Pre-Back To School

 I had fishing with me today a trio of students, trying to get in one more vacation before they start hitting the books! I met Cooper Sims and his friends Nathan and Adam down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and we made the short run up the Nassau River with plans to work the run outs and oyster beds with live shrimp. We started with float rigs and first cast picked up a Ladyfish but after that we had a lull. Then Cooper hooked up and reeled in a feisty Redfish and that got things going. 

Adam put a couple of Flounder in the boat, one of which was of keeper size. Nathan added a couple of feisty Redfish to the catch then Nathan hauled in hungry Seatrout. Then it was Shark Time! Cooper had a strong bite and when the fish took off like a freight train, we knew it was a shark. Cooper was patient and worked it patiently, letting it run when it wanted to, then working it back in. I missed the first grab of the dorsal but Cooper kept that pressure on and gave me another chance! Eventually I was able to haul it in for pictures and release.  We also boated three Stingray's along that stretch.

Our next stop was up at Seymore's and here all three anglers tangled with some Mangrove Snapper, with each adding to the box for a seafood dinner tonight! We were tossing float rigs and shrimp there and ended up putting 8 in the box.  We moved down the way and switched back to jigs, tossed up to the bank, and caught another handful of smaller Snapper and a small Seatrout. 





The last stop was down at Broward Island, fishing the jigs. We picked up a

couple of Croaker, a small Sheepshead, a couple of small Reds, then Nathan had a big bite and, Fish On! Nathan played it expertly and brought to the net a 19.5" Slot Redfish, and boy what a golden, copper colored fish it was! We had put a bunch of fish in the boat, it was a beautiful day and as we headed in we counted it as another great day to be out on the water fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
