Solid Slam

You'd think it was almost summer! When I launched at Goffinsville Park this morning the water was still and the sun was out and we soon found out that "summertime" fish were here! I met Jason Wells and his teenaged son Jackson early and we made the short run around to some docks at Seymore's Pointe to fish the very first of an incoming tide. Although I was lookin for Redfish or Drum, we(Jason)  found a couple of Mangrove Snapper instead!

We then ran down the Nassau to Spanish Drop and worked that bank - the shell were still barely showing, but had not luck until Jason hooked up and landed a couple of high flying Ladyfish. Jackson tangled with a Shark that eventually found its way around a crab float and broke off. 

After easing back to Twin Creeks, we switched to float rigs. Jason was on the
stern, drifting long and Jackson was on the bow, drifting across the mouths and BAM!, Jackson's float disappeared - he tightened up his line and let the circle hook set and, Fish On! Jackson played it perfectly and after a good battle landed a nice 21" Slot Redfish.  Jason fought and landed a hard fighting Jack Crevalle shortly afterwards, and a Bonnethead Shark.

We then fished back at Nassauville, between a couple of docks. I was expecting Mangrove Snapper for sure, but Jackson hooked up and landed a keeper sized Seatrout.  Minutes later, Jason had made a cast up close to shore and within seconds he was "snagged" on something loose on the bottom. He began to work it slowly to the boat then we saw that the "snag" was shaking it's head and pulling back! Fish On! Jason brought it patiently to the boat and landed a keeper sized 17" Flounder!

Our next and final stop was down at Pumpkin Hill, drifting some flooded shell. The first stretch we had no real bites but we moved around the corner. Jason battle a big Bonnethead to the boat and added a keeper sized Seatrout. We also caught a small Catfish to add to the variety of the catch. With a solid Amelia Island Back Country Slam of Redfish, Seatrout, and Flounder in the box, we headed back and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
