Nice Box of Fish

 We had a pretty day when I met Frank and Joanne Wytiaz down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this
morning - clear skies, just a slight wind, and I could feel just a bit of fall in the air. We headed up the intracoastal then up the Nassau to make our first stop at Spanish Drop. The tide had been coming in for about two hours so we turned into the current and began tossing jigs and live shrimp to the shore line - the shells on the bank were already covered. Joanne "knocked the skunk off" when she let her bait fall down the river bottom and had a hookup - a nice keeper sized Seatrout. We worked along that bank and after making an excellent cast, Frank had  a strong hookup - one that was ripping some drag. He played it perfectly and soon landed a Slot Redfish.

We moved up the river and fished Twin Creeks with float rigs, had a few nibbles, then Frank battled a 4' Bonnethead Shark to the boat for photograph and release. Joanne hauled in a complete...Cast Net!  Some of the lines were broken but other than that, it was intact! We then ran down to Pumpkin Hill and drifted float rigs. Joanne, fishing off the stern, had let her float go long, real long!  After having a hookup, we saw that the drag was ripping some - she played it patiently and worked it in and landed a "gator" Trout that measured right at 20.25".  Up at the point we had good action - they caught a handful of Ladyfish, a huge Jack Crevalle, and a couple of  Seatrout, one of which was of keeper size. After fishing a couple of grassy island, we moved on.

Our last stop was back around and down from Pumpkin Hill, working the flooding grass edge with float rigs. The duo added one more keeper sized Seatrout before Joanne finished it off by landing a solid 23" Slot Redfish. The box had four Trout and two Slot Reds, we had stayed busy catching Jacks and Ladyfish, and Sharks and Catfish, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida. .
