It Was The Jared Show

 We've all been there before - one of the fishing crew seems to have the "hot hand" and catches most of the fish. Today was the "Jared Show" - I had met Mark Averbuch, his son Jared and grandson Max down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and after making a long run up the Nassau, all the way around to a point of grass at Back River, set up with some float rigs and drifted the already exposed oysters on a tide that had been going out a few hours. Jared was on the stern and seemed to pick up two or three fish right off - a small but feisty Redfish and a couple of Catfish. No big deal, right?


We came back down the Nassau to a large drainage and switched to jigs and live shrimp and worked that drainage good, then moved down to Spanish Drop and worked back up against the outgoing current. This did the trick. Jared put a keeper sized Flounder in the boat, then Mark hooked up out deep and battled a large 20.5" Seatrout to the net. (All fish caught today were released). We eased further up to a submerged bar and just as I hit the "anchor" button, Jared went up to the bar with an excellent cast and BAM! Redfish on. He played it perfectly and landed the first of four Slot Redfish. Shortly after Jared battled a 4' Bonnethead to the boat for photograph and release.

The shrimp were getting nibbled on most casts and we were running low so we made a run up to Seymore's Point and found a huge school of finger mullet and after a couple of tosses we had a baitwell full. Back down to Twin Creeks we went and fished it just as the tide started in and like all week long, it paid off. We "theorized"  that the bait was coming down the bank with the incoming current and hitting a pocket where Redfish have been holding all week - Jared put three more Slot Redfish in the boat from that one spot. Max nudged his dad out of the way and had a good flurry of catching feisty Reds. Jared battled another big Bonnethead then he and Max took turns fighting a third Bonnethead.

We had a good breeze blowing all morning, had put some really nice fish in the boat, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
