Fishing Lure

 I fished early this morning, meeting Patrick Tighe and his daughters up at Old Town Bait and Tackle at
sunrise and after easing out of Eagans Creek we made our way up and around to the Jolley River. We set up tossing float rigs and live shrimp and within seconds, the girls were catching fish -Seatrout and Redfish and Seatrout and Seatrout and Redfish. They caught for at least an hour. There were a couple of Slot sized Reds and keeper sized Seatrout in the catch, but all fish caught today were released.

We moved up the river, fishing a large outflow, and again, they stayed busy catching Seatrout. After fishing Snook Creek for just a short time we made our way around the corner and fished a bend in the river along some oyster beds with jigs. As we worked along the bank we weren't getting any bites but as we reached a gap between some oysters, BAM! It was fish catching time!  All three anglers put Redfish in the boat and they caught umpteen Seatrout. It was crazy how many fish we caught!

The weather had warmed, the sun was shining and once again, as we headed back to the ramp, we counted it as another great day to be fishing  here at Amelia Island, Florida.
