Fishing Lure

We were having a hard time coming up with the Report title for today, there were so many options to choose from: 7 In The Box?  Flounder Flurry? Slammed It? Fish at Every Spot?  You'll have to pick!  I had met Lee Warren and his grandson Noah and their friend David Vice out at Goffinsville Park this morning early and with a tide that had been falling for about 4 hours, we made a quick run down the Nassau to set up at a nice drainage and began to toss jigs and minnows to the exposed bank and drainage. It wasn't long before David hooked up and expertly boated a nice keeper sized Flounder. He added a keeper sized Seatrout to the box then hooked and patiently landed a big 19.5" Flounder to squeeze in to First Place in the Anglers Mark Bragging Rights Tournament - Flounder Category (scroll down the right side of this report for standings). 

We bounced down a hundred yards to the next drainage and again picked up fish. Noah hooked and landed a keeper sized Flounder then he expertly played a feisty Redfish to the boat to make it an Amelia Island Back Country Slam of Flounder, Seatrout and Redfish. We moved another 100 yards and again we caught fish- more Flounder. Our next stop was up at Bubblegum Reef - I haven't fished it in years - David and Lee were fishing forward off the bow near the Reef but we had a float rig going out back up near the shell bed and when it went under, Noah was on the rod. He brought it in slowly, lifting it up and reeling it down until he brought to the net a nice Slot Redfish, for the box. 

We fished Seymore's Point and lost the battle to what I think were Mangrove Snapper but David did haul in a Flounder to keep the streak going, then we finished up down at Broward Island fishing the jigs. Lee got on a hot streak, boating a keeper Flounder, a couple of small Flounders, and a hungry Seatrout. We had 5 Flounder in the box, a nice Seatrout and a Slot Redfish so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
