Persistence Passed Down

I had the pleasure of fishing again this morning with Wade Dial and his son Pierson.  We met at the Atlantic Seafood dock at 7am and headed out of the marina with the tide just beginning to come in.  We hit some dock piling early and picked up to feisty Redfish then reeled in a nice Flounder.   Our second stop was the logs at Tiger Island where Pierson got a fat Snapper and  Wade landed a keeper sized Flounder.  We moved on the Jolley River and after boating another Snapper and theaving Croaker Wade had a good hookup and battle on his hands.  He handed the rod off to Pierson who worked the fish perfectly and we landed big keeper sized Seatrout, to round out the anglers Amelia Island back country Slam!  Wade continued to work the bank patiently and every so often he'd  hookup and either reel the fish in or hand it off to Pierson.  Later, while fishing outside of Tiger Island we found some more Trout and this time Pierson was working the bank patiently and he hooked up, FISH ON!  Another Seatrout for a persistent angler!  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
