You Name It We Caught It!

 | By Seamus on 9/23/2012 9:24:18 PM | Views (49)

It was a very nice morning today, very little wind, overcast, and not too hot.  Jim Maggard had planned to treat his two sons Bryson and Zachory to an Amelia Island back country light tackle fishing trip on The Anglers Mark, so we met at the Atlantic Seafood dock down at the City of Fernandina Beach marina at 7am this morning - just after sun up.  We headed up to the Jolley River, loaded for bear!  We had (4) jig rods, (3) float rig rods, and (3) 8w fly rods and a live well full of shrimp.  We eased up to the exposed oyster beds and the anglers began to toss the jig rods with shrimp up near the bank and it wasn't long before they were catching fish.  They had a few Black (puppy) Drum, a few feisty Redfish, a couple of Ladyfish, and whole "mess" of Snapper, some Croaker, a Bonnethead Shark, a Stingray and a very nice keeper sized Flounder!  We moved on up the river and they picked up a couple of more Snapper then we made a run to behind Tiger Island to fish the downed logs, catching another couple of Snapper and a Croaker.  The tide was high and the oysters were covered by now so we moved to the outside of Tiger and with our last handfull of live shrimp, the anglers caught 5-6 nice Seatrout to round out an Amelia Island Back Country Grand Slam of Redfish, Flounder, Drum and Trout!  We were expecting a flood tide today so we strung up the fly rods and ran to 3-4 flooded grass flats to check them out.  On the last one, Jim had the good eye and spotted a lone "tail" feeding in the flooded grass.  Bryson and I waded out but we hadn't gotten too far from the boat when it disappeared, not to be seen again.  Bryson got in some blind casting then we headed back to the boat and headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
