Where's My Bobber?

Lisa Senecal was visiting Amelia Island with her sons Riley and Noah and took in an Amelia Island backcountry fishing trip on The Anglers Mark.  We left the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and headed up the Nassau River to make our first stop at the log strewn banks of Broward Island.  The Lisa and the boys were pitching a jig and shrimp combo as the tide started in and it wasn't long before Riley hooked up to a large Seatrout. He played the fish expertly to the net.  He caught a couple of more Trout then Lisa and Noah got in on the action by catching a nice Redfish.  Noah soon found that he could toss a live shrimp under a float to the bank and it soon would disappear prompting him to exclaim "Where's my bobber?!"  He caught a few more Trout using this method!  We eventually ran to Bubblegum Reef but had no bites so we motored through Jackstaff to it's entrance where Lisa caught and fought a Shark to the boat.  Riley completed an "Inshore Slam" by catching a Flounder then the anglers wrapped the day up by catching a whole slew of SeaTrout.  We headed in counting it as another great day to be out on the water!
