Flounder and Mangroves Go Together!

I was back to work today, fishing with Suzanna Braun and her son Michael after meeting them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning. The wind was so still the sand gnats were back so we hurriedly left the dock and headed up the intercoastal to make our first stop at the mouth of Jackstaff where we deployed jigs and live shrimp to the exposed shell bank. There was plenty of bait moving along the edges and both anglers were getting excellent casts and it was Suzanna who "knocked the skunk off" with a strange hookup. She eased it to the net and landed a nice keeper sized 17" Flounder.  She picked uip one more undersized Flounder then it was Michaels turn - he had made a good cast and the minute it hit bottom, BAM! He had a bite. Michael worked it patiently to the boat and landed another keeper sized Flounder.

We then ran thru Horsehead and around to Spanish Drop to a large marsh runout and boy was there a ton of bait! But maybe too much! We eased along the bank, pitching our baits up to the

shell and slowly working them back. Both anglers caught a feisty Redfish or two along that stretch. We dropped back and cast net for some finger mullet, then moved on up to the next drainage. The duo tangled with Ladyfish, Michael picked up another small Flounder and a Jack Crevalle, then we decided to try our hand with the Mangroves. 

After switching to float rigs and getting their  baits up near the rocks it wasn't long before we had action. Suzanna was in the groove and caught some nice fish, the biggest coming in at 13". Michael was playing cat and mouse with the small ones but he hung in there and finally got one of keeper size. We blew thru the rest of our bait, but added a good handful of the 11-13" Snapper to the box, then headed back to the ramp, counting it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
