Got Trout?

Long John weather!  Low mid 30's with wind forecasted to be 14-16 mph (they were right!)  I met Gene Burk and is nephew Aiden down at Sawpit this morning with those conditions, but we did have sunny skies all day, so we made the most of it. Our first stop was around at the bridge where we drifted slip float (trout) rigs deep back to the bridge pilings. I was a bit surprised when we caught Bluefish instead of Trout! We moved on. We made a long run up the Nassau River, into the wind and boy was it cold! But when we reached Nassauville the wind was blocked and we had comfortable conditions to toss jigs and live shrimp on the last hour or so of the outgoing tide. There must have been a Trout convention going on down there in 25' water because Gene and Aiden caught Seatrout, one after the other. Most were in the 14" range but every once in a while they'd put one of keeper size in the boat. The biggest, caught by Gene, was right at 17".  We probably could have stayed there and caught those Trout but we had a few in the box, so we moved on. 

We ran down to Broward Island and fished a choppy last of an outgoing tide. Fishing deep with the jigs Aiden hooked up and caught a handful of Seatrout. We moved north and fished a bit but had no luck so we moved on. 

After a long run up the Nassau we dipped into a creek and worked a bank with jigs. It wasn't "on fire" but the duo tallied 7 Redfish caught. Aiden landed the biggest, an 18" Slot fish that added to their dinner plans!  We had caught bookoodles of fish, had sunny skies, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
