Dreary Day But Good Fishing

There was no real rain forecasted for today but it misted the entire morning. The horizon stayed foggy and it was a bit cool which made for a dreary day to be out on the water. BUT, the fishing was great! I had met Ray Pinkston and his fishing buddies Jim and Tommy down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and we then made a short run up the Nassau to make our first stop at Spanish Drop with just an hour left on the falling tide. The anglers began pitching  jigs and shrimp and minnows to the exposed shell bank but all they got for their efforts was the "tap, tap, tap" of bait stealers. With no fish caught a shadow of doubt began to creep in.

That was short lived though!  We moved up at a large drainage with Ray and Tommy pitching to the
middle of the drain while Jim worked the back edge and it was Jim who got hot quickly. He caught a couple of feisty Redfish then a good handful of hungry Seatrout, then finally, one that was of keeper size. Up at the bow the fish catching picked up. Ray got hot with the Seatrout and worked thru a good handful of smaller ones to get a good keeper. With Flounder season being closed, wouldn't you know the trio put a few Flounder in the boat, with a couple of them being over 14"!  We stayed there for while and caught some fish!


Our next stop was up at some docks at Seymore's where we got a few nibblers, a bait stealer, and moved on. Down at Broward on the first of the incoming kicked things off again. Tommy came alive! He caught a keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum, then a hard fighting 22" Slot Redfish. Jim followed that up with another keeper sized Black Drum and Ray added another 17" Seatrout. Again, legal sized Flounder were caught. After fishing on the south end with an eagle, we made one more stop back at Nassauville.



Tossing to a drainage and working it out paid off. Some more Trout were caught and then a nice sized Weakfish to top the box off. Also caught today were a couple of small Sea Bass, a Bluefish, a Catfish, and a Toadfish. Although the day was nasty with the weather, we had caught a bunch of fish, had a few in the box so as we headed back to Sawpit we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
