We Went To The Bank

 I fished again with the Sorah's today, Chris and his dad Ken, but this time Chris's wife Melanie joined the crew. We met north, up at Dee Dee Bartels Park boat ramp and a clear, sunny morning, we headed north and west, around to the Jolley River and turned into the "bank" to fish a high and incoming tide with float rigs and live shrimp. We worked the bank thoroughly and although all three anglers were getting excellent casts. we caught only Ladyfish and Jack Crevalle.  After moving up the river and fishing a good stretch of  flooding marsh at  Snook Creek, Ken did come away with a nice keeper sized Seatrout.

We came back down the Jolly and as I was passing a fishing looking runout on the outside of Tyger, we decided to fish it, switching to jigs and the live shrimp. From that drainage on for a good 200 yards has now become known as "Chris's


Bank" - we caught at least 10 Flounder, with a handful being of keeper size. The trio added another couple of keeper sized Seatrout, a Croaker, some small Whiting, a Black "puppy" Drum, an almost keeper sized Redfish, some more Jacks, and a wayward Sheepshead! We fished that stretch the last of the outgoing and the first of the incoming. 

FYI, Chris found that he could pitch his jig and shrimp up into the submerged grass and then work it out before it could settle in and the fish would hit it as it came out of the grass. We had a bonanza of fishing along that bank so as we headed in we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
