Puppy Drum On Fire

For the second day in a row, we "slayed" the Black "puppy" Drum!  I wrapped my week up today when I met Todd and Debbie Johnson up at Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. We eased up the creek and got between two docks and pitched to the pilings on a tide that had been going out for a few hours. Baiting our jigs with live shrimp and tossing them up between the pilings paid off big. From almost the first cast, Todd and Debbie were catching fish - Puppy Drum, and Redfish, and even a keeper sized Sheepshead (we tossed it to grow). We were getting a fish on almost every cast and the duo soon got to their limit on the Black Drum AND the Red Drum, boy what a morning!

From there we made our way over to the Bell River and ran up it and again set up between two docks and
stayed with the jigs and shrimp as the tide ran out to bottom. Debbie was taking a break, but Todd caught enough Seatrout for the two of them - in addition to all those we tossed back, he worked up to 6 keepers and was almost to the "trifecta" of his limit on those, too! The tide hit bottom, so we motored around to the Jolley River and pulled up at JC's spot to fish the first of an incoming tide. Debbie got back in action and prevented the "skunk" at that spot when she hooked and landed another Seatrout. 


Our last stop was further down the Jolley where we switched to float rigs, for the heck of it, and they paid off. Both Debbie and Todd had good hookups with small but feisty Seatrout. They added a Bluefish to their catch variety then Todd topped it off with a hard fighting Sand Shark. Boy what a beautiful day we had, and with a big "mess o fish" in the boat, we headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
