 I fished yesterday with the Frost's - Steve and Carron, meeting them down at the Sawpit Creek boat rampearly, and good for that - the day turned out very still and hot! We ran up the Nassau and made our first stop at Twin Creeks to fish float rigs and live shrimp and mud minnows on a tide that had been coming in a few hours. We worked that spot and hit a few more along the Nassau and it was Steve that had the hot hand early - he caught a couple of Trout, a small flounder, and then battled a nice Slot sized Redfish to the boat. 



We fished down at Pumpkin Hill and both anglers were getting good drifts  - we couldn't believe that they weren't getting bites but it seemed the fish had taken a siesta as the tide peaked. .We dropped back to Seymore's Pointe - Carron fishing the jigs while Steve and I tossed floats to the rocks, but again, no real bites.





After running thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Point we worked a grassy bank as the tide started out. This time it was Carron who had the big bites. She first hooked up and battled to the boat a big 20.75" Seatrout - big enough to move her into 2nd place in the Anglers Mark 2025 Bragging Rights Tournament-Seatrout Category (scroll down the right side of this report for standings). Boy what a Trout! Then as we worked forward she had a big bite on red hook baited with a mud minnow and the drag was ripping, Big Fish On!  Carron took the fish across the bow, down the port side and around the stern a couple of times. She worked it in, let it run, worked it in, and eventually brought to the net an Oversized 29" Redfish!  Shortly after that Steve battled a big fish, too. We were thinking another Redfish but then it made those tale-tale signs of digging deep and holding the bottom and sure enough, it was a Bonnethead Shark. We had some good catches, and great weather, albeit a bit hot, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
