Late Afternoon Fishing

 I also fished this afternoon, getting out on the water with Robert Ballard and his son Zack.  We made a run up to the Jolley river to fish a stretch of exposed oysters on an outgoing tide.  Both Robert and Zach had a handful of fun to catch feisty Redfish, caught on mud minnows under a float and then on a jig.  Zach also had a good battle with a 2' Shark that he played perfectly but when he got it to the boat the shark was having none of getting landed and broke itself off.  We ran further up Jolley to Snook Creek, had no real bites, then moved on around to the MOA.  There was tons of bait

and fish busting it and we finally got a couple of Redfish to eat.  Both Robert and Zach tangled with high flying Ladyfish then we made a run to Tiger Island.  Here, Robert landed the biggest Redfish of the day but Zach again had a big "something" on!  He fought it perfectly, it ran deep, he kept the pressure on, but the hook pulled, darn it!  We continued to fish the area, caught a few more feisty Redfish, then called it an afternoon, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
