High Tides and Rising Winds

Back to fishing!  After being out of town for a week I was back fishing today with newlyweds Jeff and Elizabeth Parr. After meeting them early up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early we made our way out of Eagans Creek and over to the outside of Tyger to fish the first of an outgoing tide. It was High tide right when we started and boy was that water up in the grass. The duo were tossing float rigs with live shrimp and had a few bites before Jeff hooked up and landed a hungry Seatrout. 

We made our way over to Lanceford Creek and fished some flooded marsh grass (here the tide hadn't started out yet). We fished a couple of areas and Elizabeth did manage to catch and land a feisty Black "puppy" Drum. She had gotten a bite - it stole her bait, but she went back to the same spot with an excellent cast and BAM! She hooked it up!

After fishing Soap Creek where they caught another Trout, and with the wind picking up,  we ran down the river and fished some structure, this time fishing jigs and the shrimp, deep. Jeff had made a good cast and let his jig fall down the river bottom and when I saw him hookup and his rod bend I knew he had a nice fish. And it got nicer as the battle went on!  Jeff played it perfectly as the big fish dug deep and under the boat. He kept the pressure on and wore it out and landed a nice 21" Slot Redfish. They each picked up another Seatrout and Elizabeth brought to the net a Flounder to round out their Amelia Island Back Country Slam.

After fishing some dock pilings back up the river, to no avail, we headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
