Neck and Neck

I finished up my week today fishing with John Stettner and his fishing buddy Doug Wurster, meeting them out at the Goffinsville Park boat ramp. The wind was already at 10mph and expected to get up to 14 and with a tide that had been coming in for a couple of hours, I was a little bit concerned that we'd struggle. But not to worry!  Our first stop was up at Broward Island, fishing a large runout and in short order the duo put a small "Slam" in the boat, John with a small Flounder and a Seatrout, Doug with a feisty Redfish. "2-1" John announced! So that was how it was going to be!

We worked down the bank of Broward and picked up a handful of Redfish and they stayed "neck and neck" in the fish count. At one time we thought a Bald Eagle was going to dive on one of the fish being fought to the boat! As the wind died we made a move, running further up the Nassau to dip into a creek and then we worked that bank.

They stayed fairly busy catching fish - small but feisty Redfish, then John had a strong hookup and it was a battle in that small creek!  He played it patiently as the drag ripped on multiple runs and eventually brought a bulky 25" Redfish to the boat, boy what a fish. They caught more Reds, then it was Doug's turn to fight the big fish. This fish ran to the boat and we thought it was off, then it would charger down stream and rip drag, then up stream and rip drag. But Doug stayed with it and landed a 20.5" Seatrout, the biggest of the year, and big enough to go on the "board" in the 2023 Anglers Mark Bragging Rights Tournament-Seatrout Category. 

We fished some more!  Doug added a Slot Red to the catch, and the duo added two more keeper sized (18") Seatrout. They also had 3 more small Flounder and a couple of Reds that were of keeper size. Our final stop was back at Christopher Creek, out of the wind, but we had no bites so we called it day. But was we headed back we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
