We had a very nice day forecastd today, except for the wind. I'd set up a morning trip with Kent Hendershot and his friends Nick and Mark and we met at the Atlantic Seafood dock. They were staying at the
Addison on Amelia, just a short walk to the marina. It was already blowing but there were clear skies so we decided to give it a shot. And a shot it was, almost like one of those Red Bull's! We headed up Bell River to fish some dock pilings and after turning
The Anglers Mark into the current and wind, the anglers began to cast a jig/shrimp combo up to the pilings and an adjacent oyster bed on an incoming tide. It wasn't long before the fun started! All three anglers began to get hookup after hookup. I had pruchased 6-7 dozen live hrimp this morning and we were going through them like wildfire. Redfish, Seatrout, Black "puppy" Drum, and Sheepshead were caight, one after another. In an hour and half time iI guestimate these anglers landed 30-40 fish! They weren't real big -only about 4 were "keeper" sized (and all were thrown back), but they were real aggressive and fun to catch. However, the wind changed directions and picked up and the party was over. WE tried one more spot but it was just too difficlult to fish so we all agreed it was time to head in and count it as another great morning to be fishing Amelia Island!
