Joe Pomilia had finished up a conference out at the Omni and scheduled a Amelia Island backcountry fishing trip with me on The Anglers Mark. We met at the Dee Dee Bartels boat ramp on the north end of the island at 2pm yesterday and headed up to the Jolley River to fish the exposed oysters with a jig/shrimp combo. As we eased along the bank we began to get hookups and had one real strong one. FISH ON! Joe played the big fish expertly, working in gradually and we soon netted a huge, over the slot Redfish! After getting pictures we released the beast to the river. We continued to work the bank and Joe added another couple of Slot sized Redfish then he had a good hookup. You could see the fish shaking its head and when it got close to the boat we saw that this was a nice 21" Seatrout. We netted the fish, snapped some pictures, and released this fish also. The bite slowed so we hit another few spots, finding one more Red at some dock pilings. With the tide way up and the day getting long, we headed in, counting it as another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
