The Colucciello family - Steve and Patti and their son Vince and his girlfriend Nikki were visiting Amelia  Island before school starts back and took in an Amelia Island back country fishing trip on The Anglers Mark this morning.  We met down at the Big Talbot Island Park at 7am and headed up the Amelia River to fish last hour of a very high and incoming tide.  The water was way up in the grass so the anglers were tossing float rigs with live shrimp to the tips of the grass.   We had some early action with both Vince and his mom Patti hooking up with a couple of hard fighting Jack Crevalle.  The anglers also picked up a couple of hungry Seatrout.  We moved on around and into Jackstaff and although we had no real bites, we did have a shot at some very nice Sheepshead tailing up in the flooded spartina.  We then fished the mouth of Jackstaff and it wasn't long before Vince had a strong hookup and when his drag began to sing I knew he had a big fish!  FISH ON!  Vince got into the the hang of working the big fish up, letting his rod do the work, and after a battle from bow to stern and back to bow, we netted a 3'+ Bonnethead Shark!    We had a couple of more hookups with these hard fighting beasts and also had a Stingray.  Both Patti and Nikki caught keeper sized Snapper and Nikki added a keeper sized Seatrout.  Our final stop was around at Nassau River and here the anglers found the ever present "baitstealers" - the Croaker.  Steve even put a small, but neat, Grouper in the boat!  It was almost time to leave when Vince had a really good hookup but the wiley fish found a way to break itself off.  Steve tossed to the same area on the last cast of the day and BAM! FISH ON!  He played the fish patiently and after a good battle landed a nice 20" Slot Redfish!  And with that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
