Mack Attack

Today couldn't have been much prettier!  I met the Henson family - Kevin and Jean and their adult daughter
Jill - down at the Atlantic Seafood dock this morning.  It was clear and sunny with almost no wind as we left the marina and headed north up to fish the outside of Tiger Island.  I got the anglers started on float rigs with live shrimp and soon Jean was pulling in an aggressive Ladyfish.  Then Jill got in on the action and landed one, too.  The anglers caught a couple of more Ladyfish then we moved on up to Tiger inlet to fish, but had no real bites.  We made a run way up into Jolley River and fished a run out
where Kevin got on the board with a hungry Seatrout, then we swung back into Snook Creek and held as the tide started out.  I had switched the anglers to a jig and shrimp comb and the action heated up with Kevin landing a nice Whiting and Jean landed a feisty Blue Fish.  Then Jean's rod bent double and her drag began to sing, FISH ON!  And the fish kept going!  She applied pressure with her rod tip and slowed the beast down and soon began the long and arduous task of working the fish in.  But this fish was not going to subdue easily. It made a number of runs but Jean's light tackle held and she patiently played the fish into submission and soon we netted, photographed and released a 3 1/2' Bonnethead Shark!  Shortly after that Jill was working her jig along the bottom when her rod also bent over and the drag ripped out!  This fish didn't make the strong runs like the shark but it did head down underneath the boat.  Jill played the fish perfectly and we eventually netted a toothy 24" Spanish Mackerel - only the second that my guests have landed in the back waters - and with only a fluorocarbon leader!  Kevin picked up another Trout then we headed back to Jolley Bank where Jean landed a fat keeper sized Trout and Kevin hauled in a keeper sized Flounder to add the variety of fish caught by these visiting anglers.  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
