I wrapped my week up yesterday fishing with Glenn and Patti Langford. We met up at Old Town Bait and made our way over to the outside of Tyger to fish floats and live shrimp on a tide that had been going out for about an hour. As it's been all week, it was a beautiful day and as we eased up to some flooded grass we could see all kinds of bait activity moving around. It didn't take long for Glenn and Patti both to be getting bites and Glenn soon had a Slot Red in the boat, Patti a Seatrout. We caught a handful of fish before they quit biting then we moved across the creek, fished some edges, then move on.
Heading to the Jolley we made a stop at a large drainage and pitched jigs, then move around to Jolley Bank and worked along it tossing the floats. This duo was getting good casts and good drifts, but we had no takers so we moved on up the river and fished two more spots, but to no avail. Everywhere we fished was looking really good and were fishable, but the fish weren't cooperating.
Our final stop was around at Bell River, fishing some docks and here we had good luck. Patti found some Seatrout down deep and put a good handful in the boat, Glenn picked up a few, then Patti reeled in another beautiful Slot Red, and then added a keeper sized Weakfish to wrap up the day. We had a few fish in the box, had had action early and late, so as we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
