Drum Roll

 I was out at Goffinsville Park this morning where I met Mark Dennis and his brother David early for abeautiful day of fishing the back waters of Amelia Island. We were not far from some docks so we eased over to them and set up current with plans to fish jigs and live shrimp to the pilings as the tide swept our bait up under the docks. It was only minutes when Mark hooked up, battled the fish, and landed a keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum.  From then on we were catching fish.

I tried my hand at "guessing the species" as the duo caught fish - David had a strong hookup - it didn't really run, but stayed on the bottom so I called "flounder". Nope, it was a big Jack Crevalle. Then David had another bite, Big Fish On! This one ripped some drag and tried to get back under the dock so I called "Redfish". Nope, Big Black Drum.  Then Mark got in on the action again with another hookup.  I called "Black Drum" but after successfully playing the fish to the net he landed the first Slot Redfish of the day. I had struck out!  We ended up catching 5 nice Black Drum, the Slot Red, the Jack, and a


handful of smaller Drum.

Our next stop was down at Broward Island. Here, David put a hungry Trout in the boat but it was nothing like yesterday. We moved down a bit, fished some logs, and after Mark had made an excellent cast to the downside of the current, BAM! He had a hookup. Mark worked it patiently to the boat and landed his 2nd Slot Redfish. We moved back to our original spot, fished the bottom with jigs, and David added a keeper Trout to the catch. Somewhere along there Mark added a Trout to round out his Amelia Island Back Country Slam.

We fished back at Nassauville at a couple of places, switching to float rigs at the last spot where we had a couple of bites but no takers, then wrapped the day up down at Spanish Drop. The sun was up and the temperature had warmed but we had a live well full of fish so we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
