 The weather was a but "grungier" this morning, misting when I picked up David Vice and his fishing
partner Greg over at Oyster Bay early. We headed back down Lanceford Creek and made our way up Bell and thru Tyger to make our first stop on the outside of Tyger to fish float rigs and live shrimp on the first of an outgoing tide. That first spot didn't produced, not a bite but after we crossed over the creek and began pitching we got bites right off. The duo of anglers landed a couple of small Seatrout, then David tangled with the first Ladyfish of the year, and boy were they big - I mistakenly called one a a small "Tarpon"- it looked like it had some girth and was high flying. Then David hooked up and battled a (now) oversized Seatrout to the net, measuring at 19.25", boy what a nice fish. 

We then made the run up to the Jolly River and worked the "bank" with the float rigs. It was Greg's turn to have the big battle - this fish took the live shrimp and ran, ripping drag. I was thinking "slot Redfish" as Greg battled it - but as he brought it to the boat we saw that it was a huge Seatrout. It made a couple of dashes and as I went to dip the net it made one last surge and "BAP", fish off! Ouch. We moved up the Jolley and fished a couple of spots, - Greg hooked and landed a hungry Flounder - then made our way over to the Bell River and switched to jigs. David had a strong "thump" under the boat and he expertly played a nice 20.25" to the net. This fish moved David into 3rd Place in the Anglers Mark 2026 Bragging Rights Tournament-Seatrout Category. We ended the day fishing some dock pilings and here both Greg and David caught Black "puppy" Drum and Sheepshead to round out their Amelia Island Back Country Grande Slam of Seatrout, Flounder, Black Drum and Sheepshead. As we headed back to the ramp we counted it as another great day to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
