I fished this morning with Leah and Brian Newsom and their grandson Caleb, meeting them up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. We put out 3 crabs traps on the way to the first stop, over at Tyger Island, but when we got there we began fishing jigs and live shrimp on an incoming tide. We didn't have a whole lot of action but we did snag a nice Flounder that Leah and Caleb teamed up to reel in.
Our next stop was up the Jolley, sticking with the jigs, fishing Snook Creek for a bit, to no avail, then we came out and drifted float rigs down the bank and here Brian had a strong hookup going long and expertly brought to the net a keeper sized Seatrout (eventually released). We had a few good bites along there then fished back at Tyger Cut with the floats, then made our way back around to the outside of Tyger.
Here we had good action catching Bluefish, putting a good handful in the boat. Leah did have one bite that took it all -float, leader and hook so we don't know what that was! We then checked the crab traps with Brian pulling them up and Caleb supervising, but we had no luck. Don't call me a Crabber! But we had a beautiful morning, had some action and so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
