Fishing Lure

 Finally, back down at the south end today - I met Jeff Adams, his son Beau, and father-in-law Charlie early at Sawpit Creek and we made a long run up the intracoastal,  up the Back River and around to Pumpkin Hill where we went with float rigs and mud minnows on a  high and incoming tide. The trio stayed busy battling Ladyfish and more Ladyfish, and then a Jack Crevalle, then finally a feisty Redfish. Although they weren't what we were looking for, we did have some action.

We came back down the Nassau, ran thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Cut where we worked the grass line as the tide started out. I had high expectations for this spot but was thoroughly disappointed - we only had a nibble or two. Ouch.  We came back thru Horsehead and made our way further down the Nassau, pulling up at Twin Creeks where we switched to jigs and the minnows and this did the trick.

Jeff hooked up and hauled in a Flounder, just undersized then Charlie had a good thump, hooked it up, and landed a keeper sized Seatrout.  They caught a couple of more Flounder there then we jumped down the river to another drainage and caught good fish. Jeff expertly battled a nice Slot sized 7-spot Redfish to the boat, Beau landed the biggest fish of the day, a huge Ladyfish, then Charlie hooked up and landed another Slot Redfish. They caught another couple of Flounder and Jeff finished it off with a keeper Flounder catch. They had an Amelia Island Back Country Slam in the box so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
