After a long few days of nasty weather today turned out beautiful for the Lacek family - Marie and Gaise and their adult children Gaise and Victoria. We had met at the Atlantic Seafood dock early this morning and headed north of the first of an outgoing tide. After all of the rain and cooler weather the water temperature had dropped back down to 65 degrees. We made our first stop on the outside of Tiger Island and began to toss live shrimp under float rigs to some flooded oyster beds.
The anglers were not kept waiting long as their floats began to disappear and they all were soon tangling with the "poor mans Tarpon" - Ladyfish. And a couple of them had some heft to them! We moved around to another spot and Marie picked up a hungry Seatrout then Gaise Sr. hauled in a nice keeper sized Flounder. We made run up to the Jolley River and it was here that Marie hooked up and played to the boat a large and nasty looking Gar fish! We snapped a picture and tossed it back! We fished Snook Creek with no real bites, hit the MOA and had
no real bites then made a run around to the Tiger Logs. Here Marie landed another keeper Flounder and later Gaise 2 put a hefty keeper sized Trout in the boat while Victoria added the "cutest fish" of the day. With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
