Double 24's

I wrapped my week up (kinda slow week, but next week is slam full) fishing with Steve Locke, who
brought along his fishing buddy Tony. We met out at Goffinsville early and with a tide that had just hit bottom, we made a short run down to Broward Island and fished deep with jigs and mud minnows. Steve put the first fish in the boat when he hooked up and expertly played a nice keeper sized Seatrout to the net. Tony landed a small but feisty Redfish then Steve brought a small Flounder to the boat.

We then ran back down the Nassau to Spanish Drop and worked the bank - the water had covered the shell and was at the base of the marsh grass, but we stayed with the jigs for a bit. The duo picked up another keeper Seatrout and Steve battled a nice 18.25" Slot Red to the boat, but as we worked along some flooded shell the jigs became a bit aggravating so we switched to floats. I had just pointed out a nice drift to Steve but Tony was already in it and BAM! Big Fish On! Tony played it perfectly as it took him from the bow to the stern and under the boat and back out, then it dug deep. But Tony kept the pressure on and eventually landed a nice 24.5" Slot Redfish. They caught a handful of Catfish(one poked my knuckle -man those things hurt), they had a nice Jack Crevalle, and then Tony battled another 24.5" Slot Red to the boat.

After fishing Seymore's Pointe for a bit, to no avail, zero Mangroves, we made a final run back up the river to Pumpkin Hill where after a drift or two they added one more keeper sized Seatrout. Although it was a little hot, we had a breeze and we had a nice box of fish so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing hear at Amelia Island, Florida.
