New Strategy Pays Off

After yesterday's dismal luck fishing Broward Island's downed logs we decided to go a different route and fish shell beds using jigs on the lower tides and float rigs on the higher tides, and it paid off with some good action!  I met John Raker, his mother Betty and their friend Kenny down at Sawpit Creek and after running up the intracoastal, turning up the Nassau River, we made our first stop at Spanish Drop and turned into the current. All three anglers were pitching jigs and live shrimp and about half way up the bank Kenny hit paydirt and hooked up and landed a nice feisty Redfish.  We moved down the bank to Twin Creeks and worked it good and here both Kenny put
two Slot Reds in the boat and Betty added one of her own - we had our limit! Along the way we battled Bonnethead Sharks, Jack Crevalle, a keeper sized Flounder, and high flying Ladyfish. 

We then ran down to Pumpkin Hill and went with float rigs and picked up a couple of Seatrout, battled some more Shark and Jacks and Ladyfish, then John battled a huge Redfish for a good while before it managed to break off. They added a small Black "puppy drum" to the catch total, too. Back up at Bubblegum Reef we worked the bank with the floats and here Kenny had his battle with a big Redfish and this one too figured how to throw the


hook. But we had had a beautiful day, had some nice fish 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.
