Fishing with the Poon Fishing Team today - I met Derek and his sons Zach and Tyler up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp - and we headed over to Lanceford Creek to set up fishing over some flooded oyster beds on a high and incoming tide. The trio of anglers were tossing float rigs and live shrimp and even though the first spot didn't produce, the second one did. Derek "knocked the skunk off" with a fine Seatrout catch, then he followed that up with another, this one of keeper size. Zach added to the catch when he hauled in another Trout.
We moved down the creek and fished between two docks, then moved around to the other size where Tyler got on the board when he battled a hard fighting Blue Fish to the boat. We eased around the corner to "Millies Spot" and here we had good action. Derek put a couple of Trout in the net, another one which was of keeper size, then Zach hooked and landed another keeper Trout.
After buzzing back to the outside of Tyger with the tide now going out, I thought for sure we'd have our best bite, but it was not to be. We moved around, hitting a couple of more spots, but they just didn't want to bite on that out going tide. But the sun was up, we'd caught a good handful of fish, and the scenery was beautiful so as we headed back to the dock we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida
