Nothing Big But Catching Fish
I started the week off this morning fishing with Robert Smurthwaite and his wife Marcie, along with Robert's brother, Richard. We met down at the Atlantic Seafood dock at 7am and headed up to fish the Jolley River on the first of an incoming tide with mud minnows and jigs. It's always cool when your demo cast catches a fish and that's what happened, a nice feisty Redfish! We fished the oyster lined bank and the anglers traded turns catching small but feisty and fun to catch Redfish. Richard caught a fish that turned out to be a hungry Seatrout and as he worked it to the boat another bigger fish attacked it! He had both on for a short while, landed the trout, which was scarred up, then released it hopefully to have a better day! Darcie landed a hard fighting Jack Crevalle then we move on up the river to fish a large creek mouth. We had a few good bites but when we found a drainage area through some oysters they really began to catch the "rat" Reds. We hit the MOA, picked up some finger mullet for bait, then ran back to fish the Tiger Logs. The anglers had a few good bites, caught another couple of Redfish, then we headed in, counting it as another great day to be fishing Amelia Island waters!
