Trout King


Yesterday morning the flags were laying limp as we headed out of the City marina.  Ryan and Courtney Noble  and their relatives Ben and 6 year old Graham Fox had met me early on this beautiful day.  We headed up Lanceford to fish the dock pilings and as I set the trolling motor to "anchor", the water was like glass.  We had only fished a few minutes when Courtney had a strong hookup and landed a nice 17" Flounder.  Ryan got in on the action and picked up a few feisty Redfish then young Graham's TFO Tactical Fishing Rod heated up as he reeled in a couple of nice Seatrout to 18", earning him the nickname, Trout King!  This little guy could fish!  We eventually made a run to fish the Jolley River and had ideal conditions for catching fish.  Unfortunately, the dolphin had the same idea because they were cruising the bank busting fish!  The anglers picked up a couple of Seatrout then we headed to the Tiger Island logs where they caught a couple more feisty Redfish and another keeper Trout.  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
sized Seatrout then his dad picked up a couple too.  Courtney had made a cast and when her rod bent double and the drag began to sing we knew she had a big fish!   FISH ON!  She and Ryan worked as a team to subdue the beast and when we saw it roll we confirmed that it was a big Red.  They worked the fish patiently in and we soon netted a nice 25" Slot Redfish!  Then Graham's
