Fish'n and Crab'n

We kicked off the week (and month) with a trip out of Goffinsville Park this morning when I met brothers Gordon and George Piasecki early. Gordon had brought along a couple of crab traps to try out at each spot we fished and it worked out pretty good. We made a quick run over to Pumkin Hill on a high tide that still had about 30 minutes of coming in - so it was pretty high - but we still had a current so we went with float rigs and live shrimp. The duo was getting excellent drifts and we had some bites and it was George who "knocked the skunk off" with a nice Seatrout catch.  We fished both sides of the point and picked up a couple of more Trout, but between the wind, the quirky current, and the sun glare, it made it difficult to see the floats, much less hook 'em up when they went under.  George had dropped the traps over the side, baited with raw chicken necks, but we had no takers. 

After motoring back around to Seymore's Pointe we drifted a large drainage, to no avail. We set the crab traps but they too went  unmolested. We then made the run thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Point and stuck with the floats. We got a few nibbles then George went up into a pocket with  his cast, worked it around a point and BAM! Fish On!  George played it perfectly, worked it in, let it run, worked it in, and eventually landed a hard fighting Slot Redfish.

Back in Jackstaff we switched to jigs for good, and still dropping crab traps. We had nibbles but nothing. Back thru Horsehead we went and down to a couple of drainages where the second one paid off.  Gordon was on the rod and this fish was ripping drag! He had to be patient but the fish saws no match for Gordon. He worked it to the boat and we netted a nice 21" Slot Red. We had dropped those crab traps at every stop but didn't get a one. But we had a couple of 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.
