Another "Chamber of Commerce" day hear at Amelia Island. You've got to appreciate these outstanding days to get out on Amelia Island's waters to do some back country fishing. I had met Mike and Christina McGinley down at the Atlantic Seafood dock this morning and we headed up Lanceford Creek to fish some dock pilings on an incoming tide. I started both anglers off with jigs and Shrimp but when we switched Christina to a float rig and shrimp we were able to find some fish. She'd let the float drift with the current right up to the pilings and sure enough, Black "puppy" Drum found the offering! Then Christina hauled in a Slot sized Redfish and when it came out of the water we saw that it was loaded with spots! The Redfish had 9 spots on one side and 7 on the other for a 16 spot legal Redfish that would have placed in the recent Safe Harbor Boys Home Redfish Spot Tournament! We then made a run around to Tiger Island where Christina found a Seatrout to round out her own Back Country Slam and Mike tangled with an aggressive Jack Crevalle. Our next stop was up at Jolley River bank and as the water began to cover the oysters the anglers picked up some nice fish - one time getting a double with Christina catching another Trout and Mike landing a feisty Redfish. After adding a couple of more Trout, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
