Birthday Double Slam

Lisa Alexander treated herself and her son Danny to a birthday back country fishing trip on The Anglers Mark yesterday morning.   After meeting up at Atlantic Seafood at 7am, we headed over to Lanceford Creek to fish the first of an outgoing tide.  The oysters were still flooded, but the anglers warmed up on some hungry Snapper around some dock pilings.  We moved on to the Jolley River and after using the Minnkota I-Pilot to "anchor" us at a creek run out, the fish catching heated up.  Both Lisa and Danny began to hookup with hungry Seatrout and feisty Redfish.  They were keeping a tally in a friendly competition and were staying neck and neck and at one time had a "double" with both anglers reeling in fish.  Lisa completed her inshore Slam when she reeled in a nice Flounder, then a little later,  Danny had a strong pull on his line, the fish stayed deep, but Danny worked him and we landed a nice, keeper sized Flounder to give Danny his inshore Slam.  I think they counted a total of 23 fish between the two of them and after a couple of more stops, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
