Brent Hall and his friend Dave were visiting Amelia Island on business and took in a back country fishing trip on The Anglers Mark today. We made our first stop at the docks of Lanceford Creek and although there wasn't much happening, Brent was able to hook up with a feisty Puppy Drum. We fished the logs of Tiger Island and picked up a Trout or two then made a run up to Jolley River to fish the now flooded oysters. We finally began to see some movement in the water up near the marsh grass and as the anglers worked the edge they both picked up Seatrout. Brent had a very good strike and worked in a large, fat Seatrout. Then his rod bent over and he worked in an awesome but ugly Gar Fish! Boy those are some nasty looking teeth! We picked up one or two more Trout, ran further up the river and fished with no luck, then hit one more spot on the way back before calling it a day as the thunderclouds rolled in. It was still a great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
