Mau-En Lee had me set up 3 Amelia Island backwater boats to take he and his eight friends fishing today. They are all visiting to help send off one of their friends who will be getting married soon. We each had 3 in a boat an left the marina at 7:30 this morning. I had Mau-En, Daniel, and "V" with me as we headed up into Lanceford Creek. At our first spot I had the anglers tossing float rigs to a flooded grass patch but we had no takers. We moved on to some dock pilings and this did the trick when V started it off by hooking up with a nice Redfish. Then they all began to get hookups and we were able to stay at this spot for almost two hours. Most were smaller but feisty and fun to catch while a few of them reached into the Slot and put up some really good battles. Daniel added a nice18" Puppy Drum to the box. We made a move around to the logs of Tiger Island where Mauen picked up another Red then all the anglers were catching Seatrout off of the bottom with jigs and shrimp. This rounded out an Amelia Island Back Country Slam, but then Mau-En topped it off by reeling in a Flounder! We also caught our first Bonnethead Shark of the year, a hungry 12" one! It was a beautiful day, all sunshine, and a great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
