Let The Winds Blow

 | By Seamus on 3/3/2023 7:40:00 PM | Views (48)

 I was a bit concerned about today with forecasted winds getting up into the 20's. But at launch time the wind was only around 7-10, so we thought we could get in some fishing when I met Frank Barbera, his son-in-law Jim, and grandson Tommy down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. I had a "plan" and stuck to it and it paid off!

We first inched around to the Sawpit Creek boat ramp, and rather than do "slip floats" (which I'm no big fan of), we tossed jigs and live shrimp, up current, bouncing the bottom to deep, and it worked! The trio of anglers caught a few feisty Redfish, hooked a massive fish, then landed a respectable Blue fish. The wind still hadn't picked up so we ran up the Nassau River and stopped at a marsh drainage and fished it with the jigs, but to no avail.

After a long run up the Nassau we blew into a small creek  and fished a 6' deep edge with the jigs and boy did we catch some fish. All three teamed up to put fish in the boat - feisty Redfish, a Seatrout, then we began to inch up on the scale and get some Slots. Tommy expertly reeled in his share of fish and did double duty running the catch net to land his dad's fish. We ended up with probably 10-15 Redfish with four of them being of keeper size. 

As we headed back, we bucked the 20mph+ winds all the way to the ramp but we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
