Today I had the pleasure of fishing with friends and neighbors Mark and Nilda Laurint along with their son Brent, home from college for a brief visit.  For a change, we met out at the Goffinsville Park at 7:00am this morning and then headed over to the Horsehead area to fish Jackstaff as the tide was going out and the oysters beginning to show.  I eased The Anglers Mark along the marsh grass as the anglers tossed jigs tipped with mud minnows to the shoreline.  We had a few hookups of Jack Crevalle, feisty Redfish, and a nice sized Stingray.  Our next stop was around at Nassau River and again we had a couple of hookups with feisty Redfish.  The Bonnethead Shark were cruising the shallows at every stop.  As the tide got lower we moved to a nice creek outflow and the bite began to pick up as the morning went on .  Nilda reeled in a large Catfish and Mark and Brent picked up a good handful of hungry Snapper.  Finally, Marks rod bent over and the drag began to sing, FISH ON!  And a big fish it was.  He fought the fish from starboard to port and from bow to stern.  After a long and patient battle, Mark landed a BIG 29" oversized Redfish!  What a fish!  Not too long later it was Brent's turn to battle a big Red.  His drag was ripping but Brent kept the pressure on.  This fish wanted to stay at the bow of the boat and Brent had to dip his rod a couple of times to avoid the trolling motor. But he played the fish patiently and we soon netted a "Tournament Red" - a 26 1/4" Redfish!  We fished the area while longer, fished Broward Island briefly, then headed in ,counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!  Later, we had a great meal at Shuckers Oyster Bar to top off a perfect day!
