Susanna Braun and Garland Clark treated themselves to a back water fishing trip today to celebrate Garland's birthday and boy was it a pretty day! We met up at the Dee Dee Bartels Park early and headed over to Soap Creek to fish a large marsh run out with mud minnows under a float rig. Susanna got things started off quickly when she hooked up and landed a Seatrout. We eased up to an exposed oyster island and the fish catching commenced! Both Susanna and Garland were getting good drifts along the oysters and both were catching feisty Redfish. Almost every drift produced a bite. The fish weren't very big - all under the slot, but they were fun to catch.
Eventually the bite slowed so we bounced out to another oyster "island" and again picked up a few of he Reds. We then fished some docks over in Lanceford briefly, got a few bites but no takers, then ran back to Bells River to fish some oysters shell banks. Here, Susanna picked up a couple of more Reds using a jig and minnow.
Our next stop was around at Tiger Island. We worked along the logs pitching jigs and Garland found a hungry Flounder and we also picked up a couple of Mangrove Snapper. The sun was out, the breeze had died but we'd had a good morning of fishing so we called it a day, another great one to be fishing here at Amelia Island, Florida.
