Getting A Fish Here and There

 | By Seamus on 8/25/2017 6:31:11 PM | Views (796)

We have surely been blessed with some beautiful mornings lately! And today was one of them. I met Steve Schaetzel, his son Tim and his future son-in-law Rob down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and as we headed up the intercoastal there were dolphin rolling up as the sun came up. We made it up to Jackstaff, ran up a ways and then turned into the current to fish an incoming tide with jigs and mud minnows. As we worked the bank Tim "knocked the skunk off" when he landed a feisty Redfish. He followed that up
with a hard fighting Jack Crevalle, then Rob put another Red in the boat. They all three tangled with high flying Ladyfish before we pulled and made the run through Horsehead and around to the Nassau River.

Tide was up and the marsh grass was beginning to flood so we switched to float rigs and made our casts up near the grass, letting them drift naturally along the shoreline. After a bite here and there, Steve's float disappeared and, FISH ON! This was a bigger fish - one that ripped some drag and after putting up a good fight up near shore it headed deep and took Steve from bow to stern, port to starboard. He kept the pressure on and played it patiently. After  good battle, Steve landed a nice (and bigger) Jack Crevalle.

We made a stop at Seymore's Pointe and played cat and mouse with some small Mangrove Snapper then ran down to Pumpkin Hill and again, more small Mangrove Snapper. Our last stop was over at Christopher Creek where we worked some docks with the jigs again. After Rob and Tim put a couple of Snapper in the boat, Steve finished up with another feisty Redfish. And with that, we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida. Read More
