Cool Day for Last Trip of 2019

After that front came thru we had a cool down in temperatures for yesterday morning's trip with Jim Barron, his son David and his grandsons Wyatt and Walker. We met at the Amelia Island Marina and made a good run down the intercoastal with all of us wrapped up tight with extra jackets! But as soon as we pulled in to some docks at Seymore's Pointe, the sun heated us right up and it made for some nice fishing weather.

Wyatt kicked things off when he found some keeper size Black "puppy" Drum on his jig and live shrimp and he pulled in a couple of those. We then ran even further south to Broward Island and fished the logs where we picked up a few Redfish with two of them being just a smidge short of legal size.  Walker got on the board with a  Black Drum catch and that's all it took to get him going.

We fished Spanish Drop, switching to float rigs, but the wind had picked up and it made for some tough casting, so we buzzed back to the docks at Seymore's and found three boats had the same idea! We tried a spot or two to no avail, then we ran back thru Horsehead and begin drifting our floats across some flooding oysters and this did the trick. These anglers had good action catching Seatrout after Seatrout - one or two were almost at keeper size, but most were small and we tossed them back.
The sun had warmed us up and that last spot the fishing heated up, so we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
