I fished this afternoon with Margaret Lumos and her friends Diane and Butch on the last couple of hours of an incoming tide. The anglers were using jigs and shrimp and mud minnows and both were getting eaten. We had made the run up to Jolley River to fish Jolley Bank and it wasn't long before Diane had hooked up with a hungry Seatrout. I believe she caught one or two more then Margaret got "on the board" by landing another keeper sized Seatrout. All the anglers had tangled with Ladyfish but it was Butch who put the first one in the boat. Our next stop was up at Snook Creek and we had some pretty good bites with one being what looked to be a nice Redfish, but it threw the hook, OUCH! We eased around to the MOA and before the GPS in the trolling motor could settle, Diane was catching fish! She landed one, two then three Seatrout right off the bat! While she was re-baiting, her brother Butch jumped in and picked up another Trout. He also landed a feisty little Black "puppy" Drum. We cast netted for some finger mullet then made the run back to the logs of Tiger and even though the tide was where I liked it, and even though the anglers had numerous bites, we had no takers. After that, we headed in, counting it as another great day to be out fishing Amelia Island waters!
