Building A Bag

The weather cleared up for today, although it was a bit "crisp" when I met William and Dara Blalock and their friend Brian out at Goffinsville Park this morning. We had a tide that still had a few hours of going out so we made our first stop just down the river at some docks to fish a small creek with jigs and live shrimp and minnows. There wasn't much action there but William did haul in a Flounder to "knock the skunk off". We then motored over to Back River and fished a stretch of shell beds and picked up a couple of small Trout there.

Back down the Nassau we came, down to the Spanish Drop area to fish a large drainage and here things picked up a bit. Dara was on the stern fishing the back side of the drain (like the guy yesterday) and she put two keeper sized Seatrout in the boat. The trio added another couple of Flounder to the catch (released) and then William and Brian teamed up to get some Trout. Our next stop was way up the Nassau fishing a small Creek where William and Brian both put a feisty Redfish each in the boat.

We came back to Broward Island as the tide began to come to a standstill - Brian stayed hot, catching another couple of Reds, one of which was keepable. We worked down the island and pulled up to a stump where William went in with an excellent cast and BAM! Fish on, and this one pulling some drag. He worked it in patiently and soon landed a nice Slot Redfish. After the team put one more keeper Trout in the boat we headed back to the ramp with a bag of fish, counting it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida
