I did a double yesterday, getting out on the water in the afternoon with John Greco. We ran straight up to the Jolley River to fish an incoming tide and right off John hooked up with a feisty Redfish. I was thinking, "all right, here we go!" But we fished and fished, had a few bites, but no takers so we ran back to fish the logs of Tiger Island. We fished the pockets between the logs from one end of the island to the other, had a few nibbles, but no real takers, until after about an hour of fishing we had a weird bite and a hookup! John worked the fish patiently up from the bottom and when it surfaced we saw that it was a nice big 21" Flounder! this fish puts John in 2nd place in The Anglers Mark 2014 Bragging Rights Tournament-Flounder Category(scroll down right side of this report for standings). We then made a run around to Lanceford Creek to fish some dock pilings. We picked up another small Flounder. We fished some flooded oysters further up the creek then again ran around to fish the outside of Tiger. Although it was some tough fishing both John and I agreed that it was a beautiful afternoon and a lot better than sitting behind a desk! With that, we counted it as another great day to be fishing Amelia Island waters!
