50 Fish

After postponing our Tuesday trip due to rain, we were able to get out yesterday and had some fine weather to fish with the Cervino family - Nick and Tara and their daughters Lila and Julia. We met u at the Dee Dee Bartels Park and buzzed over to the Jolly River  and set up along the "bank", casting into the current with jigs and live shrimp. Non stop action. Boom! Fish on. Boom! Fish on. Boom! Fish on. Although most of the fish were not real big, it was great fun for the kids who caught Seatrout, Croaker, Red Drum, Black Drum, Pin Fish, Perch and Flounder. The bite did slow for just a tad as we
reached the point but after we had run up the river further it picked back up.

These anglers landed a nice Slot sized Redfish (all fish caught today were released) then the girls teamed up to battle an even bigger Slot Redfish. Tara was on the rod, Julia was on the reel, and Lila was doing the coaching and after a good battle they brought the 24" Slot Redfish to the net, boy what a fish fight!

We fished the outside of Tiger briefly and picked up a Trout and a couple of Flounder, then buzzed around and thru Tiger and over to Bell River, and again caught fish after fish. I guestimated that we had caught and released at least 50 fish which is great way for young anglers to experience fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
