He Did a 360

It looks like we may  be getting wet every  day this week, and today was no exception!  Mitch Bair and I  had  watched the weather forecast last evening and even this morning and it was looking "decent" for a fishing trip today, so I met Mitch and his son-in-law Will down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and as we headed up the intercoastal to turn into the Nassau River, the weather was nice! We pulled up at Spanish Drop and began pitch jigs and live shrimp on the first of an incoming tide. We worked that first bank pretty good. Just as we were about to move on Mitch, fishing from the bow,  had a strong hookup and Big Fish On!  The fish raced up river taking Mitch down the port side to the stern, then it headed south taking him to Starboard, then headed east taking him back to the bow! Then it dug deep and stayed deep - a Shark for sure. Mitch kept the pressure on, played it patiently and eventually brought to the boat a nice 4' Bonnethead Shark, which we tossed back (all fish caught today were released).  And while we were dealing with the Shark, Will had quietly put a Jack Crevalle in the boat. 

We then ran down to Broward Island to catch the incoming tide there, and while cruising the island, we had a Bald Eagle sighting. We fished the island thoroughly but had no real bites, which surprised me just a bit.  After making the run back to Seymore's Pointe and fishing some dock pilings with jigs, the duo did pick up a handful of keeper sized Mangrove Snapper and a Bluefish.

Back up the Nassau we went, to Pumpkin Hill, and  now fishing float rigs, we began to see a bit of action with the tide up a bit. They caught another handful of Shark,  Will battled a nice 22" Slot Redfish to the net, Mitch hauled in a Flounder, and they also had another couple of Jack Crevalle and tangled with a Ladyfish. We had one more Slot Red right at the boat but it was not to be, which always helps to bring anglers back for another great day of fishing the back country here at Amelia Island, Florida
