Beyond the Ripple

 What we didn't know couldn't hurt us right? It seems like it's been two months of heat here at Amelia Island but most days we would have a little bit of breeze and/or some cloud cover to keep it somewhat bearable. For about the first hour this morning we had that breeze but then it came to a halt and boy was it hot for the rest of the morning. But the Poon crew(Derek and sons Zach and Tyler) were up to the challenge! I had met them early down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and after running up the intercoastal we dipped into Jackstaff and began to work the "bank" with jigs and mud minnows on the very last of an outgoing tide. Derek got things going early and hooked up and landed a slot sized 11-spot Redfish, then he landed another, then he landed a nice keeper sized Flounder. He had left the boys in a cloud of dust - "all gas and no brakes" as he cruised to a commanding lead in the fish count.

We ran thru Horsehead and down the Nassau to Twin Creeks and again pitched the jigs and minnows. All three anglers caught Flounder (I lost count how many Flounder we caught today),  then I noted to Zach that yesterday we had caught a couple of Slot Reds up past a "ripple"- he made a couple of casts and BAM! Redfish on. Zach played it perfectly and after a good battle landed Slot Redfish. After photographs, he went back to the same spot and BAM! Another Redfish on. We fished that area for a good while with the three anglers catching fish - Flounder, Redfish, and a Jack Crevalle. Zach and Tyler were pressing Derek but he maintained his lead and didn't look back - he had a strong bite and that drag was really ripping. Derek stayed with it, fought it for a good while, then landed a Tournament sized 26.5" Redfish, then Tyler battled a 23" Slot Red to the boat. We counted 6 Slot Reds caught this morning with three of them released. Zach also added a nice sized Whiting to the box. 

As mentioned, the trio had caught a couple of handfuls of Flounder - two were keeper size. Derek added a hungry Seatrout to his catch total and rounded out an Amelia Island Backcountry Slam. We were out of bait and all of us were wilting, but with a nice box of fish, as we headed back we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
