran and I left the Sawpit Creek boat ramp this morning with the sun peaking over the south end of Amelia Island. We headed up the intercoastal and dipped into Jackstaff and began fishing the bank with float rigs and live shrimp on an incoming tide. The float rigs just weren't working though so we switched to jigs and this did the trick! Walter began to get hookups and landed a few feisty Redfish and then some Seatrout, one of which was of keeper size - (all fish caught today were released).
After running thru Horsehead we fished some
docks at Seymore's Pointe, picked up a nice sized Croaker, then moved on down towards Spanish Drop and fished a large run-out. Walter was making excellent casts and we worked the bank thoroughly. We tangled with a Ladyfish and picked up another Trout before we moved on.
Our final stop was down at Pumpkin Hill. The tide had been coming in for a while, was almost high, so we switched back to the float rigs. We were fishing in about 3.5 foot of water around some grassy islands and after Walter put his float in a perfect spot, let it drift, BOOM! Nice Trout on! He continued to work that area and, BOOM! Bigger Trout on! He went back to the area and BOOM! Biggest Trout on! The float rigs finally payed off and it ended up making for a great way to wrap up a fishing trip here at Amelia Island, Florida.
