We had a beautiful sunrise today and even though the wind was already blowing 10+ we headed out to do some Amelia Island back country fishing. Joel and Myra Godwin were visiting Amelia Island celebrating their anniversary so we met at the Atlantic Seafood dock in downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida this morning. Our first stop was up Lanceford Creek to fish some dock pilings with jigs/mud minnows on the last couple of hours of an outgoing tide. It wasn't long before the anglers were getting bites and soon Joel hooked up and reeled in a hungry Snapper. Joel had bass fished his Georgia waters and quickly got the hang of jigging and hooking up and eventually Myra got the hang of it too and reeled in a fat Snapper. Although the wind was picking up we pulled "anchor" and made a run north to Tiger Island and fished the vary last of the outgoing tide and then the incoming. Again, the Snapper were present and this time Myra had the hot rod and picked up a few. Later she had a good bite, a hook up, and this time the fish fought differently. The feisty fish put up a good fight but we soon landed a nice Redfish. We fished the entire island but the wind was really beginning to blow so we headed over to Eagans Creek to fish some more dock pilings. There wasn't much action going on but Myra did wrap the day up with a hungry Seatrout catch. With that, we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
