Two Swimming Deer Two Bald Eagles Four Trout

 What a beautiful morning it was when I met Doug Mackle and his granddaughter Montana up at the Old
Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. Clear skies, just a slight bit cool, and the sun coming up over the State Park. We eased out of Eagans Creek and as we did so Montana spotted to doe deer swimming across the creek, heading from the Pogey Plant over to Old Town. Cool!

We made our first run over to behind Tyger Island and fished the logs on a tide that had been coming in for a couple of hours. We must have been late because we didn't have what we could have called a real nibble. We then came out and headed up to the Jolley River where I turned into the current along the "bank". We worked along it good with float rigs and live shrimp. Finally, the "skunk was off" when Montana hooked up and battled to the boat a hard fighting Jack Crevalle. 

On up the Jolley we made a stop at Tyger Cut and drifted the float rigs again. We had a couple of bites then hooked up and landed a nice keeper sized Seatrout. Further up the Jolley, at Snook Creek, we eased along that bank and here Doug had a good fight with a feisty Redfish. While fishing, we spotted two beautiful Bald Eagles working the marsh, and roosting on an old root system.

Around at the Bell River we switched to jigs and this paid off with two more Trout catches, both of which were of keeper size. The biggest was right at 18" long. We fished back at Lanceford Creek and added the 4th keeper Trout to the cooler, then we finished up fishing up Soap Creek to wrap things up. We had seen deer and Bald Eagles and had a few fish in the box so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
