Under overcast skies this morning, I met Don Myers and his wife Susie down at the Big Talbot Island Park boat ramp to do an Amelia Island back country fishing trip as part of Susie's birthday celebration. We ran up the Nassau River to fish Bubblegum Reef on the very first of an incoming tide and weren't but about 10 minutes into the fishing when Don hooked up and, FISH ON! This was a big fish and was not planning on coming to the boat! But Don patiently worked the fish and after a battle from the bow to the stern and back to the bow, we landed a big 33" oversized Redfish that put Don squarely in the the lead of the
Anglers Mark 2014 Bragging Rights Tournament - Redfish category (scroll down right side of this report to see standings). Later, Susie hauled in a nice hungry Seatrout. We made a stop at Seymore's Pointe where Susie caught a feisty Redfish then we made a run to Broward Island where the "catching" heated up. Both Susie and Don caught feisty Redfish then they landed a Slot sized one, too. The anlers picked up aSeatrout and Sheepshead to round out an Amelia Island Back Country Slam and after making our last stop in Christopher Creek to pick up one last Red, we headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
