Neck and Neck

I fished today with Don Bickel and  his brother-in-law Doc, meeting them out at the Goffinsville Park boat ramp. The tide was still coming in for  just a few minutes so we made a quick run over to Pumpkin Hill, "anchored" and began to drift float rigs with live shrimp. My "demo" cast produced a bite that I wasn't ready for but subsequent drifts produced some action. Each angler caught 2 fish - Jacks and Ladyfish and Seatrout They continued for a while to "tally" their catch and they stayed neck and neck the whole day.

We came back to Seymore's Pointe as the tide started out and fished a large drainage with the floats and even though they had a few nibbles, there were no takers. We ran thru Horsehead and around to Jackstaff and fished another drainage and here we had zero nibbles! But these anglers were not to be deterred! After a quick jump over to Poteat Cut we had just set up to fish a pointe and they caught fish. Doc put a keeper sized Seatrout in the boat and followed it up with a Jack Crevalle catch. Then Don had a strong hookup that was tugging hard and ripping some drag. When it "boiled up" I declared it a Redfish but after Don patiently played it to the boat he landed a Big 19" Seatrout, boy what a fish!

After running back thru Horsehead we fished Twin Creeks for a bit and here Doc put another Jack in the boat. We worked the bank forward for about 20 yards and Don had another big bite. He fought it to the net and landed a Slot Sized Redfish (all fish caught today were released). And shortly after that he landed another Jack(we guestimated we had about 6 today)

Our final stop was back at some docks at Nassauville where we added to the catch one more Seatrout. As we headed back to the dock we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
