Good Call

The wind was blowing just a tad bit more this morning than forecasted - I had planned to hit Tyger Island to fish the first of an incoming tide but that west wind made me rethink the plan. So after meeting Patrick Davis and his son Joshua up at Old Town Bait and Tackle we made the run up Eagans Creek and found a dock to fish with jigs and live shrimp.

It wasn't long before Joshua "knocked the skunk off" when he hooked  up and landed a feisty Redfish. From then on it was "game on"!  The duo were catching one Redfish after the other - after picking thru the smaller Reds Patrick hooked up and expertly battled to the boat a nice 22" Slot Red. Shortly after that Joshua had the hookup and patiently played a Slot fish of his own to the net. Out of multiple Redfish caught I counted a total of four Slot fish brought in. We could have stayed there for a while and caught fish but we moved on for a change of scenery!

Our next stop was up at Soap Creek where we switched to float rigs and the live shrimp. Joshua had his float drift over a shell pointe and BAM! Float gone!  He caught up to it, lifted his rod and the circle hook set. After a nice fight Josh brought to the net another Redfish. After moving up to a large drainage the duo found that they could drift the floats back thru a ripple and catch hungry Seatrout. After landing a handful, we moved on.

We made a long run up the Bell River and set up on the back side of a dock, now back to tossing jigs and shrimp. I think Joushua's first cast was a hookup. He could feel the "bump, bump" and set the  hook - Seatrout. After getting  a few of those we moved in closer and with casts closer to the bank, they had hookups with Redfish. 

We tried a few spots over in Jolley River, drifting floats  up by the flooding marsh grass, but had no real bites. Although it was now a bit windy (we had a bumpy ride back), the sun was out and not a cloud in the sky so we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
