rods with a light 1/8oz jig with plans to fish the last of an incoming tide. We have been getting a lot of Mangrove Snapper on the shrimp, but almost every day getting a Flounder, without targeting them. So when I met Jon Edwards and his dad Dale out at the Goffinsville Park early today we had a plan of hitting marsh run outs as the tide dropped. We ran over to just east of Spanish Drop and turned into the tide and began to fish. In short order Dale "knocked the skunk off" with a Flounder catch. He added a high flyting Ladyfish then Jon heated up and caught a handful of Flounder, two of them being of keeper size. We fished a few of those runouts and picked up more Flounder, a couple of "rat" Reds, and some more Ladyfish.
When the tide started back in we hit some docks at Seymore's Pointe and caught Mangrove Snapper, a couple of which were of keeper size.
Our final stop was down at Broward Island, fishing the first of an incoming tide down there. My go-to spot didn't produce but Jon reminded me that a previous trip we had done pretty good at a run out down the way so we made the move and it was a good one. Again, we caught a handful of Flounder then Jon had a strong hookup and this one was ripping some drag. Jon played it perfectly and boated a nice Slot Sized Redfish. We fished until we ran out of minnows and with the sun being up and it getting pretty hot, we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
