Big Trout and Tourney Red

 This morning I launched at Old Town Bait and Tackle and after a Bait Shop sausage and egg sandwich, made the run over to Oyster Bay to pick up David Vice, Robert Stettner and their fishing buddy Greg. We came back around Tyger and as we were heading up to the Jolley, we made a stop on the outside of Tyger, turned into the incoming current and began pitching jigs and live shrimp and minnows. In Davids first cast or two he had a hookup and landed feisty Flounder.  We worked along that edge for a few hundred yards - the trio landed a couple of keeper sized Flounder, a couple of small Trout, a small Red, and then they battled some 4' Shark to the boat for photograph and release.

We then bounced around to the Jolley River and worked the "bank" and here, Robert, fishing off the stern and letting his float drift, picked up a nice 16" keeper Seatrout. We had a couple of more smaller Trout and a smaller Redfish. We moved on up the river to Tyger Cut and fished the point. Greg had a strong bite that ripped his drag - he fought it expertly, but this fish knew the ropes - it ran up to the shallow bank and cut itself off, boy what a fish1 We continued up to Snook Creek, worked that grass line and after David had made a good cast up to the grass line, BAM! If I was betting, I would have lost! The fish pulled some drag a few times and I was thinking "Redfish" but as David worked it to the net we saw it was a big Seatrout. David landed it and we measured it to just over 20"!  

We worked that bank pretty good until the tide came to a standstill then we ran back to Tyger Island and set up at a drainage. All three anglers were getting bites - Seatrout, a small Red or two, some Jacks, then David, fishing off the bow, went forward alongside some submerged oysters and when his float disappeared and he tightened up to let that circle hook set, it was Fish On! This fish was ripping drag and digging deep and making runs. We felt sure it was a big Redfish - David played it patiently and worked it in to land a big "Tournament sized" Redfish that measured right at 26.75", boy what a fish! We had caught a good bunch of fish throughout the day, had a good mess 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.
