Variety Make s for a Fun Trip

College students Emee and Dillon Herbert were in town visiting their grandmother and took in an afternoon fishing trip on The Anglers Mark today.  We left the Atlantic Seafood dock at 3pm and headed up river, making our first stop in behind Tiger Island.  The first two casts produced hungry Croaker and while we were there the anglers added a handful more.  Dillon must have found a school of Black "puppy" Drum because he landed 2-3 three of them then Emee had a good hookup, played it perfectly and netted a nice 17" keeper sized Flounder.  We made a run up to the Jolley River and fished the flooded oyster banks
with float rigs.  Both Emee and Dillon took turns landing a variety fish including a Needlefish, Pin Fish, Snapper, Seatrout,  and Ladyfish.  We went further up into the Jolley and caught a Whiting then Dillon had a strong bite and a BIG fish on.  He played the fish patiently and fought it from bow to stern and from starboard to port.  The big fish made strong runs and ran deep and, FISH OFF!  OUCH!   The big one that got away!  But it was a good battle and a fun fight.  We made one last stop where Emee landed nice little Bonnethead Shark to wrap up a another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
