Beautiful Amelia Island

It doesn't get much better than leaving the dock early in the morning with the sun coming up, a slight breeze, and not a cloud in the sky!  Fred Fishel took in an Amelia Island fishing charter on The Anglers Mark this morning and we got an early start, leaving the dock at 7am and heading up the Nassau River for some backcountry fishing.  We made our first stop at "Leon's Spot" with the tide having been going out for about an hour and half.  We had a few nibbles on our live shrimp under floats, but no takers so we headed on up to Bubblegum Reef where again we had a few bumps on our shrimp, but no takers.  Fred was going to have to work for his fish!  Our next stop at a marsh grass point in Jackstaff proved to be the ticket because we picked up a couple of Seatrout.  Fred was making excellent casts and as we trolled the banks of Jackstaff with the oysters now exposed, Fred caught a couple more Trout and a nice Flounder.  We hit a couple of more spots then made a run to Broward Island where Fred picked up another Trout as the tide was reaching bottom, then we called it a day, another great one to be on the water!
