Beautiful Day Slam

 Oh boy what a beautiful "chamber of commerce" type day we had today. Although the temperature was
hovering around 48 degrees when we launched, it quickly warmed as that sun came up with clear, cloudless skies. We met down at Sawpit Creek and then ran up the Nassau to set up at a large drainage north of Seymore's Pointe and within minutes the duo were catching fish on float rigs with live shrimp. They had a good flurry of Seatrout catches and weeded thru the shorts to get a couple of keeper sized fish. 

We then moved around to Nassauville and fished between two docks with jigs and the shrimp. I was hoping for some bigger Seatrout - we caught none, but Ken did pick up a Flounder, then we had another, then Larry put a keeper Flounder in the box.

After fishing a stretch of oysters with float rigs at Back River we continued on up the Nassau, dipped into a creek, and began to work the bank with the jigs. Larry eventually found a good bite, set the hook, and Fish On!  He played it patiently, letting the drag and rod bend do the work and after a good battle landed a nice Slot 21" Redfish. Ken followed that up with a Redfish catch of his own. They put another Trout in the boat then Larry finished things up with another Redfish catch. 

We had had a beautiful day and had an Amelia Island Back Country Slam of Seatrout, Flounder, and Redfish in the box so as we headed back to the ramp they counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
