Although we had overcast skies this morning, there was only a slight breeze and it looked like a good day for fishing. I met David Gross, his son Drew and his father-in-law Doc down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we headed up the intercoastal to dip into Jackstaff and set up at a large marsh run out, drifting live shrimp under floats on the very first of an outgoing tide.
It didn't take long and the trio of anglers were getting bites, hookups, and landed a handful of 14.5" Seatrout. We then ran thru Horsehead and fished a pointe of grass as the water flowed by and again, had good hookups of Trout. We moved down between two docks, drifted the floats, and again, Seatrout.
Our next stop was down the Nassau at Twin Creeks but here we got "skunked", not a bite. We moved further down to Spanish Drop and began working up alongside the bank. David had made an excellent cast, but right into some submerged oysters (that I didn't warn him about), but as he popped his jig/shrimp combo out of the oysters, BAM! He had a strong bite and, Fish On! David played it patiently and soon landed a nice 20" Slot Redfish. We worked that bank for a bit and when we got to the corner we had a good flurry of Seatrout catches.
We then made the run back to Nassauville and fished some rocks and picked up another few Seatrout. Drew had hung with it and was putting fish in the boat along with his dad and granddad. Our final stop was back at Seymores Pointe, fishing some dock pilings, but to no avail. But we had had some good action through out the day so as we headed back we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
