New Spot One Fish

 It seemed like every time we moved to a new spot we either got a fish or had a bite. But only one!  I had met Mike and Linda McClane and their granddaughter Gabby up at the Dee Dee Bartels Park early this morning and we then ran up and around to the Jolley River and turned into the low incoming tide and began pitching live shrimp and jigs to the exposed oysters. We had a nibble here and there then Linda hooked up and "knocked the skunk off" with a nice keeper sized Seatrout catch. Mike tangled with a high flying Ladyfish and Gabby had a small Flounder to the boat before it threw the hook. 

We ran further up the Jolley and worked along some oysters. Gabby had her eye on a point of oysters and after making an excellent cast she had a strong bite and a hookup, Fish On! Gabby played it perfectly and after a good battle landed a 20" Slot sized Redfish. After finishing that stretch we moved on. 

Our next stop was back on the outside of Tyger where we fished a large drainage, then worked along a bank for a bit, still pitching jigs/shrimp, but to no avail. After running thru Tyger we cut into Bell River and set up alongside a flooding point. In short time, Mike, who was drifting "long" had his float disappear. He tightened up and let the circle hook do its job, and he had a hookup. He quickly reeled it in and landed another keeper sized Seatrout. And that was that! No more fish there.

After running over to Lanceford we eased up to another drainage (BM spot1).
Linda was drifting a float on the other side of a barely submerged oyster bed and wouldn't you know it. she had a big bight. This fish was ripping drag and heading up into the drainage- there's a good chance it was a big Redfish, but the line was going right over the oysters and BAP! Fish Off! Ouch!

We fished Soap Creek for just a few minutes but had only a nibble so we headed back to the dock, but with a few fish in the box, we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
