Manatee Sighting and Big Shark

Pinson and Tina Neal were visiting Amelia Island from Virigina and took in an Amelia Island backcountry fishing trip yesterday on The Anglers Mark with their two kids P4 and Landon.  We left the Sawpit Creek boat ramp at 7am and headed up the Nassau River to make our first stop at Spanish Drop where Tina started the catching off by hooking up with a nice Seatrout.  Later her line began to rip out and she had a fight on her hands!  She played the fish perfectly and we soon brought to the boat a nice 3' Shark for pictures and release.  Our next stop was Bubblegum Reef where Pinson caught a feisty Redfish.  The wind had picked up so we moved on to Broward Island and Pinson picked up a fat Seatrout.  The tide just wasn't right at Broward and after a short run we were fishing the mouth of Jackstaff, catching Seatrout.  Landon joined in to get things rolling with a Trout catch then P4 heated up the action, catching Trout after Trout. While anchored, we were all startled when a huge Manatee rolled out of the water, cruising rapidly up the creek!  We ended the day with a "double" hookup of trout, and counted it as another great day to be out on the water!
