I was fishing north for a change today, meeting the Pelletiere boys - Len, his son Scott, and grandson Kevin - early and heading quickly over to the Tiger logs to catch that first of an incoming tide. We began by pitching jigs and live shrimp to likely spots and it was Scott who "knocked the skunk off" when he hooked up with a keeper sized Seatrout. Kevin matched that with a feisty Redfish that was just slightly under the Slot then Scott upped that with a keeper sized Flounder. Kevin stepped up an put a big 20" Seatrout in the boat and for about an hour or so it was all Kevin. He caught and landed two Slot sized Redfish and we picked up another fish or two (one was a small Black Drum - they had a "Grande Slam already!) then we headed up to the Jolley River.
Although the conditions were great - calm water, incoming tide, and little wind we didn't get a whole lot of fish here, other than a nice keeper sized Flounder that.....Kevin put in the boat.
We made the run back to the outside of the boat, set up at an ambush pointe over some shell bottom and all three anglers began to catch Seatrout. Scott had a big 19" Trout, Kevin added another keeper, and granddad Len landed a few Trout, manning the stern. It was getting slightly hot and the tide was getting high so after hitting a couple of quick spots, we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
