Good Flounder Day

 We went north today when I met Garland Clark and his son Chris up at Old Town Bait and Tackle boat
ramp early. After easing out of Eagans Creek we made the short run over to Bell River and fished a flooded oyster point with float rigs and mud minnows on the very last of an incoming tide. The duo had a couple of nibbles but no takers. We ran thru Tyger and around to the outside and fished a point of grass with the floats as the tide started out over there. That didn't work so we moved around the point and switched to jigs and the minnows and that was the ticket.

We started off with a Seatrout catch then Garland put two Flounder in the boat. Chris hooked up and landed another hungry Seatrout. We then moved up the outside of Tyger and fished some drainages and got some bigger Flounder. Chris had gone to the mouth of the drainage, fished it back slowly and had the "bump".  He hooked it up and patiently brought to the boat a nice 17" Flounder.  The duo added another keeper sized Flounder then it was Garland's turn to haul in a big Flounder, this one measuring right at 18". We fished along that bank and caught a couple of more smaller Flounder before we moved on. 

Around in the Jolley we fished a couple of edges and caught some small but feisty Redfish, a Whiting and a fairly big Croaker and one more Flounder. We had clear morning skies, a nice breeze and then as the sun got up, some clouds to give some shade, and with a few nice Flounder in the box, we headed back to the ramp and counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
