Flounder Girl

 We went early today to beat the heat and it worked out pretty good. I had met Allen and Lavern Webb up
at Old Town Bait and Tackle - they open at 6:00am - I was about 3rd in line- and as I was leaving there was a line out the door! Allen and Lavern and I pulled away from the dock at 6:30 and eased out of Eagans Creek and made a quick run up and around to the outside of Tyger. I went with mud minnows today, and they worked, kinda. Lavern had a quick hookup early and brought to the boat a nice Flounder for a quick boat-side release. After moving around the corner and working along Jolley "bank" Lavern had a good handful of Flounder catches and eventually got one that was of keepable size.

We fished a large drainage further up the Jolley, then moved on up to Snook Creek where Allen, fishing off the stern, had a good "thump" - he hooked it up and patiently brought to the boat a keeper sized Seatrout.

We fished the MOA at the last of an outgoing tide, then made the run back around to the Fernandina area, up Lanceford, and fished TM's spot. That sun had gotten up and it was getting hot but getting out early had paid off with a bit of action so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
