The Hot Rod

 | By Seamus on 6/16/2014 5:01:18 PM | Views (110)

Sometimes you just gotta count on the young guys to put fish in the boat.  I fished this morning with Gene Rice, his son Gene Jr, son-in-law Robby and grandson Will.  We met down at the Atlantic Seafood dock in downtown Fernandina Beach and headed up to fish the outside of Tiger Island on the first of an outgoing tide.  The anglers started off tossing live shrimp under floats and thanks to Gene Jr. we were able to "knock the skunk off" when he picked up a hungry Seatrout.   Later, Robby had a fish flash by his bait then came back to take it and began ripping the drag on his reel  He
fought the fish patiently and soon landed a Bonnethead Shark.  We then ran up to Jolley River, fished the "bank" and had a few tangles with high flying Ladyfish.  Then young Will, regulated to the back of the boat, hooked up, FISH ON!  This young angler fought the fish from port to starboard and back again, working the fish with his rod and after a good battle, landed a  nice 18 3/4" Slot Redfish!  We ran further up the creek where Gene Sr, fishing with a jig and shrimp,  picked up a Redfish; we moved around to the MOA and had very little bites.  Our last stop was over in Bell River, fishing some dock pilings with all anglers tossing jigs and shrimp and Will had the hot rod again, hooking up and landing another Slot Redfish, this one measuring 19.5".   His dad Robby followed that one up with one more Slot Red to wrap up another great day of fishing Amelia Island waters!
