Karen Turner and her friend Cary Maxey visited Amelia Island early this morning and Carol and I greeted them along with a blustery cold wind. You always think of the ideal weather when you plan a fishing trip and wonder if you're crazy to even go out on a day like today. I'm glad we did!
We ran up into Lanceford Creek thinking that it might afford some protection from the North wind - and it did to some degree. It wasn't long after our first anchorage that Cary hooked up with a nice puppy drum. Then everyone joined in, catching drum after drum. Some were Red Drum and some were Black drum. Fishing and Catching was fast and furious for a few hours. By the end of the day we had totaled (7) Black Drum in the 14-18" range and (6) Red Drum in the 14-17" range. All the fish were caught on live shrimp floated under a Cajun Thunder or bounced along the bottom on a Sure Catch jig. In the picture, Karen holds up a drum she just caught while Cary fights another.
