Working Up a Grande Slam

 | By Seamus on 4/11/2025 7:10:00 PM | Views (26)

 I wrapped my week up fishing with Rick Payne and his fishing buddy Pedro, meeting them up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp early this morning. We eased out of Eagans Creek and made our way up and around to the Jolley River where we turned into the current along the "bank" and worked back tossing float rigs and live shrimp on the last of an incoming tide. Not much action along there, we may have had a bite or two. 


We then moved down to Tyger cut and fished the point, drifting with a current that was almost at a standstill, and again, not much happening. Further up the river, just past Snook Creek, we worked the bank as the tide came to a standstill. Pedro was on the stern and fishing long and it paid off when he hooked up and landed a nice keeper sized Seatrout to "knock the skunk off".

After coming back to the outside of Tyger we set up and fished the first of an outgoing tide. I was expecting big things but was soundly disappointed. But as we eased around the corner of some grass, Rick had made a good cast up alongside it and when his float slowly went under, he tightened up and let the circle hook set. This fish was pulling deep and not running much and sure enough, when Rick brought it to the net he had a nice Flounder. They also picked up one Bluefish here that was busting bait.


We then ran thru Tyger, over to the Bell, then down the intercoastal were we set up alongside some rocks.The duo caught a handful of Seatrout (one of which was of keeper size) and Pedro hooked up and battled a feisty Redfish to the boat to round out their Amelia Island Back Country Slam of Seatrout, Flounder and Redfish. After hitting one more dock up behind Piney Island Pedro topped off a "Grande" Slam when he reeled in a keeper sized Sheepshead. We had started slow but had some good action later so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
