Jim Sutton's fishing report

Top catches: Joey, Brandon and Aaron fished with captain Scott Tait last week, working the creeks north of the St. Johns River. They caught eight redfish to 24 inches, four seatrout to 16 inches and six flounder to 20 inches using mud minnows and finger mullet under float rigs and on jigs. ... Captain Tony Bozzella guided Will Felner to a mixed bag of redfish, trout, bluefish, ladyfish and jacks, plugging the Mill Cove area of the river. ... Captain Jim Oliver fished with Sam, Max and Sue Pearl on the tip of the jetties at Mayport, taking home 112 whiting and catching several undersized yellowmouth trout and sea bass... Captain Ronnie Worsham and Circuit Judge Jeff Morrow were pulling pogies for kingfish just north of the Mayport Inlet when big tarpon jumped on the bait. The fish pulled off near the boat after a half hour, but not before they saw what both estimated to be a 200-pound plus fish. "It looked like a manatee in the water," Morrow said.
