Penny's Slew

 | By Seamus on 7/29/2024 6:04:00 PM | Views (34)

 I fished this morning with the Parks, Jeff and Penny, meeting them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early. We headed up the intercoastal, then up the Nassau, and around to Back River and set up fishing a stretch of  grass with the oysters just beginning to show on an outgoing tide. We had plenty of mudminnows and a few dozen live shrimp and they both caught fish. Penny got hot catching small but hungry Seatrout then both anglers caught some feisty Redfish. We could see some big wakes up in the shallows so we moved in and made some good casts but we had no takers. 


Moving back out we fished the bank again. There had been some commotion along the bank and when Jeff got a good drift, BAM! He float sunk under and, Fish On!  Jeff played it patiently and soon brought to the boat a Big 19" Flounder! Boy what a fish! After a handful of more small Reds, we moved on.  Our next stop was back down the river at Twin Creeks. Both anglers fished the floats, then switched to jigs, but we had no real bites. 

We moved down the river to a large drainage (I need to name this spot!) and here the action picked up again. The duo caught a handful of those feisty Reds before we moved on. As we had moved around I was keeping my eye on a spot that I knew had to be fished just a little bit before low tide. We headed there now and we were about too late! It was just on the back side of a point with a long sandbar showing. I had only fished it one time and the way it was set up was the current came round the point then crossed the bar and ran along side some oyster outcrops The first time I fished it my guest got a good drift and when his float reached the oysters, BAM!  Today, Penny was on the stern and after a good cast over the sandbar she got that good drift. I was about to give up  on it but when here float just passed the oyster bar, BAM! Fish On!  Penny played it perfectly, worked it up to the edge of the bar, and then drug the Slot Redfish over in 4" of water. How cool! But she wasn't finished - she also caught a Flounder and another feisty Redfish, bringing both over the bark in that shallow water. I could tell Penny was zoned in and had figured this spot out so I've named it "Penny's Slew"!

We eventually moved on, ran thru Horsehead, and fished Jacksaff "bank" where Jeff finished things off catching a handful of those feisty Reds, and another Flounder or two. We then headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
