Flounder King

We had a beautiful morning again today - I commented that the river was like a lake it was so calm. I had met Steve and Debbie Kraman along with their son Seth down at the Atlantic Seafood dock and we made the run up to Jolley River to fish the first of an incoming tide with jigs and minnows.  We had only been fishing just a short while when Steve hooked up and landed a feisty Redfish.  Now that's the way to start a fishing trip!  From then on all three anglers were getting bites and hookups but it was Seth who was putting keeper sized fish in the boat.  He landed not one, but

two, nice 16" keeper sized Flounder and had a smaller one, too, which earned him the name, Flounder King.   Steve on the other hand was working on his Amelia Island Back Country Slam, catching a Seatrout to go along with the Reds that he had caught.   He also landed a really big Sail Cat(fish).  Debbie seemed to be adept at catching the Seatrout.  We worked the area for a good while, even switching to float rigs as the tide got up and put a few more fish in the boat.  We moved around to the mouth of Tiger and here Steve made it a Slam when he landed a keeper sized Flounder.  We picked up a couple of more Reds, another Seatrout, then headed around behind Tiger where Seth put one more Flounder in the boat. With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
