First Shark of the Year

I fished this morning with Keith McFadden and his friend Tammy, meeting them down at the Big Talbot Island Park boat ramp early this  morning.  There was a little bit more breeze than I expected but it did keep the gnats (no-see-ums) off of us when we made our first stop up Jackstaff.  The duo were tossing live shrimp  under floats and had a few nibbles then Keith landed a keeper sized Whiting.  But when Tammy's float began to bob we thought it'd be another Whiting or maybe a Trout.  But it finally went under and when she tightened down on her line we realized it was a BIG fish!  FISH ON!  She fought the fish around the boat, from starboard to port and back again.  I was thinking Redfish but it never boiled up and stayed deep.  Tammy worked the fish patiently and after a good battle we saw that it was 3 1/2' Bonnethead Shark.  After landing the beast and getting pictures we tossed it back to be caught another day.  We fished Jackstaff Bank where Keith landed not one, but two keeper sized Flounder and a Seatrout.  We made a run around to Nassau River to fish the Twin Creeks but had no real bites then we ran up to Broward Island.  Boy, the wind had picked up out of the South and with the current running even harder it made the fishing tough.  But these anglers were game and managed to pull two Redfish and a Sheepshead out of the logs, rounding out their Amelia Island Back Country Grand Slam of Flounder, Seatrout, Redfish and Sheepshead. But they weren't done!  We made one last stop at some docks at Seymore's Pointe and Keith added to the pot by hooking up and landing a feisty Black Drum.  I guess that made it a "Super Grand Slam"!  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
