Grand Slam Weekend


Julie and Angela Moore, and daughter Maleha, were visiting the area this week and took in an Amelia Island back country fishing trip on The Anglers Mark today.  We had clear skies as we headed out of the marina and pointed our way towards the docks of Lanceford Creek.  The tide still had about 2 hours till low, but the oysters were showing so we pitched live shrimp up to the base of the oysters and dock pilings.  The bite was not on fire, but these anglers had a great attitude and worked at it until they began to get some bites.  Angela picked up a feisty Redfish, Julie caught a hungry whiting, and Angela added a Seatrout.  We hit another dock where Angela caught a keeper sized Seatrout and a hard fighting Puppy Drum.  We made a run over to the logs of Tiger Island where Maleah got in on the action with a couple of Snapper and Angela rounded out her Amelia Island Grand Slam by catching a Flounder.  Our last stop was up at the Jolley River.  We eased along the oyster bank and both Maleha and Julie caught Trout.  Angela had good battle with what looked like a slot Red, but the wiley Red tossed the hook, and swam off grinning! OUCH!  We fished the area for a while longer, then called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
