82 Years of Experience

You can't beat the Fall fishing weather here at Amelia Island, Florida!  I met Bart Hough and his
father-in-law Albert down at the Dee Dee Bartels Park early yesterday morning and we made the long run around to Broward Island to fish the very last few minutes of an outgoing tide and the start of the incoming. The "demo" cast produced a bite and Albert worked in a nice feisty Redfish to start the day!

From then on it was catching fish! And big fish!  Albert put an oversized 30" Red in the boat then followed that up with a Slot 23" Red and then a Slot 26.75" Red!  Bart got in on the action and
began to catch Redfish, too. We worked that area for about an hour. Bart landed a couple of keeper sized Black "puppy" Drum before we moved on.

We fished some docks at Seyomore's Pointe and then wrapped up fishing at Spanish Drop. Here, Albert boated a 21" Seatrout and battled a 4' long Bonnethead Shark to the boat for pictures and release. The duo ended up taking home a nice bag of fish for dinner and it made for a great day of fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
