Derek Johnson and his son Dallas along with friend Zack fished with me this morning.  We met at the Atlantic Seafood dock at the City marina at 7:30 this morning and we all commented that the river outside of the marina looked like glass.  The tide had been going out for about an hour so we headed up to the Jolley River to fish a creek run out.  Although we had a couple of nibbles, we had no real bites.  We then fished Snook Creek and Zack picked up a high-flying Ladyfish,  then made the run back to the mouth of Jolley and fished a still flooded oyster bank and here the action heated up.  Zack hooked up with a Seatrout and so did
Derek.  Then all the anglers were catching Blue fish, Ladyfish and an occasional Seatrout.  Then Dallas's rod bent double and his drag began to rip out, FISH ON!  He played the fish patiently and after a good fight we landed a nice Slot Sized Redfish!  We continued to fish the stretch and the anglers added a few more Trout and Ladyfish then Derek hooked up with a hard bite and landed a good-sized Whiting.  We ran up to the MOA spot and although the tide and conditions were perfect, we had no real bites.  We stopped back by Jolley Banks, caught a few more Ladyfish, then headed in,  counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
