Slot Reds lead to Slam
Davis Norris and his friend Kevin were visiting Amelia Island with their families last week and they decided to take in an backcountry fishing trip on The Anglers Mark. We left the Atlantic Seafood dock at 7am and headed up river to fish the outside of Tiger Island with topwater lures. Although we had a couple of "spits" at the lures, we had no real bites. We moved around to the docks of Lanceford Creek when the tide started out and this proved to be the ticket because the guys began to get good bites and hookups on live shrimp under floats. They ended up catching 10-12 Redfish with at least 3 of those in the Slot. Davis hauled in a keeper sized flounder and they had a couple of small Trout. We eventually ran around to the Jolley River and fished an now exposed oyster bank and the guys caught another Slot Red, some smaller Reds, a keeper sized Trout to round out an Amelia Island Backcountry Slam. We picked up a few more fish then called it a day, another great one to be out on the water!
