Squeezed One In

 That storm that passed way out in the Atlantic threw some wind and rain our way, enough so that I had to
cancel my Monday trip, and it looks like the wind will pick back up tomorrow thru the weekend, but there was a bit of a lull this morning so we squeezed a trip in. I met Tim and Laura Wolfe down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. It was still somewhat windy but not too much to keep us from fishing! We made our way up the intracoastal, then thru the Back River to make our first stop at a point where the high tide was running out (we noticed that it never did get real low today). Tim and Laura were tossing float rigs baited with mud minnows to the grass and letting them drift. They had a handful of nibbles - quick "takes" - and then they were able to hookup, with both landing a couple of Seatrout. One of those made "keeper" size.

We then ran up to Pumpkin Hill and fished the same way, drifting those floats. Tim had a strong hookup and battled it patiently and....it was off! Ouch! But when we pulled up to the point and drifted the other side he got busy, catching a few feisty Redfish, another Trout, and Ladyfish. The wind had picked up even more so we made a long run up the Nassau and fished a small creek where we were sheltered from the wind. 

Tim landed a small Flounder to round out his Slam, then later, he went to the "honey hole" with a perfect cast and found a good fight. He played it perfectly and brought to the net a nice 21" Slot Redfish. We came out of there and back to Nassauville and fished a drainage, to no avail, then made our way further down the Nassau, first stopping at Twin Creeks to toss the jigs and minnows, then further down at a drainage, which paid off, big time!  

Tim found that he could get his bait up into the creek and BAM! He'd have a hookup. I know I saw one that had barely hit the water before it got bit. He hauled in a good handful of small but feisty Reds, and then, just as we were getting ready to go, Big Fish On!  This fish wasn't coming in - we knew it was a big one. Tim fought it perfectly - let it run, worked it in, let it run, worked it in, until finally he wore it out and brought to the net a chunky 25"+ Redfish, boy what a fish!

We had beat the wind, caught some fish, had a few in the box, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
