Steve and Tana Storey were in town with their kids, visiting from the Tallahassee area, and took in an Amelia Island backcountry fishing trip. We left the south end boat ramp early and headed up the Amelia River to the Horsehead area to anchor at a runout in Jackstaff Creek.
With Steve, Tana and I helping with the casting of the jig/shrimp combo, we were soon hooking up with fish. Conner, the oldest was reeling in his own fish, catching Redfish and Croaker and with some help, 3 year old Bryce joined in to catch a few too. Conner even began to pickup casting the spinning reel and Bryce overcame her fear of sharks to proclaim that she had caught one!
Steve and Tana got in some fishing of their own: Tana caught the only Seatrout, catching a couple at the mouth of Jackstaff while Steve caught a few Bonnethead Sharks, some Redfish, and Croaker. We moved around to Bubblegum Reef where the kids manned a couple of bottom rigs, catching Croaker after Croaker with a Redfish added also.
Steve completed the Inshore Slam by catching a nice keeper sized Flounder. The sun was up by now, the clouds had moved on and there was no breeze so we called it a day, another great one to be out on the water!
