Trout Name of The Game

I had the pleasure of fishing with George and Margaret Isaacson again today, meeting them up at the Dee Dee Bartels Park boat ramp mid morning with plans to fish the first of an outgoing tide. Boy what a beautiful day it was to be out on the water! We made the run over to Lanceford Creek and set up along a marsh line to fish float rigs with live shrimp. We had only been fishing for a few minutes when George's float disappeared - he set the hook and, Fish On! George worked it to the boat and net and landed an fat 17" keeper sized Seatrout. (All fish caught today were released). And just minutes later,
Margaret hooked and landed a Trout of her own.  We then fished a grassy island but had no takers we moved around to Soap Creek and fished a nice marsh runout. On this stretch the two anglers picked up a handful of Trout.

After making the long run back and up the Bell River, we fished some dock pilings with jigs and shrimp and artificial. Although we didn't get any fish on the grub, Margaret found a sneaky Sheepshead which she outsmarted and landed.  Our next stop was over in the Jolley River and I think it was George's first cast and he had a Trout. We had some good bites quick, landed another Trout, then the bite was over as quick as it started. After one more stop at the mouth of Jolley we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
