Shark Infested Waters

David Olson and his friend Linda planned a fishing trip with me this afternoon so we met at 2pm at the Atlantic Seafood and pointed The Anglers Mark to the backwaters of Amelia Island.  We had somewhat of wind, but it was a beautiful day to be out.  We made our first stop at a marsh run out on a high and outgoing tide.  We quickly dubbed Linda the knickname "fishfinder" because she seemed to have a knack for finding where the fish were!  She caught a couple of Seatrout  on a float rig with live shrimp then David joined in on the catching.   As we were holding the boat in a small creek, Linda's rod bent over and the line began to rip out, FISH ON!  She fought the fish perfectly and eventually subdued it, bringing a nice Bonnethead Shark to the boat for release.  After she fought another won to the boat, David hooked up with one, too, and played it expertly.  We stayed and caught a few more shark, then moved on to fish some now exposed oyster banks with jig/shrimp combos.  Later we moved to get out of the wind and fished some dock pilings on Lanceford Creek.  We boated a keeper sized flounder and a fat Seatrout, then headed in, counting it as another great day to be on Amelia Island waters!
