The First Three Were Keepers

 We did a "share-a-trip" today putting Bob Kossman and Frank Wytiaz together for a fun morning of
fishing the back waters of Amelia Island (message me to be added to the "share-a-trip" group). We met down at Sawpit Creek this morning and run up the Nassau to make our first stop at a large outflow to toss float rigs and live shrimp on the first of an outgoing tide. It only took minutes and they were catching fish. The first three fish were keeper sized Seatrout - the biggest being about 17". These guys didn't miss many - we caught a handful of smaller but fun to catch Trout. 

We then ran thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Point and here Bob, fishing off the stern, caught a couple of smaller Trout. We bounced across the creek and fished some water flowing a few grass islands and this did the trick with another couple of Trout catches. Back at Jackstaff, fishing another outflow, Frank hooked up with another couple of Trout. We fished Jackstaff "bank" but there was no cooperation along there. 

After running back thru Horsehead and down to Backriver we set up and fished a shell bank as the shell began to show. Not much was happening until Bob had a strong hookup. He played it patiently and landed a feisty Redfish. Further up the river at the mouth of Pumpkin Hill we worked the bank with the float rigs. When we got to a couple of patches of grass Bob was drifting long and found a couple of more Trout back in a "riffle". Our last stop was fishing some dock pilings back at Seymore's Pointe before we headed back in and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
