The Heat Is On

My advice - get out early!  Boy has it been hot the last few weeks. It's not so bad from daylight until about 9:30am but then it gets hot. And it seems were catching most of our fish in those first few hours. Today I met Darrell Holcomb and his fishing partner Jim up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. The tide had just started out so we made our way over to the outside of Tyger and drifted float rigs with mud minnow. There was tons of bait all around us and fish "popping" and rolling and finally the duo had a "double" hookup. Jim was fishing off the stern and battled a hard fighting Bluefish to the net and Darrell, fishing off the starboard side, hooked up and landed a Jack Crevalle. 

We crossed over the creek where Darrell had a big bite - it was ripping drag and heading up current, then across the bow and back again and....Fish Off! Ouch. It was a big one!  But Darrell was not to be deterred and after we switched  to jigs and fished the bottom he had an good bite, set the hook, and brought to the net a keeper sized Flounder (all fish caught today were released)

After  moving around to the outside of Tyger we worked the bank there and this paid off with another couple of Flounder catches - Jim reeled in one that was another keeper size. We fished up the Jolley at three more spots - they both caught and landed a feisty Redfish then Jim rounded out an Amelia Island Back Country Slam when he hooked and landed a keeper sized Seatrout. And boy was it hot! We headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
