Sisters Day Out

I fished with sisters Karen, Lynette and Mitzi yesterday evening, launching from the Atlantic Seafood dock during the last few hours of a high and incoming tide.  We made a stop on the outside of Tiger Island and Mitzi was the first to hookup, catching a hard fighting "poor man's Tarpon" - the Ladyfish.  Shortly after that Karen hooked up and had a good bend put in her rod.  She patiently played this big fish and eventually landed a very nice sized Bluefish.  We made a run around to the inside of Tiger, fished the flooded logs, then ran up to Jolley River to fish Snook Creek.  We'd had a number of bites but no takers but then Lynette had a good bite and she quietly reeled in a feisty Bonnethead Shark.  Our last stop was back at the outside of Tiger Island as the tide began to start out and things heated up.  The anglers picked up a couple of hungry Seatrout then Mitzi reeled in another Ladyfish to claim the coveted "Golden Pocket Knife".  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters.
