Three Generations

I had the opportunity to fish with Dave Howard and his son  Graham  Friday morning, and this time they brought along Dave's dad Mitchell to make it three generations fishing together!  There wasn't a lick of wind but the skies were slightly overcast so we had a beautiful morning to do some Amelia Island back country fishing. I pointed The Anglers Mark north and we headed straight to Jolley River to fish an incoming tide.  I had thought we may still have some oysters exposed but they were covered so the anglers began fishing with float rigs and live shrimp (and a left over minnow or two).  All three were getting bites but it took the older generation to "get the skunk off" the boat when Mitchell landed a nice Seatrout.  Young Graham followed it up with a hard fighting Jack Crevalle.  There's was some good natured ribbing going on between the two older anglers and I think Graham learned a few things about fishing that he didn't know about his Dad and Grandad!   At one time Mitchell had a strong hookup that bent his rod over double and made the drag ZIP, ZIP, ZIP - a Bonnethead Shark had taken the bait and was running up river.  Mitchell played the fish expertly but it was having nothing to do with the light tackle we had offered and eventually broke itself off. 
We tangled with some Ladyfish then moved on up the river to fish a big marsh runout.  Again the anglers had bites, tangled with Ladyfish, then Dave's float disappeared and the drag began to rip, FISH ON!  The way the fish was fighting and his drag was ripping out, I thought for sure it was a Redfish but when Dave fought the fish to the boat we netted a big 22 1/2" Seatrout! This fish puts Dave into 3rd place in the Anglers Mark 2014 Bragging Rights Tournament-Seatrout Category (scroll down the right side of this report for standings).   We fished up a small creek where Mitchell picked up a Seatrout and Dave had a brief fight with another Shark, then we headed around to fish the outside of Tiger Island.  Dave caught a hungry Trout then we moved closer to the Tiger inlet and here Mitchell added another keeper sized Trout.  The anglers put a couple of Ladyfish in the net then we called it a day, another great one to be fishing Amelia Island waters!
