Feisty Reds and a Bunch of 'Em

Boy you can feel that fall weather in the air! It wasn't quite "nippy" this morning but it definitely was a bit cooler which made for a fine fishing day here at Amelia Island. I had met Alex and Kelly Mckinney and their son-in-law Kyle up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp as the sun came up and we headed out of Eagans Creek thinking we'd make our first stop over in Lanceford Creek fishing some docks. We fished it good - all three anglers were getting good casts up under the pilings but all we managed was a measly Catfish. 



We came out of there and made a long run back to the Bell River, up it all the way to the docks, and fished that outgoing current with jigs and live shrimp and here Alex hooked up with a couple of hungry Seatrout. Continuing on around into the Jolley, we made a stop at JC's Spot and worked the oysters which were now exposed. Alex stayed hot and hooked up with a couple of feisty Redfish, then he hauled in a rather large Whiting. Both Kyle and Kelly brought to the boat a couple of Croaker that we could have kept but we tossed them back.



After moving over to the MOA, things got busy! Almost immediately we began to get hookups. Kyle found a "honey hole" between the two shell mounds and expertly landed three Black "puppy" Drum, two of which were of keeper sized. All three caught a handful of those feisty Redfish, not quite big enough to keep but fun to catch. At one time Kelly and Kyle had a "double" hookup with both landing Redfish. Kyly hooked up and landed his first ever Flounder. The trio had an Amelia Island Grande Slam of Redfish, Seatrout, Black Drum and Flounder. 


Our final stop was over behind Tyger Island, fishing the logs, where they wrapped up catching two more feisty Redfish and Kyle "threaded a needle" between two logs to catch a wayward Seabass. It had been a beautiful day, we had some good action and 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.
