Kevin Sweeney brought his three sons over to Amelia Island for their first saltwater fishing experience this morning. We met at the City marina at 7am and headed north to fish the outside of Tiger Island with float rigs on the very last of an incoming tide. We had no real bites on our mud minnows so we continued on to the Jolley River and ran a pretty good ways up the river. We fished a nice marsh runout with no real bites then eased into a larger creek and anchored in the grass. Bryce got things started off by hauling in a couple of bottom hugging Stringrays then Ronan had a brief and intense battle with a Shark then Bryce was back at it reeling in a couple of keeper sized Snapper. We moved down to Jolley Bank as the tide really started out and found a good handful of fish. Dana got real hot at the stern of the boat, drifting a float rig along the grass line. He got his own personal "Slam", catching a couple of Redfish, a keeper sized Flounder and a hungry Seatrout. Ronan's rod then heated up as he picked up back to back keeper sized Flounder then he put the last fish in the boat, a very nice 17" Seatrout. With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
