When you've got February days that are forecast to get into the low 70's and with only slight breezes, what do you do? Go Fishing! This morning I met Mike and Ann Austin down at the City marina along with Mike's sister Susan and her husband Tom. We headed out of the marina with sunny skies, no wind, and a tide that had been dropping for a couple of hours. Our first stop was up Lanceford Creek and the anglers were tossing live shrimp n 1/4oz jigs. It took a little while but the bite turned on. Tom knocked the "skunk" off the boat by hooking up and landing a nice keepr sized Sheepshead. Both both Ann and Susan and then Tom added some fiesty Redfish to the catch. We relocated and Mike's rod heated up as he landed two nice Red's. Tom was fishing deep and it wasn't long before he put the first Seatrout that we've had in a couple of weeks into the boat. We made a run around to Tiger Island and here the anglers had good catches of Seatrout. Most were caught deep in 25'30' of water, on the bottom. At one point Susan yelled, "I got a bite", then Ann added "me too"! We had a double hookup but as they were fighting their fish, Tom yelled, "fish on"! And we had a triple hookup! What a great way to wrap up a beautiful fishing day at Amelia Island, Florida!
