Fishing Lure

 I fished Wednesday before needing to head out of town for a quick trip - I met Frank Wytiaz and his long time buddy John up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. We made a long run over and up to the Jolley River and then all the way up to JC's spot and began working an exposed oyster bed with jigs and mud minnows. Frank got hot early when he hooked up deep with a nice 18" Seatrout. He followed that up with 22" Slot Red then both he and John put a couple of smaller but feisty Reds in the boat. It was a good start and I thought for sure we were off to a banner day!


But the next few spots proved fruitless (and fishless). We fished the MOA while we were up there, we came back and fished along Snook Creek; we ran back up and around to the Bell River and fished some sets of docks. Both anglers were getting good casts and working them slow but I had noticed when the tide changed we had stopped getting bites. Usually I like that first of an incoming tide but it wasn't good for us. 

We finally made our way back around to Tyger Island and fished the logs and the duo's patience did pay off when they caught a couple of Flounder. These two old friends had met up again, gotten out on the water for a day so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
