Some Slick Water Fishing At Amelia Island

 | By Seamus on 8/17/2022 5:25:00 PM | Views (241)

 It's that time of year that when we launch the sun is just coming up over the horizon and boy was it pretty today! And the water was slick as a lake! I had met David Snyder and his fishing buddy Brad Baudek out at Goffinsville Park and after a short run down the Nassau River we set up at a large outflow on the last hour of an outgoing tide. The duo of anglers were tossing jigs and live shrimp and just as a I thought, Peck-Peck-Peck, the baitstealers were getting us one after the other. But they persevered as we worked an exposed shell bank and had a "double" hookup. Brad brought to the boat a keeper sized Flounder while David landed a feisty Redfish.

We moved up the bank, fished another stretch, dueled with a couple of Ladyfish and moved on. But not before putting out a minnow trap and cast netting a good couple of dozen finger Mullet.  After running thru Horsehead we fished the entry to Jackstaff and right off David caught another Redfish then Brad put another keeper sized Flounder in the net. I was beginning to wonder if I had a "Redfish" guy and a "Flounder" guy!  

Our next stop, after running back thru Horsehead, was down at Broward Island, fishing the first of an incoming tide. The first cast produced another feisty Redfish, but that was it. We moved down the island and picked up another Redfish, fishing the jigs deep.

The final spot was up at Pumpkin Hill, drifting floats over a shell bottom. Brad hooked up when his float disappeared and landed a Redfish while David went up to a corner and caught a hungry Seatrout.  We had some nice weather (you can feel the Fall coming early in the morning) and had some good action here and there so as we headed back we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
