Beating The Wind

Although it was forecasted to be a beautiful clear, cool and sunny day, the wind was expected to be already at 13mph when we launched and getting up to 17 as the morning wore on. But I counted 6 fishing guides at the bait store this morning, and I was one of them! I then met Bob Blalock out at the Goffinsville Park boat ramp and we made a quick run over to Broward Island thinking we might could beat the wind before it really picked up and fish a first of an incoming tide. 

Bob was tossing jigs and live shrimp, under the Bald Eagles, but we had not takers. We moved down a bit, fished for a good while, and finally Bob had a good bite and, fish on! He played it perfectly and brought to the net a nice 18" Seatrout. We moved down a ways more and again Bob had a good bump, set the hook, and landed an even bigger Seatrout, one right at 18". 

Sure enough, the wind had picked up so we came back to Nassauville rocks and fished between two docks and had some good action in calm and pleasant waters! Bob landed a Seatrout and we picked up a keeper sized Mangrove Snapper (the first of the year). It was so calm in behind the Nassauville land mass we decided to stay in the area and fish the docks. But although we had good conditions, we had no real bitres. Before we left,  though we went back to our original spot and had even better action. Bob was diligent and caught a small Flounder, then another keeper sized Mangrove, then a bigger, keeper sized Flounder. Although we were handicapped by the wind we had a nice box of fish!

We fished Pumpkin Hill for a bit but the wind was pushing the water, then fished Christopher Creek for a minute or two, then called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
