One Day to the Next

Yesterday we caught Slot Redfish and today we caught keeper sized Seatrout! After meeting Brett Johnston and  his sons Lyle and Jake down at the south end ramp, we made the run up thru Middle River and around to Pumpkin Hill to fish some flooding marsh on a high and still incoming tide. We did have some live shrimp today, something I haven't fished with in a while, plus some left over mud minnows.

It didn't take long before we were getting bites and we had a good flurry of catching. There were a couple of undersized Seatrout but we had a good handful of keeper sized Trout, the biggest being around 19".  Both Brett and Lyle hooked up with those Trout while Jake tangled with a hard fighting Shark.

We fished a number of spots as the tide hit the top, then fished the outgoing tide and logged in catches of Mangrove Snapper, Ladyfish and Bluefish.  Brett also put a keeper sized Flounder in the boat, fishing a jig and live shrimp. We had pretty good action early in the morning but things fell off as the heat got up. All in all, we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
