Battling The Elements

 Boy what a rain system we had yesterday - it rained so much I had to go out and "lift" the cover on my boat to get the pools of water off of it, Three times! And again this morning! But the forecast had actually improved for today and although it misted a bit between the bait shop and Goffinsville Park, by the time I launched it was clearing. I met Charles Land and his daughter Savanah early and we made a quick run over to Pumpkin Hill and began to toss float rigs baited with mud minnows. The tide was coming in, still for another couple of hours, but I couldn't believe that it was already well flooded up in the grass. It was dead calm with zero breeze and the Sand Gnats were out in full force! We put on "armor" battled on. 

They had a couple of nibbles, but no takers so we moved up to a point and fished down the other side and that did the trick. Charles "knocked the skunk off" when he hooked up long and brought in a hungry Seatrout, then another, then Savanah got on the board and caught a high flying Ladyfish.  We fished down a ways and had a few nibbles and then moved on. 

Over at Seymore's Point Savanah's first cast produced a quick bite and Fish On! This fish was big and running - it headed up into the marsh but Savanah kept the pressure on and kept it out of the grass. It then came towards us and she had to crank, crank and crank to keep up with it, then it went deep on the other side of the boat. Savanah stayed with it, worked it up to the boat and landed a big Jack Crevalle. 

After running thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Cut we fished a bank just as the tide started out there but had no luck. Over in Jackstaff we worked along a bank. Savanah had gone right up in to some flooded grass with a cast and BAM! She had a hookup. I thought for sure it was a nice Redfish but as she brought it to the net we saw that it was a big 19.5" Seatrout! Boy what a fish!

After fishing over at Back River for just a bit we headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
