We worked around the corner, fished a grassy island, then headed over to Seymore's Pointe just as the tide turned and started back out. There was a bunch of mullet on the move but not much happening other than some Mangrove Snapper bites and catches.
After buzzing thru Horsehead we eased up into a creek and stayed with the float rigs. Bruce picked up a couple of Trout, had a strong bite up near some grass that broke off, then as we drifted back, Dennis had gone to the grass with a cast and had a good hookup. He brought it patiently to the boat and landed a nice 17" keeper sized Seatrout.We came back thru Horsehead to the Nassau, down to Spanish Drop and fished a nice drainage, this time switching to jigs and shrimp, and here we had some good action catching a good handful of Seatrout on the bottom. When that slowed we moved down the way, stuck with the jigs, and again caught fish. Dennis was on the stern and found a good "honey hole" where he caught a number of Trout. As we moved up, Bruce went close to the bank and to a submerged shell bottom and BAM! A stronger bite. Bruce expertly worked it in and landed a nice feisty Redfish. A few minutes again, he duplicated that with another Redfish catch.
It was a beautiful morning, we had caught some fish and as we headed in, we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
