From Fog To Sunshine And Good Fishing

 We had another outstandingly beautiful day today but it started out a bit foggy!  I had met Larry Soper and his sons Dustin and Garrett down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and as we headed up the intercoastal and rounded the corner to Jackstaff we hit a wall of fog and had to slow to a crawl.  But after easing in to the creek we dropped he trolling motor and began to fish the last of an incoming tide with float rigs and live shrimp. These guys were making excellent casts to the marsh grass but we had no takers. We crossed over to another edge and worked it with jigs and finally Dustin "knocked the skunk off" with a Seatrout catch. 

We ran thru Horsehead and around to some docks at Seymore's Pointe and set up, again fishing with the float rigs. As they drifted across a shell bed, Larry had a good bite and landed a hungry Seatrout. Then, after Garrett had made an excellent cast to a grassy point, BOOM! Big fish on!  The drag was ripping but he played it patiently and soon landed a nice 23" keeper sized Slot Redfish.  We fished a dock after that but had no luck then moved down a bit and here the action heated up and all three anglers were in on the action. 

Dustin pulled a big Black "puppy" Drum out, then Larry battled a 24" Slot Redfish to the boat, then Garrett added another big Drum to the tally. Larry found a keeper Drum off to the side while we were freeing up a jig. It was good fishing with the sun now out and what a beautiful  day!

After fishing the Nassau River docks for a bit, and then Spanish Drop, we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
