Early Bird Get's The Fish

 The last couple of days there has been a trend of catching fish early on that first of a high and outgoing
tide and that trend held today. I had met Wes Metheney and his son Jack down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning - the gnats wanted to carry me off as I waited for them to arrive, but as we ran up the intracoastal I saw that we now had a breeze and it stuck with us the rest of the day, and blew those bugs off. We made our first stop up at Poteat Point and it was a good call - first cast Jack was hooked up and he expertly landed a nice Seatrout. The duo caught a few of those Trout, drifting floats and live shrimp then Wes had strong hookup. I had seen his float drifting along and it got "bumped", then it slowly went under. Wes caught up the line, let the circle hook set and, Fish On!  This fish was ripping drag and running south but Wes kept the pressure on - he fought it to the net and landed a nice 21" Slot Redfish. 

We picked up another Trout or two then ran thru Horsehead and over to Back River and set up drifting those floats along some now exposed oysters. The duo caught a good handful of Seatrout, Redfish and a couple of Flounder. We crossed over the river and pitched across a sandbar and drifted, to no avail. After fishing Twin Creeks for a bit with floats and jigs, we ran up to some docks at Seymore's and worked the pilings with jigs and live shrimp. This paid off with a strong hookup. Jack was on the rod and gave it a good battle, fought the fish to the net and landed another nice Slot Redfish. After running back thru Horsehead we fished a large drainage, then a sand spit before we headed back to the ramp, counting it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
