Beautiful day tough fishing

I attended the NSFA social the other night and comparing notes with other anglers, the consensus was the "catching" has been slow lately, and today was no exception. Luckily I had some guests with good attitudes and happy to be out on the water here at Amelia Island. I had met brothers Don and John Muzursky down at Sawpit (after a winding drive taking a detour around the construction at Buccaneer Trail) and we headed up the intracoastal on a beautiful morning - pleasant temperatures, complete sunshine, and just a slight breeze. Our first stop was at a drainage on the Nassau where we went with jgis and live shrimp, pitched to the bank to let the current bump it along the bottom. We may have had a nibble or two, but that was it. We backed down the river to Spanish Drop and stayed with the jigs, tossing to the now exposed shell bank on a tide that had been going out a few hours, but again, only nibbles. 

Our next stop was up to Nassauville where we eased in between two docks to fish the shallow, then deep drop off. Don, fishing of the stern, had let his jig and shrimp fall out deep and when he felt a good thump he set the hook expertly and Fish On! Don worked it to the net patiently and landed a hungry Seatrout to "knock the skunk off". We then ran way up the river to small creek where I've been getting some Redfish - I could almost guarantee it - but I'm glad I didn't today! These guys worked the bank thoroughly - I joined in for a few casts and we worked it good, but not a real single bite, ouch! Back down to Broward Island we went and fished it in two or there areas with the jigs, and again, not a real bite that we could say was a fish.

The final stop was back around at Seymore's Pointe on the first of an incoming tide, and this did the
trick! Don hooked up and landed a plump Sea Bass then John got on the board when he found a hot spot of Black "puppy" Drum. He said the bite was very faint, just a nibble, and he'd have to set the hook, catching a good handful of them. Luckily, we had ended the day with a little bit of action and it was such a pretty day, as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
