I fished today with Randy Hilyard and his two sons Ryan and Justin, meeting them at Atlantic Seafood and then making a run up to Jolley River to fish some flooded oyster beds with live shrimp under a float rig. We hadn't been fishing but a few minutes when Ryans float disappeared and he had a hookup! Ryan worked the fish in to the net -a nice Seatrout. Later he added another one and also had a feisty Redfish. Justin got in on the action when his bait was taken and he hooked up with a hard fighting fish. He and his dad patiently played the fish and landed keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum (all fish caught today were returned to the water to be caught another day). We moved around to the MOA spot and again Ryan caught a Seatrout. Their dad Randy was working with both boys and had them making excellent casts. We made our last stop at Tiger Island. Ryan had been catching most of the Seatrout and Justin turned out to be "the Redfish Kid" -landing a couple of more feisty Redfish garnering his own personal Amelia Island Back Country Slam of Seatrout, Redfish and Drum. Ryan put a hungry Sheepshead in the boat and got his Slam of Redfish, Seatrout and Sheepshead. With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
