Action Packed

 

We kicked the week off today with an action packed day of catching. I had met Dale Bullard and his fishing buddy Bernard Thompson down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and as we headed up the intercoastal we could just see the sun peaking over the horizon. We made our way up Back River, into the Nassau, and over to the mouth of Pumpkin Hill and set up drifting float rigs and live shrimp. From the start, the two anglers were getting bites. There were a number of Ladyfish, a couple of Seatrout and a couple of Redfish caught. And once in a while a Jack Crevalle. We fished that stretch, moved down and fished, then moved back up and again caught some fish.

After easing around the corner Bernard quickly picked up a Seatrout then Dale had a good hookup and put a keeper sized 17" Trout in the boat. We then made the run back to the Seymore Pointe area, fished a large drainage and here Bernard dueled with a couple of Mangrove Snapper and an 'ole Catfish.

We then ran down to Twin Creeks, where again, Bernard picked up a Seatrout, then we moved down to Spanish Drop, a supposedly "honey hole" and as it turned out, the duo wrapped things up catching a few feisty Redfish. Although we didn't have any massive fish, we had some good Redfish fights, and had action going on most of the trip so as we headed in we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
