David Jones, his son Keith, and grandad Fred fished with me last evening. David and his wife Julie own and operate the
Blue Heron Inn, an elegantly appointed Bed and Breakfast within walking distance to the marina. We left the Atlantic Seafood dock at 3pm and headed up to the Jolly River, where within just a short time of fishing, Fred hooked up with a large Bonnethead Shark, fought it like a pro, and landed it for pictures and release. We moved on to another spot, but had no real bites. The tide was getting right, we had a nice breeze, and I just knew there had to be some fish ready to eat, and these anglers proved me right! They picked up a hungry trout at one spot and then as we eased up Jolley Bank, they begin to get some serious action. Keith was floating a live shrimp under a float up near the oysters and was getting good bites. He then had that float disspapear with a vengeance and he set the hook and hauled in a nice, fat keeper sized Trout. David added a large 19" Trout and then all three anglers were hooking up. We passed through a mess of Ladyfish and had a few more Trout. Later, behind Tiger, Keith reeled the last Trout of the day, so we headed in , counting it as another great day to be on Amelia Island waters!
