Private Waters? Trophy Trout!

The weather cooperated with our plans to fish today - it was looking "iffy" earlier in the week but as we got closer today it appeared the winds and rain would hold off until after out trip. I met Don Walters and his longtime friends and fishing buddies Alex and Bruce down at Sawpit Creek early and we headed up the Intracoastal and then into the Nassau to make our way up to Nassauville to make our first stop at a couple of docks to fish the last of an outgoing tide with jigs and live shrimp. The "baitstealers" were on fire! We may have gotten a Trout there but most of the bites were the little perch - good practice for hooking up but not what we wanted!


We then bounced around to fish some Seymore's Pointe dock pilings - worked one, then eased along
and pitched to others. This paid off when Bruce, fishing off the stern, had a strong hookup and boated a nice feisty Redfish. We stayed on the outside of the docks, pitching forward, and the trio caught a good handful of small but hungry Seatrout.




After making the run down to Broward we worked the bank pretty good, but again, a ton of baitstealers -maybe a trout or two. We then made that long run up the Nassau to dip into a creek and fished the first of an incoming tide. Unfortunately that forecasted wind was right on time and it was really blowing into us. But it didn't deter these anglers - Bruce again found a good hookup off the stern - this one was ripping a bit of drag and sure enough, when landed, it measured in the Slot - our first keeper! We fished on down the bank and found a "honey hole" of fish. These weren't "private waters" but it sure was nice to get a good flurry of fish. Don hooked up and landed a nice 17" Seatrout, then Alex followed that up with a big 19" Trout. Then all three were catching Redfish. Two of those fish measured right at 17 3/4" and had to go back but as we worded down the bank Don found another Red that fit into the Slot. We had a good bit of action with smaller fish early, topped it off with some keeper fish later, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
