Richard Fritz was visiting Amelia Island with his wife, son and father in law and planned an Amelia Island
The Anglers Mark yesterday. We met down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp back country fishing trip on
and headed up the Amelia River to fish the Horsehead area during the last few hours of a high and incoming tide. The family had a small "tournament" going amongst themselves for the "first fish", "biggest fish", "most fish" and "last fish". Although we had a beautiful morning with absolutely no wind we found that it was somewhat detrimental to our comfort and the fishing! The bait fish were way up in the marsh and so were the fish and with no breeze it got rather warm, quickly! But these anglers were determined to catch some fish and they did pickup a couple of hard fighting Ladyfish. We fished the mouth of Jackstaff, Bubblegum Reef and then moved on down to the Spanish Drop area, and sure enough, when the tide started out we began to get a flurry of bites. Young Amir hooked up with a couple of Ladyfish and helped reel in an angry Jack. Richard landed a very nice keeper sized Trout and Ed reeled in another high-flying Ladyfish. We did see a number of Dolphin rolling through the water and took a short tour of the Big Talbot shoreline to make it another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
