I fished with Ross and Rob Gibbs today, meeting them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early., We made the run up the intercoastal and dipped into Jackstaff, and into a smaller creek then set up outside a drainage on the first of an outgoing tide. This was the same exact spot where I fished yesterday and we had gotten a nice keeper sized Seatrout and I was thinking, "maybe again"! And sure enough the guess paid off - Rob had his float rig with live shrimp disappear and after he caught up to it, he lifted his rod and "fish on"! Rob brought it to the net and landed a nice 18" Seatrout to start the day!
We had a couple of bites but no takers until Ross had a strong bite that started ripping drag and heading south and BAP!, Fish Off! Then Rob hooked up and landed a small but feisty Jack Crevalle. We moved over to Poteat Cut and fished a stretch but had no luck, then we ran thru Horsehead and fished a large drainage there. We did have some bites but no takers so we moved down the Nassau.
Our first stop was at Twin Creeks and here we switched to jigs and shrimp. Rob hooked up and landed a hungry Seatrout and when we moved own to another drainage, Ross hooked up and landed another. We fished Spanish Drop for a bit then made another run, this time up the Nassau and into a little creek. The duo of anglers worked it thoroughly and although the conditions were perfect, we had no bites.
Back to Seymore's Pointe we came to fish some docks and here they sharpened their skills dueling with Mangrove Snapper. Some they won, and some they lost. We made one final stop back at Sawpit where they picked up a couple of baitstealers. Ross did have a good fish on for a bit, one that was putting a bend in the rod but it threw the hook to send us on our way. But as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
