Trout and Reds. Trout and Reds

Quinton White and his daughter Stephanie and son Garrett fished with me this morning, meeting me at the Atlantic Seafood dock at 7am.  We had a high outgoing tide and with mud-minnows in hand, we headed to Jolley River to fish the grass pockets of an oyster lined bank with float rigs.  Our first pass produced a number of bites from hungry Seatrout and feisty Redfish.  We netted a number of fish before Quinton hauled in a keeper sized Trout.   The oysters were showing well above the water line when we made our second pass so this time the anglers were tossing jigs and mud-minnows, letting their baits get down to the bottom, and again, they hooked up with Trout and Reds, Trout and Reds, with a keeper sized Trout thrown in.  We made a run further up into Jolley and although the bite had slowed, the anglers added another keeper Trout, this one the largest.  Our last stop was at Tiger Island where we found one Trout to wrap up the day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
