We had to let a late afternoon thunderstorm pass through yesterday but when it did we had clear skies for a beautiful few hours of fishing. Adam Garner, his son Ryan and Ryan's girlfriend Morgan met me at the Atlantic Seafood dock and after the storm we headed north to fish some dock pilings at Eagans Creek. We had numerous bites and caught Croaker, Snapper, small Trout and a Puppy Drum. Then Ryan hooked up with something big up near the pilings. He played the fish patiently working 'em away from the dock, and we soon landed a nice 20" Slot Reddish! We made a move to another dock, fished for a while then Morgan had a hookup, a head shaking fight, and landed a nice 20" Seatrout. Minutes later she had another bite and this fish was big! Morgan took her time as the big fush went deep and from stern to bow and back to stern. After a 5 minute battle (and some unneeded coaching from the peanut gallery) she landed an oversized 29 1/2" BIG Red! We photographed and released the fish. Then Adam hooked up and he to landed an over sized Red. Then Morgan battled another to the net, this one measured 32 3/4", putting her in first place in The Anglers Mark 2013 Bragging Rights Tournament - Redfish category! Now, all three categories are led by the ladies! (scroll down right side of this report for standings). We moved on, fished a couple of more spots, landed 2 flounder to round out an Amelia Island back country slam, then headed in as the sun was setting, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
