Switching to Jigs Did the Trick

 We had a beautiful morning today to wrap up the week before the holiday weekend when I met John Raker and his mother Betty out at Goffinsville Park boat ramp. We eased north and around Seymore's Pointe and tried some float rigs and live shrimp on a tide that had been going out for about an hour. Both Betty and John were getting excellent drifts - we had a few - but not a single nibble. We then ran thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Point and continued with the drifts. We worked the point, the grass line and the pockets and again, not a nibble. 

After fishing across the creek, again with no bites, we ran back thru Horsehead and down the Nassau to Twin Creeks, turned into the outgoing current, and began tossing jigs and the live shrimp. It didn't take long for this to produce. Betty had made an excellent cast, worked it just a bit and BAM! She had a strong hookup, battled it to the boat, and landed a feisty Redfish.  The duo picked up another small Red, a feisty Black "puppy" Drum then Betty had another big bite. This fish boiled a couple of times so we knew it was a bigger Redfish. She played it patiently, let the drag rip a few times, worked it in, and landed a nice 21" Slot Redfish. As we moved up the bank she had another strong bite, but this one took off like a freight train, leaving the shore and heading deep. Betty fought it from the starboard side to the port side, then fought it deep the brought it to the boat. I held the rod for a bit to make sure it was worn out good before we brought it into the boat for photograph and release.

Down the Nassau we moved and here the anglers hooked up and landed a couple of undersized Flounder. We fished Spanish Drop for a bit, fished Back River for a bit and other than a Catfish catch, that was it for the day. But we had a nice fish in the box and had beautiful weather so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
