Summertime Trends

Today Kenny Welch brought along his friends Terry and Mimi and met me down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. We ran up the intercoastal and dipped into Jackstaff and fished the very last of an incoming tide with live shrimp under floats. At the first stop, Kenny knocked the skunk off with a hungry Seatrout catch. We crossed over the creek and fished another bank and fished the lull in the high tide to no avail.

After that we ran thru Horsehead, fished  an outflow as the tide had started out, and picked up a Catfish, a Ladyfish, and a Mangrove Snapper,
all summer time fish.

Later we also added more  Mangrove Snapper (a couple were keeper size) , a couple of hard fighting Bluefish, and more Ladyfish.
After running down to Spanish Drop and switching to jigs and shrimp, Terry hooked up with a Seatrout on his first cast, then Kenny found a "honey hole" at a grass point and caught Ladyfish, Trout, and a Puffer fish! 

Then Mimi hooked up and when her drag ripped we knew it was a bigger fish. She patiently worked it to the boat and landed a nice Slot Redfish. We fished on, and caught more Ladyfish, a Jack Crevall, and Mangrove Snapper before we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
