We had a beautiful morning Saturday with so little wind we needed to coat up with some bug spray to keep the No-See-Um's at bay. It was only slightly overcast when I met Bob Brown and his grandson Jack at the Atlantic Seafood dock. We headed north to the Jolley River to fish an incoming tide with the oyster beds still slightly showing. At our first spot or two we had very few bites on our live shrimp and float rig's but when we hit Jolley Bank we had a couple of hookups, lost them, but the Bob landed a nice keeper sized Seatrout. The breeze had picked up slightly and there were not an more bugs. We move around to the outside of Tiger Island and here things heated up somewhat. Both Jack and Bob hooked up at the same time for a "double" - both played their fish perfectly and we netted two feisty Bluefish. We had hookups to hard jumping Ladyfish and had a brief battle with a Shark that ripped the drag out for a while then quit playing and broke off. It was a great day for a Grandfather and Grandson to get out on the water and spend quality time fishing here at Amelia Island!
