We got in some "fun" fishing yesterday, my wife and I and neighbors Carlie and Zach Peyton. When we got to the Atlantic Seafood boat ramp we found that the whole river was "fogged in" with visibility about 50 yards. But we launched anyway with navigation lights on and eased up the river to get in some sight seeing while waiting for the tide to get right. I missed Fort Clinch on the first pass but we eventually picked it out through the fog, then we headed over to Cumberland Island and as we got to the Georgia side, the fog cleared to present a beautiful day!
There was one sole wild horse at the mouth of Beach Creek and after touring the creek we made a run to Jolley River to fish the very first of an incoming tide. It was perfect conditions and although we seemed to be getting a few nibbles, we had no takers. Our next stop was Tiger Island and here we had some good bites. Carlie got the "skunk off the boat" by catching and landing a nice feisty Redfish, her first ever Redfish. She then hook and landed up a keeper sized Seatrout. Zach and I were playing chess with "baitstealers" but Zach was patient and soon got in on the real action, landing a couple of feisty Redfish. We watched the sun go down over the marsh then headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
