I got out this morning with Zack and Audrey Feldkamp along with Brian and Amy Deibler. We met at Atlantic Seafood at 7am and headed up to the Jolley River to fish the very last of an outgoing tide. Our first stop was at the MOA (Mother of All) Spot and the water was like a mirror as the anglers tossed their jigs with mud minnows up to the fully exposed oyster banks. We had good action early with Zack starting things off early by picking up a couple of Snapper and then Audrey and Amy had a double hookup, catching a feisty Redfish and Snapper respectively. We were getting good bites until a heavy rain shower passed through and all of us had to turn our backs to the sheets of rain and work through it. After the rain the bite slowed so we made a run back to Jolley Bank to fish the first of an incoming tide. Again we had good bites, catching Snapper, a couple of Trout, a feisty Redfish and Brian had a good fight with a Jack Crevalle. While fishing Zack spotted an Atlantic Saltmarsh Mink roaming the oyster beds. We made our final stop at Tiger Island where the anglers picked up a couple of more Snapper and a Trout then Amy had a big hookup and her rod bent over, FISH ON! She worked the fish patiently and after a good battle where the big fish hugged the bottom, she eventually landed a big 23" Flounder! This fish puts Amy in 2nd place in my Anglers Mark 2013 Bragging Rights Tournament, Flounder category (scroll down right side to see standings). We were surrounded by bird life, including a large flock of roosting Rosette Spoonbills. Audrey picked up a keeper sized Snapper then another keeper sized Flounder to wrap the day up, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters.
