 I wrapped my week up fishing with the Verner boys, Patrick and his sons Bryan and Patrick and grandson
James. We met early down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and then made a long run up the intracoastal, all the way up to Poteat Point where we set up to fish float rigs on a tide that had only been going out for about an hour. Using live shrimp as bait, the anglers drifted the marsh grass with the current and right off, the younger Patrick had a hook up off the stern - he played it perfectly and soon landed a nice hungry Seatrout. Bryan was on the bow and found a hard fighting Jack Crevalle that he worked to the boat, then he battled an even bigger one - we thought it might be a Redfish, but boy what a fight! Patrick SR fought a high flying Ladyfish to the boat then they teamed up to land a couple of Bluefish. Young James was "coaching them up" up well thought out suggestions.

After fishing across the river for a bit, to no avail, we ran thru Horsehead and then up the Nassau River to a point at Back River and sticking with the floats, we had good drifts, but no takers. Back down the river we came to Twin Creeks and they all switched to jigs. We fished that drainage then eased down to another drainage and here Patrick SR hooked up and landed a keeper sized Flounder. He put another Flounder in the boat, then a Jack Crevalle. After fishing Spanish Drop for a bit, we made the run up to Seymore's Pointe and fished some dock pilings with the jigs. Again, it was Patrick Sr, teaching lessons, who hooked up and landed a nice 17" keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum. We fished along those docks and added a Pinfish, a Croaker and a Toad fish to the catch variety. James helped his dad work a couple of those fish in.  Our final stop was around at Nassauville fishing some rocks - we fished floats and jigs, had plenty of bites but no takers, then we headed back to the ramp, counting it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
