Drag Ripping Redfish

I launched again down at Sawpit Creek this morning, meeting Garland Clark and his son Chris early for a morning of back country fishing. I'm still breaking in the new engine but we were able to cruise up the intercoastal and then in to the Nassau, moving thru different levels of RPM's, to get to the first spot at Spanish Drop. The tide was already high and still coming in so the anglers went with float rigs and live shrimp. We worked one flooded shell bank but didn't get much until we got to a drainage, switched to jigs and baited with some mud minnows I caught at the ramp. That did the trick - Chris hooked up and landed a hungry Seatrout. After we moved down the way, Garland had a hookup on the jig and had a Trout on.

We ran down to Pumpkin Hill and drifted floats long - Chris caught a Catfish, but then, after baiting up with another mud minnow and making a perfect cast to the grass line, his float disappeared. Chris tightened up and set the hook and, Fish On!  This fish made a couple of runs, all the time ripping drag, but Chris expertly brought it to the boat, and rather quickly and I was thinking, "Nope". Surely it had some more juice and sure enough, off it went again, ripping drag. But Chris played it patiently and eventually landed a nice 23" Slot sized Redfish. We added another Seatrout to the catch before we moved  on. 

After fishing Broward Island briefly we came back to some docks at Nassauville, switched back to the jigs and got in to some rather large (for the back water) Mangrove Snapper. Although these anglers released all fish today, they could have easily kept their limit of the Mangroves. Again, we added another Seatrout before we moved on. 

After fishing Seymore's Pointe for a bit we ran thru Horsehead and fished a large drainage. The sun was up and it was getting "toasty" and after Chris put a large Catfish in the boat we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida
