Alisa Anderson set up a fishing trip this afternoon for her family and another family visiting Amelia Island this week. I met Brock, his daughter Emily and son Jacob along with Alyssa's daughter Meredith down at the Atlantic Seafood dock on a high and outgoing tide. We headed north to fish some flooded oyster beds with live shrimp under floats, but had no real bites. We made a move to fish deeper water with jigs and shrimp and this paid off as Emily was able to hookup and reel in a nice hungry Seatrout. The anglers kept having their bait stolen but Brock figured it out and snagged a keeper sized Sheepshead. Jacob followed it up with a Sheepshead of his own. We made our last stop at Jolley River and as we eased along the bank of exposed oysters, Jacob hooked up and landed a nice feisty Redfish to round out the anglers Amelia Island Back Country Slam! We made a run back to the dock and changed passengers, this time taking Alyssa and the rest of her family for a boat tour of the historic and nature sites of Amelia Island and Cumberland Island. We were treated to multiple sightings of wild horses on Cumberland before we headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
