Nine Fish Variety

Another beautiful day, a smorgasbord of different back water fish caught: Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Black
Drum, Toad Fish, Sea Bass, Ladyfish, Shark, Flounder, and Seatrout. I had met Steve Locke and his fishing buddies Jason and Scott out at Goffinsville Park boat ramp early this morning and we made a quick run down the Nassau to Spanish Drop and fished some exposed oysters right at the last of an outgoing tide. Justin got hot early and put a couple of feisty Redfish in the boat and a couple of Jacks were landed.

We stopped at a dock at Seymore's Pointe and fished the pilings as the tide was starting in and here Scott got found his groove and landed a fat Sea Bass and a small Toad Fish. After running thru Horsehead and fishing the "bank" at Jackstaff things were kinda slow until the GPK upped the competition with Scott landing a Ladyfish to take the prize- then the trio got into some Redfish. Steve expertly battled a Slot Redfish to the net. We fished over at Poteat Pointe, to no avail, then made the run back thru Horsehead and down to Broward Island. We worked the bank slowly and Jason, after feeling that tale-tale "thump", set the hook and caught the only Flounder of the Day. Steve caught a small Bonnethead Shark off the stern then picked up his 2nd Slot Redfish.

We finished the day up at Pumpkin Hill with a couple of Seatrout catches, both caught on a float with live shrimp. We had a fairly busy day catching a variety of fish and with a couple of Slot Reds in the box, we headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
