Sea Sample

We had an outstandingly (is that a word?) beautiful day this morning when I met David Smith and his sons Wright and Michael down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. After a brief safety orientation, we headed up Middle River and around to Pumkin Hill to set up outside some small grassy islands with the plan to pitchy float rigs and live shrimp. The three anglers weren't fishing ling before they were tangling with fish!

Between them, they landed some Bonnethead Shark, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Seatrout and a Pin Fish. We eased around the corner and caught
more Ladyfish and Sharks. After trying our hand up in Christopher Creek where we had no real bites tossing jigs and shrimp, we came back out and made a stop at Seymore's Pointe. The Mangrover Snapper are back!  Although we had none of keeper size, it was good to see that they were there in numbers. We left 'em biting to try our hand elsewhere.

Our next stop was down at Spanish Drop where we picked up another Shark or two, David reeled a Flounder to the boat, and we also landed Stingray. It was a fun, action packed fishing trip here at Amelia Island, Florida.
