Monster Bait Monster Fish

When Lisa up at the Amelia Island Bait and Tackle shop this morning mentioned the mud minnows "may be big" she wasn't kidding! They were monsters! After getting bait I met Bob Blalock out at the Goffinsville Park early. The tide was perfect, the first of the incoming, so we headed south up the Nassau and fished Broward Island with those mud minnows on jigs. Big Mistake. We fished a couple of areas and I don't think we had a single bite.

We stopped by Back River and fished some exposed oysters then continued on down to Spanish Drop and began to work the already flooded bank. Bob had a couple of "bumps" then we had a strong hookup. Bob played it perfectly and soon landed a nice 21" Slot Redfish. We worked up that bank and then switched to float rigs. Bob was getting a good drift when his float disappeared and after catching up his line and letting the circle hook do its thing, Fish On!


Bob played it patiently and during the battle he commented that he was getting some head shakes and sure enough when it came to the surface we saw it was a massive Seatrout! Once netted we measured it right at 24", big enough to move Bob into 2nd place in the Anglers Mark 2022 Bragging Rights Tournament-Seatrout Category. (scroll down the right side of this report for standings) Boy what a fish!

We fished Twin Creeks, and beyond, picked up a small Flounder, then ran thru Horsehead to try our luck over there, but to no avail. Then back to Pumpkin Hill where Bob picked up a hard fighting Jack Crevalle,  a Ladyfish, and a fat Seatrout. We wrapped the day up "exploring" then we headed back and counted it another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida. 

All fish caught today were released.
