My afternoon trip began in kinda of a jumble. I met Joshua and Chrissy Williams at the Atlantic Seafood dock after lunch and even though the morning trip had been fairly calm, the wind had picked up. We made a run up Lanceford Creek but we had only been fishing for a short while when we realized that two young anglers were having engine trouble. So we threw them a rope and towed them down the river, the resumed fishing. But the wind was blowing so hard we had to leave. Our next stop was in Eagans Creek and although the anglers were getting nibbles, we had no real bites. We made a run to Tiger Island and the wind was somewhat blocked and the fish bite began. Both Chrissy and Joshua landed a good handful of feisty Redfish then Chrissy put a big 24" Slot Redfish in the boat! We moved about 50 feet and caught Redfish, Sheepshead and Black "puppy" Drum. We moved another 30 feet and had now real bites. Back to our original spot, the anglers resumed catching feisty Redfish then Joshua took a turn at a big Redfish. He patiently played the fish and eventually landed a nice 25" Slot Red! Even though the wind was blowing we were able to salvage a great day of fishing out on Amelia Island waters!
