Beating the Wind

After getting in a great Friday morning fishing trip I also had the opportunity to get out that afternoon, too.  I met Doug and Joan Paul along with their college age son Lawder at the Atltantic Seafood dock down at the City marina just after lunch and with the wind whipping whitecaps we eased out of the marina.  These Connecticut anglers were game as we crossed the river to the safety of the marsh and eased in behind a land mass to get in some jig and shrimp fishing on the first of an imcoming tide.  It was still a little windier than the morning trip but we made the best of it and the anglers began to hookup.  Lawder "got the skunk off the boat" first by landing a very nice Flounder then they all joined in catching feisty Redfish.   We hit a couple of other spots but they were all buffeted by the wind so we called it a day, another great one to be out on Amelia Island waters!
