Great To Be Out On The Water


I fished today with Darrin and Laura Myers who were staying at the beautiful Elizabeth Pointe Lodge.  We met down at the City docks and headed north to fish the Jolley River with a few hours to go on an incoming tide.  It was a beautiful morning and the Dolphin were rolling out ahead of us as we made the short cruise to our fishing spot.  I had both anglers fishing with live shrimp under a float and although we had some nibbles, there were no real bites.  I switched them to jigs and shrimp and they picked up a couple of Croaker then we made a move to the Tiger Island logs, fished them thoroughly, and had one Ladyfish to the
boat.  We fished the outside at two different spots with no real bites then headed over to the mouth of Lanceford Creek to fish the very first of an outgoing tide.  Just as the trip was about to end Laura picked up a hungry Jack Crevalle, Darrin reeled in a a small Seatrout, then he again hooked up with a nice, keeper sized Seatrout to wrap the day up.  These two anglers didn't have a whole lot of action but they had great attitudes and you could tell they really enjoyed being out on the water.
