You may have noticed that hurricane Milton messed me up last week - 4-5 canceled trips! But I was back at it today and what a way to come back to work! My theory is that the fish are "gorging" themselves, getting ready for winter - the fish catching today was on fire - hands down the best trip I've had all year!
I had met Ann Mastroserio and her fishing crew Dave and Rich out at Goffinsville Park on a tide that had been going out for a couple of hours and after running thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Point, we set up and drifted live shrimp under floats. Dave had the hot hand early, picking up one hungry Seatrout after another. Ann and Rich joined in catching a few then all heck broke loose! Rather than go into the gory details, this is how the morning went - recorded all the big fish....
Ann -24" Slot Redfish
Rich - 21.5" Seatrout (ties for third biggest this year on the Bragging Rights board) Dave - 26.5" "Tournament" Slot Redfish Rich -17" Seatrout Dave- 28.5" Oversized Redfish Dave-25.5" Slot Redfish Rich - 23.25: Slot Redfish Ann - 30.25" Monster Oversized Redfish Dave - 23" Slot Redfish Rich - 28.25" Oversized Redfish Ann - 25.75" Slot Redfish
There were numerous "rat Reds" caught during the day, a handful of hard fighting Jack Crevalle's caught, Dave got a Slam by putting a small Flounder in the boat and Rich got his Slam with a keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum. Crazy great fishing day here at Amelia Island, Florida.
