New Spots

I was meeting Steve Locke and  his brother Mike down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and rather than making my usual run up the Nassau we decided to fish the area a bit before we left. We first eased around and fished the Sawpit Creek bridge with slip floats. We had an extremely low tide and I had expected it to be starting back in but it was stubborn and was still going out as we fished. But we did pick up a couple of  hungry Seatrout and a couple of feisty Bluefish.

Our next stop was over at the intercoastal, fishing a downed tree and here we had some action. Steve was the first to hookup and it was a nice Seatrout and it was almost to the the net and....it threw the hook! Ouch. But these two anglers were persistent and kept fishing and caught a few more Trout - Mike with a keeper. They also caught a handful of feisty Redfish and a couple of those had multiple spots.

We did then run up the Nassau and fished a dock thoroughly. Not much was happening except a Seatrout catch by Steve. After running around the corner, we fished some docks at Nassauville, then we fished Broward Island (and had a Bald Eagle fly over), then we made the run up to the mouth of Lofton Creek to pick up one  more Seatrout. 

The day had been cool and clear with only a bit of wind so as we made the long run back we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
