Down to the Last Shrimp

We fished out of the Fernandina Harbor Marina today, fishing with Ray Greco and his two friends John and Chip.  The tide was coming in but the oysters were still showing so we headed around to fish the logs of Tiger Island with jigs and live shrimp.  The anglers had only been fishing for just a few minutes when John had a strong hookup and, FISH ON!  He played the fish patiently and as it ran towards some submerged limbs, gently steered it away to deeper water.  After a good battle he landed a nice 20" Slot Redfish - what a great way to start a fishing trip!  We fished the area for a while longer, had some good bites, caught a few hungry Seatrout, and a Black "puppy" Drum, then Chip landed a keeper sized Flounder to quickly round out an Amelia Island Back Country "Grande" Slam of
Redfish, Seatrout, Flounder, and Drum.  As it turned out the trio of anglers had a friendly "tournament" going on to see who had the most fish for the day and they stayed neck-and-neck through out the trip.  We made a run up to Jolley River where Ray picked up another Seatrout early then they had a feisty Jack Crevalle.    We went up further into Jolley, caught a nice Croaker and a Seatrout, then made a final run to the outside of Tiger to fish the now flooded oysters and marsh grass.  The "tournament" was heating up as the day winded down.  Chip battled a nice Bonnethead Shark,  John picked up another Jack,  Ray got a Seatrout, then another Flounder.  It had come down to the wire and on the last Shrimp Ray caught another Flounder to claim the "Championship" for 2014!  And with that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
