Trout For Dinner

I fished with the Wytiaz father and son duo, Frank and Eric, meeting them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning. We made the quick run up to Pumpkin Hill and began fishing some flooded grass on  a high and incoming tide with float rigs and live shrimp. After a short stretch, Frank "knocked the skunk off" when he hooked up and boated a nice keeper sized Seatrout.  We picked up one or two more on that stretch then bumped around the corner to fish a large grass patch.  There were a couple of Trout hanging out and we caught them, too!

We ran over to Christopher Creek, broke out the jig rods, and fished some dock pilings but we had zero bites. After coming out of the creek we made a stop at Seymore's Pointe and had picked up a quick keeper sized Trout that was hanging out at a grassy pointe.

Spanish Drop was our next stop and here the anglers caught a handful of Trout - Eric got hot there at the end and put 3-4 in the boat one after the other - and Frank found a couple of feisty Redfish up near the bank. It was an absolutely beautiful day and we caught fish so we counted as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
