Slammed It at the End

 I fished with Jim Leshinski this morning, meeting him up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early and just as the tide had started in, we headed out of Egans Creek and made our way up to the Jolley River to escape the crowds. After running a ways up the Jolley we made our first stop at the MOA began to pitch jigs and live shrimp to the exposed oyster bars. We worked around them back to front, then back and there Jim had a strong thump - he set the hook and landed a nice Seatrout. He went back to the same location and within minutes he had another strong thump and this one put up a good fight. Jim worked it patiently to the boat and landed a nice 18" Seatrout. We fished across the bend at JC's spot, then ran back down the river and fished the "bank" with the jigs. Jim had a huge battle with a 20lb Bonnethead on that light outfit, and boated it for pictures and release -all fish caught today were released.

We came back to Snook Creek and fished that with float rigs and picked up a small Flounder then we
moved back down to Tyger Cut where we had some good action. Jim hooked and landed another couple of Trout, then went long to pick up a big 19"+ oversized Trout, then battled another 4' Bonnethead to the boat. Our final stop was around on the outside of Tyger where we worked along the flooded bank - Jim picked up two more Flounder, one of which was of keeper size, then he had a strong take and got some drag ripping before he landed an "almost legal" Redfish to round out his Amelia Island Back Country Slam. We had beautiful weather for the first three day of this week, had put some fish in the boat today, and so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
