First Biggest and Most

Boy did the weather folks get today wrong! I looked at the forecast last night AND this morning and therewas only a slight chance of rain forecasted. NOT! I met Tim Carson, his daughter Monica and his grandson Mathew out at the Goffinsville Park boat ramp this morning and there were some serious clowds around us and we could see rain storms off in the distance. But this trio of anglers were here to fish so we jumped down the Broward Island to take advantage of a first of an incoming tide.

We were pitching jigs and live shrimp to the bank and in only minutes Mathew had a good bite. He set the hook expertly and reeled in the first fish of the day, a hungry Seatrout. Then Grandpa Tim got in the action. He boated two, hard fighting, keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum. We then moved down the way, fished under a Bald Eagle, and here Monica got on the board with a feisty Redfish catch. Mathew went to the same spot and he too caught a feisty Redfish. Tim landed a Stingray that we hoped would be a Flounder and also put an ugly Toad fish in the boat. 


Our next stop was back at some docks at Seymore's Pointe. Although we didn't get any big fish, Tim and Mathew both put a Croaker in the boat.  We moved down to Spanish Drop and fished a higher tide with float rigs and shrimp. Monica had managed her float to the mouth of a small creek and when it disappeared she was ready to strike and lifted her rod to set the circle hook and Big Fish On! Monica played it perfectly and after a long battle landed a big 4' Bonnethead Shark.

After running back to Pumpkin Hill we set up again to fish the floats. I think


it was Mathew's first drift when his float disappeared and he set the hook. Mathew expertly worked it to the boat and landed a nice 18.5" Seatrout, giving him the Most Seatrout caught for the day, and the Biggest Seatrout caught for the day. We had a few more bites. picked up one more feisty Red, then called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
