Started Hot

We had a nice breezy morning today, just enough to keep it from getting hot. I had met David, Wanda and Charlie Morton up at Old Town Bait and Tackle on a tide that had been going out for about 2 hours. We eased out of Eagans Creek and made a short run over to Lanceford Creek to fish some dock pilings with jigs and live shrimp. Wanda "knocked the skunk off" after she had tossed a float rig over towards shore and let it drift over some oysters. Her float got "nibbled" all the way across and we thought sure it was a "bait stealer" but then BAM! Float Gone! Wanda tightened up and let the circle hook set and had a nice hookup. She played it patiently to the boat and landed a keeper sized Seatrout.

David and Charlie were fishing off the stern with the jigs and after Charlie had made a pinpoint cast up under the dock he had a strong bite and Big Fish On!  Charlie played it perfectly, let it run, lifted it up, let it run, then worked it in and landed a big 20" Black Drum, boy what a fish. Minutes later he landed a nice feisty Redfish, then a couple more of smaller Drum, another hand sized Redfish with 6 spots, then a hungry Seatrout. Charlie had the hot rod at that spot.

We made a long run back around Tyger, up to the Jolley and turned into the "bank" and fished it with jigs from the bow and float rig off the stern.  Again, Wanda kicked things off when she hooked up and landed a small Flounder. Charlie then got busy, picking up another keeper sized Seatrout then a small Flounder to round out an Amelia Island Grande Slam - Black Drum, Redfish, Seatrout and Flounder. On up the river he tangled with a Bonnethead Shark that eventually threw the hook. 

Around at the MOA we picked up a couple of Croaker, Wanda battled a Shark, then David brought a feisty Sheepshead to the boat. The bite had been better on the higher tide, which has been the norm the last few weeks, but we had caught fish, we had a few in the box, the weather was great so as we headed back to the rap we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florid.
