Amelia Island Grand Slam

Kurt Powell and his son Davis fished with me today.  We met at the Atlantic Seafood dock this morning and headed up to Lanceford Creek with the tide almost at the bottom.  Davis hadn't fished but for just a few minutes when he hooked up and brought to the boat a nice Seatrout.  Shortly after that he did battle with a feisty Redfish and we netted it also.  Kurt caught a nice 18" Seatrout then Davis added a Puppy Drum to round out an  Amelia Island Back Country Slam!  The anglers picked up a few more Redfish and Seatrout then we made a run to the Tiger Island logs.  Fishing deep, both anglers
caught a few Seatrout then later we had a very strong hookup and the drag began to sing, FISH ON!  Davis fought the fish valiantly and after and extended battle he landed a 27 1/2" BIG Redfish!  This put Davis into 2nd place in my Anglers Mark 2013 Bragging Rights Tournament- Redfish category (scroll down right side of this report) Later, fishing deep and slow, Davis caught a Weakfish to make the Slam Grand!  We fished the outside of Tiger then headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
