Fishing Lure

 ...the Dara Flounder Show! She put three keepers in the box and had a couple of other "shorts" during our
fishing trip today. I had her and her husband William and father Bob fishing with me today and we launched from Old Town Bait early with some gloomy skies, but hardly no wind and with a tide that was still coming in, we made our way over to the outside of Tyger and fished the whole stretch with mud minnows and live shrimp on jigs. Dara picked up two keeper sized Flounder along there - Bob added a small Flounder and a Catfish, then we had another Catfish and a small Flounder or two. 

We moved around to the other side of Tyger and fished the first of an outgoing tide with float rigs. The trio picked up another Jack Crevalle then William had a strong bite and a little bit of drag ripping. He played it patiently and brought to the net a nice Slot Redfish to add to the box. We then moved across the way and worked a couple of banks with floats then we dropped back around the corner and switched back to the jigs and this paid off when Dara hooked up with her biggest Flounder of the day - she expertly eased it to the net and landed another keeper sized Flounder. 

Our next stop was up in the Jolley, fishing jigs, then floats, then jigs. Bob caught the only Seatrout of the day - it measured right at 14 15/16" so had to go back.  We'd had our best luck on the outside of Tyger and had a few good fish in the box and with Fish Tacos on our minds, we headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
