April Grand Slam

The last few days we've had some good fishing conditions the first hour or so but then the wind picks up and makes it a challenge. We had the same trend today but not so much as to deter our fishing! I had met Rhett and Cam and their sons Holt and Landon down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning and we made a quick run up the intercoastal, into the Nassau and made our first stop at Spanish Drop and began working an exposed shell bed with jigs and live shrimp on the last of an outgoing tide. It didn't take long before Cam hooked up and boated a hungry Flounder. Shortly after that Rhett had gone to the shell with an excellent cast and BAM! Big Fish On! He played it patiently, fought iit out into the current, then slowly brought it to the net - a nice fat 23" Slot Size Redfish. 

We made our next stop up between some docks at Goffinsville. Cam had pitched up behind some dock pilings, had a "bump", set the hook, and, Fish On! He brought it to the boat and landed a  keeper sized 17" Seatrout.  He picked up another Trout or two out of the same spot. After moving around the point, we fished some more dock pilings. Cam put a couple of more Trout in the boat, fishing deep from the bow, Rhett pulled a feisty Redfish out from the pilings, then Landon hooked up and landed a keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum. 


Our next stop was down at Broward Island. Right off the bat, Rhett put a hungry Trout in the boat, but that was all to be had. We came back to Nassauville, fished the same docks, but this time on an incoming tide, and Landon got hot with a Flounder catch and a Seatrout Catch.

I can't say enough about how much I was impressed with the two young anglers on the boat. Both Holt and Landon were so very much respectful - from their firm handshake to start off the trip to their good attitudes and polite manners. They were both making excellent casts and making good effort the entire trip. They're going to make excellent anglers as they grow up.

We finished the trip fishing float rigs  and live shrimp over in Jackstaff but I think the fish had taken a "siesta" so we pulled up the trolling motor and headed in, counting it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
