Beating The Wind For A Grande Slam

We knew that the wind was supposed to pick up today as we fished, so we got out early and got some good catches in before it really picked up. I met David Morton and his son Charlie down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we headed up the intracoastal, then up the Nassau to make our first stop at Spanish Drop. I had planned to keep going on up to Seymore's Pointe by I noticed the tide still had about 45 minutes to low so we pulled up and began pitching jigs and live shrimp and minnows to the exposed shell bank. We fished it good, drifted along the bank and fished it more and David kicked things off when he had a strong hookup and battled to the boat a nice Slot sized Redfish.  Charlie "spotted" his dad a few fish - David put another couple of feisty Reds in the boat before Charlie hooked up (with minnow as bait), a keeper sized Black "puppy Drum.

We then did make our way up to Seymore's Pointe to fish some dock pilings on the first of the incoming tide - it's a new dock and we got.....skunked! Not a bite. I motored around to Nassaville and there was a boat fishing where I wanted to stop so we kept going on down to Broward Island - the tide was still going out up there, but we set up and it paid off. Charlie got hot, fishing to a stump - he caught a handful of feisty Redfish, a couple of Sheepshead, one of which was of keeper size. Shortly after, Charlie had a strange "bump", a strange fight, and when he brought the fish to the surface we saw that it was a keeper sized Flounder which he handily landed.  David followed those up with some Redfish catches and a Sheepshead catch. The duo had a Grand Slam in the box - a Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead and Flounder.

We fished in a creek further up the river and added a couple of small Redfish to the catch total, then finished up fishing at Littlefield where Charlie added one more keeper sized Drum to the box then one of the biggest Croaker that I have seen. The wind was really kicking by this time but we had stayed in behind land masses and had caught fish so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
