Chicago Boys Wrap The Week Up

I finished up a great week of fishing yesterday fishing with an all-guys group from Chicago - Wes
Metheney, his son Jack and friends PJ and Emmitt. We met down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and run up the Nassau to make our first stop at a large drainage at Seymore's Pointe. They were getting good drifts with their float rigs on the first of an outgoing tide but we had not a single real bite.

We ran thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Point and here we did get some action with PJ "knocking the skunk off" with a Seatrout catch. We caught a few along there then crossed over and fished an attractive area with a few grassy islands at the mouth of another drainage. This paid off with some more Trout catches - Wes and Jack added to the catch, then Emmit had a strange bite, hooked it up, and landed a nice Flounder. PJ tangled with a big high flying Ladyfish which we boated and released.

After running back thru Horsehead we made our way down to Back River and fished a stretch of marsh grass with the floats then wrapped things up fishing Spanish Drop with jigs and live shrimp. Wes battled a couple of hard fighting Jack Crevalle to the net while Emmitt, fishing off the stern, landed another Trout. We had some beautiful weather, had caught some fish, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island,Florida.
