Down To The Wire

 Boy what a blow we had yesterday with steady winds up in the 20's and gusts even higher -glad I wasn't fishing! But sure enough, the wind died thru out the night and we had a glorious morning greet us when I met Mark and Jen Woodard and their daughter Lilli down at the Sawpit Creek Boat ramp. We made a long run up the intercoastal and dipped in to Jackstaff and then into a smaller creek and set up at a drainage on the first of an outgoing tide to pitch float rigs with live shrimp. Right off Lilli had a bite but it wasn't a taker then shortly after that Jen yelled, Fish On!  She played it expertly to the boat and landed a nice keeper sized Seatrout.



We then moved over to Poteat Cut and fished an edge and within minutes it was Lilli's turn to battle a fish. She fought it valiantly and soon brought to the net a 20" Slot Redfish. Two in the box! We fished back at the mouth of Jackstaff, bumped across and fished jigs on a point, then made a run thru Horsehead and over to Back River to fish a bank with the tide running by, but to no avail.




Back to Nassauville we went and here Mark got hot, putting a couple ofkeeper Mangrove Snapper in the boat. He also landed a Croaker that we could have kept, but we tossed it back. Around to Seymore's Pointe we went to fish some more dock pilings. The "competition" heated up! Jen and Mark were neck and neck with their fish count, catching Mangrove's and small Seabass and they raced to the finish line matching each other fish for fish. It went down to the wire but I think Mark edged Jen by one fish! As we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
