With the Christsmas holiday fast approaching I was able to squeeze in an early morning fishing trip set up by Shaun Payne who brought along his two brother-in-laws Eric and Cade and his father in law Jay. We met at Atlantic Seafood at 7:30am after the tide had been coming in for about an hour and headed up to the Tiger Island area to fish with jigs and live shrimp. The water temperature had risen from 59 of last week to 62 but just like last week the anglers had to fish the jigs sloooow! Cade knocked the skunk off the boat by hooking up with a nice feisty Redfish. From then on all the anglers got in on the action, catching a good handful of Trout, a Blue, a bunch of baitstealers, and another Redfish or two. The wind picked up or changed directions so we made a fairly long run around to the docks of Bell River and got out of the wind. It wasn't long before this bunch from Texas were "Guns up", landing Seatrout after Seatrout! Cade pulled it all together by landing a keeper sized Sheepshead to round out an Amelia Island Back Country Slam. When we ran out of bait, we switched to Temptation Bait white flukes with red heads and picked up a few more Trout to wrap up another great day out on Amelia Island waters!
