There's a Reason I Don't Gamble

 I tend to lose!  I've just never been the betting type but today I gambled that we would get fish on a high
and incoming tide. It didn't happen. I had met Sean Pattwell up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp early with a tide that was high and still coming in, forecasted it hit the top around 8:15am. We eased out of Eagans Creek and I ran up to the outside of Tyger, thinking we might work a bank with jigs and get a fish or two. But we had zero bites. 

Just at high tide we moved around to Jolley Bank and fished floats with no luck and as the tide began to turn we ran back to the outside of Tyger and fished  a flooded corner of grass with the floats. I was really counting on this spot but, nope, no fish!

We then made the run down the Amelia River and fished some structure for a good 30 minutes or so with the jigs. Although Sean did  get one bite it wasn't a taker and we were looking at "skunk" just over the horizon.  But thankfully, Sean was patient - we ran back towards town, dipped into a creek, dipped into another creek and fished some dock pilings with the jigs.  We had two bites and two Slot Redfish!  Sean played them perfectly, worked to the boat, and landed a 23" Slot and a 18" Slot.  Skunk was off!

After fishing one more spot with float rigs (and no bites) we headed back. It was a beautiful morning that got prettier as the day went on - just a bit cool, no wind, and the sun was out so as we headed back we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
