Twin Slam

An overcast day couldn't keep the Bill Steinauer family from fishing the backwaters of Amelia Island today.  Bill and his wife Pam, along with their twin daughters met me at the Atlantic Seafood dock this morning and we headed up river, stopping The Anglers Mark at a flooded shell bed.   The anglers tossed live shrimp under floats and immediately began to get bites and soon boated a nice Bluefish, a neat Needlefish, a small Jack, and a whole host of other bait stealers!  We ran on up to the Jolly River and anchored in a creek runout and again found a great deal of bait stealers, so we eased out to the mouth of the creek and WHAM!  Bill had a good bite and caught a feisty Redfish.  The move proved to be the ticket because the whole family joined in catching Redfish, a couple of Trout, and Bill added a Flounder to round out the Amelia Island Backcountry Slam.  A number of Croaker were caught, too.  We eventually moved around to Tiger Island where the Steinauer family added a couple of more Croakers and another Redfish. With that, we called it a day, another great one to be on the water!
