Calm Before the Storm

Things were looking pretty good this morning when I met Jeff and Jinny Key up at the north end ramp...but forecast called for rising winds and rain this afternoon. We made a quick run over to Egans Creek to fish some dock pilings on the last of an outgoing tide. With just a few casts, Jinny had a Trout hookup, then another then Jeff put a feisty Redfish in the boat. Jeff had a good bite, a hard run and his drag was ripping and...the big fish was in the pilings and BAP! Fish off! That's fishing!
We picked up another Red or two then made a run around to Bell River to fish some more docks.

Again, it was just short time and Jeff had a hookup, another feisty Redfish. But we fished those docks up and down and didn't get a bite. Our next stop was fishing some still-exposed oysters in the Jolley River, but no bites were had.

The wind was picking up but we had a good incoming tide so we made our way around to Tiger Island. Jeff landed another Red or two, Jinny put a Flounder in the boat and Jeff added a small but feisty Black "puppy" Drum. Now the wind was really kicking but this duo had their Amelia Island Back Country Grande Slam so we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
