4 Times Around the Boat!

Roger Edmiston, his wife Laura and their son Noah were visiting Amelia Island and took in a backcountry fishing trip on The Anglers Mark.  We left the Atlantic Seafood dock yesterday afternoon and made our first stop on the banks of Tiger Island, but had no bites!  We move on up to the Jolley River and anchored at a nice runout where Noah hooked up with a Big fish;  he fought the nice Trout to the net and we measured it to 20"!  We caught a few more Trout at that spot then moved on up the river to Snook Creek where Roger caught a nice Redfish, Noah caught a couple of more Trout, then FISH ON!  Noah's FINS Braided Line was ripping out, but he held on and the fight was on.  His mother, Laura pitched in and the two fought this big fish around the boat, not once, not twice, but FOUR times!  Roger and I were getting out of the way as they went 'round and 'round but soon the duo subdued the beast and we used the net to toss this 3'+ Shark into the boat for pictures.  Boy, what a fight!  We  eventually moved on to Tiger Island and picked up a few more Trout, then headed in, counting it as another great day to be on the water!
