Flounder in Horsehead

I was fishing out of Sawpit Creek again this morning, this time meeting Hank Prolog and his fishing buddies Harry and Fred. We left the dock early and made our way up the Nassau River and made our first stop at Spanish Drop on a tide that was almost hitting bottom - the trio of anglers were pitching jigs and live shrimp to the exposed shell bank, but I don't think we had a legitimate bite. We moved on up the river and fished a large drainage and again, no bites. The tide turned so we moved further up to Seymore's Pointe and fished some dock pilings where they picked up a few Pinfish, a couple of Jacks, and Fred landed a small Black Sea Bass.

Our next stop was up at Broward Island, fishing with the Bald Eagles and here Hank hooked up and
expertly landed a feisty Redfish. We worked a few spots along the island and before we left Harry had a good hookup and he too landed a similar Redfish. We then made good run back down the Nassau, thru Horsehead and over to the mouth of Jackstaff where we worked the bank with float rigs. We had action along here - the tangled with high flying Ladyfish then Hank had his float slowly go under and he hooked it up. After a patient battle he brought to the net a keeper sized Flounder. And shortly after that Fred had the same bite - he brought it in expertly and landed another keeper sized Flounder - both fish were photographed and released. Like the last few days, we had to work for our fish, but we've had some excellent weather, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
