Two Slams

After a huge rain storm and long showers last night I was wondering how the fishing would be today. Yesterday we had "coca cola" water and I was interested to see what it'd be like today. I met Josh Dees and his son Benny up at the Dee Dee Bartels Park boat ramp and boy what a pretty day it was! We headed right over to the Jolley River and up it to Snook Creek where the duo began tossing float rigs with live shrimp on a tide that had been going out for an hour or so. We had a good many bites  and Josh picked up a hungry Seatrout and a fat Croaker. As we eased along the tide dropped a bit and we could see the oysters so we switched to jigs and things heated up!

Benny put a nice feisty Redfish in the boat and then it was "fish on" for a good hour or so. They caught a handful of those feisty Reds, a couple of Trout, a couple of Croaker and some "baitstealers". I gotta say that this young 9yr old is already an "angler" - he baited his own hooks, removed his own fish,  and netted his dad's fish. He was casting and catching like a teenager!

We came back to the mouth of Jolley and fished the "bank" and

again, we caught fish, one after the other. Both Josh and Benny had caught Reds and Trout then it was Benny he hooked up and landed a Flounder to round out his Amelia Island Back Country Slam. Shortly after that Josh followed that up with one of his own! We actually left fish biting to try another spot in hopes of bigger fish so we made the run back up river to the "MOA" where we set up, the tide still going out. 

Josh found the fish - catching a couple of Reds then he had a strong hookup. This one was pulling a bit more than all of the rest this morning; he handed the rod off to his team mate Benny who expertly brought it to the boat and the net - a keeper sized Seatrout! We fished it a bit more then called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
