Plenty of Fish

Ed and Colleen Suarez were visiting Amelia Island and took in a back country fishing trip on The Anglers Mark this morning.  The tide was dead low when we met at Atlantic Seafood so we headed up to the Jolley River to fish the exposed oyster banks.  If you wanted some action then this was the place to be!  Non stop bites and catching and releasing for about 2 hours.  There wasn't a whole lot of size to the Redfish and Flounder that the anglers caught, but there was a bunch of catching.  They mixed in two handfulls of Croaker, some hard fighting, hard jumping Ladyfish, a couple of Snapper, and a nice Bonnethead Shark.  We continued to fish until we ran out of bait then stopped in and picked some more up.  Our next stop behind Tiger Island didn't produce any real bites so we came around to the ocean side and again the anglers were catching fish.  Ed rounded out his personal Amelia Island Back Country Slam when he picked up a Seatrout.  After more Trout, Ladyfish, and Snapper, we headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
