Catlin and Lesley Stults are staying at the Elizabeth Pointe Lodge here on Amelia Island for their honeymoon and took in an Amelia Island back country fishing trip on The Anglers Mark this morning. It was overcast but we had very little wind and a high outgoing tide so we headed up to the outside of Tiger Island and fished with top water lures. The anglers were getting numerous "spits" at the lures and Lesley hooked up with a hungry Bluefish and a hard fighting Jack Crevalle. Catlin had a couple of
huge hits but they didn't "hook"! We made a run up to Jolley River, fished with the top waters briefly then switched to live shrimp under a float. It wasn't long before both Catlin and Lesley had caught a few Trout. We ran further up into the river and fished a large creek with jigs and shrimp and Catlin caught a couple of Trout then both anglers rods bent and their drags began to rip, FISH ON! We had a double hookup! Lesley was on the stern fighting a big fish and Catlin was on the bow fighting one, too! They were going 'round and 'round the boat - Lesley's eventually broke off but Catlin was able to land his 3 foot plus Bonnethead Shark. And shortly after Lesley hooked up again! She played this fish patiently and after a long 6 minute battle (It took me a while to turn the video on) she landed an even bigger Shark! We fished further up in to Jolley, had some good bites but no takers, made our last stop at Tiger Island, then called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
