Fishing Lure

 

We had a beautiful day to kick off the week today - clear skies and only a bit of wind. After picking up Gary Yasuda, his son Allen, and David Vice out at Oyster Bay, we made the run over to the Tyger logs and fished jigs and live shrimp to the bank on a tide that had been coming in for a couple of hours. We didnt' get a whole lot of bites, but Gary did "knock the skunk off" with a hungry Flounder bite-first fish of the day! We then ran around to the Jolly River and fished the "bank" with float rigs and the shrimp but didn't get much more than a nibble. After running up the Jolley to Snook Creek we worked that bank for a bit, then dipped inside and switched back to the jigs.
This did the trick when David hooked up with a strong fish - he was fishing on the bow but the fish took him around the stern, back up to the bow, then back to the stern. David played him expertly and after a good battle landed the first Shark* of the year - a 4 footer!

We drifted up the creek while I reset the trolling motor remote and while I was doing that David and Allen doubled teamed a hungry Seatrout to the net. We made our way back down the river and fished Tyger Cut with the floats and I believe it was first

cast and BAM! We had a hookup - a hungry Seatrout. Then all three anglers were catching fish - we had one "double" brough to the net and had another one hooked up. David found three nice keeper sized Trout in that bunch - both Gary and Allen contributed to the catch with Seatrout landings. We'd had a beautiful day, caught a good handful of fish, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
