Trout Bite

Mike Eddins, his wife Erika and Mike's dad Phil made the trip yesterday morning to Amelia Island to fish the backwaters with me on The Anglers Mark.  The tide had just started out and the marsh grass was still flooded so we headed up to Jolley River to fish an outflow with float rigs and live shrimp.  Erika got the action started early by hooking up to a hard fighting Blue then she brought in a nice Seatrout.  Mike also added a Blue.  We fished a couple of more spots with the float rigs then switched to a jig/shrimp combo as the oysters began to show.  We had a good stretch of oysters that we fished and picked up another couple of Trout.  We made a move to Lanceford Creek and fished the docks where Mike found some larger keeper sized Trout out deep.  The anglers picked up a couple of those, found some smaller ones at another dock, then we headed in, counting it as another great day of fishing!
