Boy what a pretty morning!  I met Barb van Beyrer and her two kids Baylee and Cooper down at the Atlantic Seafood dock to fish the Amelia Island back waters on a high and falling tide.  We made our initial run up to Jolley River to fish a large creek outflow and almost immediately did the anglers begin to get bites!  Cooper put the first fish in the boat, a high flying Ladyfish and from then on all three anglers were catching fish.  They had a good handful of feisty Redfish, a Blue Fish, a couple of Ladyfish and Croaker.  Then, as Barb was reeling her float rig in, BOOM!  A nice fish took her mud
minnow and this time she new she had a good sized fish.  She worked the fish patiently to the boat and landed a fat keeper sized Seatrout!  We continued to fish the area, had a lull, then found a marsh outflow and the Redfish bite picked up.  After landing another handful we made a run back to fish Jolley Bank.   Baylee got her line out first and it paid off.  As she was reeling it in she had a hookup and landed a keeper sized Flounder to round out the trio's Amelia Island Back Country Slam!  We fished the whole bank, had some good bites, found another Redfish or two, then Cooper
wrapped the day up by catching a couple of hungry Seatrout.  With that, we called it a day, another great one to be fishing Amelia Island waters! Read More
