Warm Water Brings Hot Fishing at Amelia Island

It looks like we're getting back to "work" this week - I've had a handful of bookings. Today I fished with Trey Dennard, his GF Maria, and her son Mario, meeting them out at the Goffinsville Park boat ramp early this morning. The tide was still going out so we bumped down to Broward Island and fished jigs and live shrimp up between the logs. Although we didn't find any big Redfish, the trio did hookup and land a handful of hungry Seatrout and it was Mario who "knocked the skunk off" with the first one. Trey wrapped it up
with the biggest, a 17" keeper fish.   We moved down the way as the tide started back in and here Trey put a keeper sized Flounder in the boat (one that had a gig hole thru and thru) and the team also landed another Trout or two.

We buzzed over to Spanish drop and fished jigs and float rigs. Maria put another keeper sized Flounder, Trey added a Redfish that was just under the legal limit, then all three were tangling with high flying Ladyfish that were sweeping in and attaching their shrimp.

Our next stop was some docks at Seymore's Pointe where we had no real bites, then we wrapped things up back towards Goffinsville and put two 10" Mangrove Snapper in the boat, the first of the year - and indication the water is getting warmer here at Amelia Island, Florida.
